Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on using rapid extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) as a treatment for renal colic, a condition causing severe flank pain, analyzing data from 214 patients over four years.
- - Pain relief was achieved in 81.31% of patients, with success rates varying by stone location—highest in mid and distal ureters (88.68% and 85%, respectively) and lowest in the pelviureteric junction (65.22%).
- - The procedure resulted in complete or partial stone resolution in 78.50% of cases after four weeks, though 20.56% of patients experienced complications, such as persistent pain and acute renal failure. *
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of 4 different analgesic regimens that include music and nitrous oxide during the treatment of renal lithiasis with ambulatory extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
Materials And Methods: A single-centre, longitudinal, prospective, randomized, open and parallel group study was conducted. Patients with renal lithiasis were included and were randomized to Group A (basal analgesia: midazolam (1 mg), fentanyl (0.
Objective: To report two new cases of Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the kidney, one of them with tumor thrombus in cava.
Method: Characterization of two new cases and literature review by PubMed search.
Results: We report the cases of two men diagnosed with primary renal Ewing's sarcoma, who have been treated with nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy, being in complete remission to date.
Objective: To review the unusual localizations of metastasic prostate cancer with the contribution of a clinical case of prostatic adenocarcinoma metastasis in the thyroid cartilage.
Methods: 49-year-old-male admitted with history of 48 hour hematuria associated with lumbar pain radiating to the lower extremities and cervical tumour for 3 months.
Results: CT scan of the thorax, abdomen and pelvis was performed showing an insufflating lesion on the left thyroid cartilage lamina suggesting chondrosarcoma, a 4 cm tumour on the posterior side of the bladder, and metastases on L4-S1 vertebral bodies and left iliac bone.
Objective: To determine whether a 10-core prostate biopsy scheme is superior to the sextant scheme in diagnosing prostate cancer in patients programmed for a first biopsy, with negative rectal digital examination and PSA between 3.5-20 ng/ml.
Methods: A randomized prospective study was performed comparing two prostate biopsy schemes, with randomization stratification according to prostate volume (< or = 50 ml and > 50 ml).
Objective: We review the presentation, diagnosis and treatment of Mondor's disease of the penis, with the contribution of a new clinical case.
Methods: A 43-year-old male reported to the emergency room with preputial inflammation and edema associated to swelling of the dorsal region of the penis for the previous three weeks.
Results: Doppler ultrasound revealed thrombosis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis, associated to candidiasic balanitis.
Objectives: To analyze safety and efficacy of KTP green laser photovaporization for the treatment of lower urinary tract obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia based on data from the medical literature.
Results: Most articles consulted emphasize its low complication rate, efficacy, and short learning curve. They have the limitation that most papers are not comparative, the number of patients included is low, and follow-up in many of them short.
