The LANN technique to reduce postoperative functional morbidity in laparoscopic radical pelvic surgery

2005

BACKGROUND: We investigated the feasibility and advantages of introducing Laparoscopic Neuro-Navigation (LANN) into the field of laparoscopic gynecologic radical pelvic surgery. STUDY DESIGN: In a prospective pilot study, 261 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic radical pelvic surgery for cervical cancer or deep infiltrating endometriosis of the parametria. During the procedure, dissection and electrostimulation, and consequently, sparing of the pelvic parasympathetic nerves by transection of the parametria, were performed. Postoperative bladder dysfunction was documented. RESULTS: Laparoscopic dissection and electrostimulation of the pelvic splanchnic nerves were feasible in all pat…

Urīna analīzes savākšanas metodes ietekme uz tās rezultātu, pacientiem ar gūžas kaula kakliņa lūzumu

2016

Bakalaura darba tēma – Urīna analīžu savākšanas metodes ietekme uz tās rezultātu pacientiem ar ciskas kaula kakliņa lūzumu. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka X traumatoloģijas profila stacionārā aktualizējusies problēma par bieži sastopamu urīnceļu infekciju pacientiem ar ciskas kaula kakliņa lūzumu. Darba autorei, konsultējoties ar stacionāra ārstiem, radās aizdomas ka šāda problēma rodas izvēloties nepareizu urīna analīzes savākšanas tehniku. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt un analizēt urīna analīzes parauga savākšanas metodes ietekmi uz tās rezultātu, pacientiem ar ciskas kaula kakliņa lūzumu Mērķa sasniegšanai tika izvirzīti vairāki uzdevumi – literatūras analīze, urīna paraugu savākšanas metožu apskats…

Genome-wide association study and mouse expression data identify a highly conserved 32 kb intergenic region between WNT3 and WNT9b as possible suscep…

Item does not contain fulltext Bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC), the severe end of the urorectal malformation spectrum, has a profound impact on continence as well as sexual and renal functions. It is widely accepted that for the majority of cases the genetic basis appears to be multifactorial. Here, we report the first study which utilizes genome-wide association methods to analyze a cohort comprising patients presenting the most common BEEC form, classic bladder exstrophy (CBE), to identify common variation associated with risk for isolated CBE. We employed discovery and follow-up samples comprising 218 cases/865 controls and 78 trios in total, all of European descent. Our disc…

PREDICTING BLADDER CANCER AT THE EMERGENCY UNIT: THE IMPACT OF HEMOGLOBIN VALUE

2014

Aim of the study Haematuria represents the most common symptom at presentation in patients with bladder Cancer (BCa). However, no study has tested the predictors of BCa in patients presenting with haematuria. This prospective study was aimed to assess the factors associated with the presence of BCa in patients presenting at our emergency unit due to gross-hematuria. Materials and methods All patients presenting at the emergency unit of our institution for their first episode of gross haematuria between January and December 2012 were evaluated. All clinical patient characteristics, including the ongoing antiplatelets and/or oral anticoagulative treatment, were recorded. Demographical, hemato…

Capsaicin desensitization in vivo is inhibited by ruthenium red.

1990

The effect of systemic administration of Ruthenium Red on the excitatory and desensitizing effect of capsaicin was investigated in rats. Ruthenium Red was injected s.c. 30 min before capsaicin was administered. The excitatory effect of capsaicin on corneal, perivascular and visceral afferents was not influenced by treatment with Ruthenium Red. However, determination of the neuropeptide content and evoked neuropeptide release in peripheral organs and dorsal spinal cord 48 h after treatment showed that Ruthenium Red attenuated the 'desensitizing' effect of capsaicin at peripheral, but not at central, endings of primary afferents. On the other hand, a capsaicin-elicited autonomic reflex mediat…

Re: Urinary pH is Highly Associated With Tumor Recurrence During Intravesical Mitomycin C Therapy for Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Tumor

2011

The authors should be congratulated for their attention to basic and open questions on intravesical therapy of nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. Intravesical delivery of chemotherapy remains partly empirical, and the pharmacokinetics poorly understood. Every attempt to optimize intravesical therapy should be welcomed. Expensive new strategies to deliver an effective therapeutic tumor dose are currently being explored.1,2 It is reasonable (and mandatory) first to consider and study the basic principles of pharmacokinetics. In this retrospective study Maeda et al investigate the role of pH on the efficacy of intravesical mitomycin C (MMC) in vivo. Their experience shows that urinary pH highe…

Adjuvant intravesical therapy in intermediate risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurring after first cycle of intravesical treatment.

2011

Introduction and objectives The therapeutic management of intermediate risk NMI-BC recurring after intravesical therapy (IT) is not established. Cystectomy will be offered to patients at higher risk of progression but the majority will be retreated by IT. Although some Authors suggest BCG when intravesical chemotherapy (ICH) fails, some patients are retreated by ICH and some others repeat BCG adopted as first-line treatment. Not many studies have been published on this issue. The response to retreatment by intravesical therapy in terms of recurrence-free rate (RFR) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) is analyzed in 179 intermediate-risk patients. Materials and methods Only intermediate-risk …
