Objectives: This study aims to clarify the appropriate follow-up period after aluminum potassium sulfate and tannic acid (ALTA) sclerotherapy for internal hemorrhoids by transanal ultrasonography.
Methods: Forty-four patients (98 lesions) who underwent ALTA sclerotherapy were analyzed. Transanal ultrasonography was performed pre and post-ALTA sclerotherapy to observe the thickness and the internal echo image of hemorrhoid tissue.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine factors that predict vesicoureteric reflux during the first urinary tract infection in children and establish criteria for voiding cystography testing.
- Researchers analyzed data from 200 pediatric patients from 2004 to 2013, focusing on sex, clinical and laboratory variables, as well as ultrasound results.
- The results indicated that certain factors, such as high C-reactive protein levels and severe ultrasound findings, significantly predicted reflux, suggesting that cystography is necessary for those with specific clinical markers but not for others.
