Symptomatic aortic thrombosis in a preterm neonate.

Symptomatic aortic thrombosis is a devastating condition in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which is now increasingly being diagnosed with the availability of bedside ultrasound. Early intervention can go a long way towards preventing adverse outcomes. In our case, a preterm, very low birth weight, growth-restricted baby developed aortic thrombosis with hypertensive emergency and later limb-threatening ischaemia, which usually requires thrombolysis.

Comparative study of a new technique using nephroscope and resectoscope sheath and the percutaneous cystolithotripsy for the treatment of bladder calculus.

Introduction: Several minimally invasive approaches are available for the treatment of bladder stones, with each having its own advantages and disadvantages. We devised a new technique to overcome a few limitations of conventional techniques and compared its efficacy with conventional percutaneous cystolithotripsy (PCCL) technique.

Material And Methods: This was a randomized, open-label, prospective, controlled study conducted from July 2015 to December 2016 that included 62 patients with bladder calculus of ≥2 cm in size.
