A 69 year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation presented to the Urology clinic with asymptomatic microscopic hematuria. His work up for hematuria included a negative cystoscopy and a computed tomography (CT) scan, which revealed what appeared to be a fluid collection around the left kidney with a perinephric infiltrative mass and two para-aortic enlarged lymph nodes.

Role of inflammatory markers in predicting spontaneous passage of ureteral stones less than 10 mm.

Introduction: In ureterolithiasis, the prediction of spontaneous passage poses a challenge for urologists. Moreover, there is controversy surrounding the preferred management approach, whether medical or surgical, as each approach has its disadvantages. Procalcitonin and other inflammatory markers were studied for predicting stone passage spontaneously, but their significance remains controversial.

Ureteral wall thickness (UWT) was proposed as a potential predictor for spontaneous stone passage (SSP). In earlier studies, the effect could not be isolated from stone size. Accordingly, we sought to determine whether UWT, alone or combined with stone size, could enhance SSP predictability.

Background: The gut, the ureter, or the Fallopian tube all transport biological fluids by generating trains of propagating smooth muscle constrictions collectively known as peristalsis. These tubes connect body compartments at different pressures. We extend here Poiseuille's experiments on liquid flow in inert tubes to an active, mechanosensitive tube: the intestine.

Purpose: To describe and develop predictors for spontaneous resolution of primary obstructive megaureter (POM) from early ultrasound measures.
Materials And Methods: Children referred to our institution between 2007 and 2023 for POM were reviewed. POM was defined as hydroureteronephrosis with ureteral dilation > 7 mm.
