Published: January 1990

An early diagnosis of the tumour relapse after performed nephrectomy for a malignant kidney tumour is necessary in order to influence further fate of the patient. The most suitable method for determining a correct diagnosis is computer tomography. The authors present a cohort of 79 patients with a pathological finding in 21 of them. In the other patients the finding after the operation proved to be normal, i.e. the bed was free after the performed nephrectomy, retroperitoneal vessels were free and the line of m. psoas on the surgically treated side proved to be intact. Computer tomography can prove not only the relapse, but also metastatic affection of other organs, particularly in the liver and adrenals.

Background: Gastric stump neoplasia is defined as a neoplasia that arises in the gastric remnant after at least 5 years of interval from the first gastric resection.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze 51 patients who underwent total and subtotal gastrectomy and multi-visceral resections in patients with gastric stump cancer.

Methods: The hospital records of 51 patients surgically treated for gastric stump cancer between 1989 and 2019 were reviewed.

Bacterial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common, ranging from benign cystitis to complicated pyelonephritis, which can lead to severe complications such as pyonephrosis and sepsis. Pyonephrosis, characterized by the presence of pus in the renal cavities, often requires urgent urological intervention. We report a unique case of pyonephrosis with a psoas abscess caused by and in a 64-year-old diabetic female patient.

Aim: Although the relief of ureteral obstruction seems to be a radical treatment for obstructive uropathy (OU), progressive kidney damage is the result because of the associated increased apoptosis and fibrosis. Therefore, it is urgent to find a complementary renoprotective therapy against partially obstructed uropathy cascades. Thus, this study investigated the renoprotective effects of both losartan (LOS) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) in partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO).

Recently, as the number of cancer patients has increased, much research is being conducted for efficient treatment, including the use of artificial intelligence in genitourinary pathology. Recent research has focused largely on the classification of renal cell carcinoma subtypes. Nonetheless, the broader categorization of renal tissue into non-neoplastic normal tissue, benign tumor and malignant tumor remains understudied.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and renal fibrosis represents a pathologic hallmark of CKD. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) is a stress response protein involved in acute inflammation, tissue injury and regulated cell death. However, the role of eCIRP in chronic inflammation and tissue injury has not been elucidated.
