Objetivo: La urolitiasis en pacientes pediátricos es una condición de baja frecuencia, con tendencia hacia el aumento, por lo que es importante actualizar a urólogos sobre las opciones terapéuticas actuales. Describir las características clínicas, las técnicas quirúrgicas y sus resultados usadas para el tratamiento de la urolitiasis en pacientes pediátricos.

Materiales Y MÉtodos: El estudio incluyó todos los pacientes menores de 18 años quienes fueron tratados quirúrgicamente por litiasis urinaria desde el año 2017 al 2020, quienes poseían expedientes clínicos completos y seguimiento en el Hospital General de México.

Resultados: Veinte y un pacientes menores de 18 años fueron sometidos a procedimientos quirúrgicos para resolver la litiasis urinaria desde el 2017 al 2020. Los pacientes de sexo masculino fueron más afectados que pacientes del sexo femenino con una relación 3:1. El grupo de edad promedio de presentación fue mayor entre los 1-5 años de edad, la mayoría de pacientes poseían un adecuado índice de masa corporal ajustado por edad. El tracto urinario superior fue el mas afectado, solo 9% se localizó en el tracto urinario inferior, la mayoría de casos se resolvieron con técnicas mínimamente invasivas con una tasa de complicaciones de 14%, llegando al estado libre de litiasis en 90.47% de los casos.

Conclusiones: La litiasis urinaria es más común en el sexo masculino, generalmente en el grupo de edad pre-escolar. El índice de masa corporal en la mayoría de los casos se encontraba en rangos adecuados para la edad y el abordaje mínimamente invasivo fue utilizado con mayor frecuencia con 14% de complicaciones y un éxito de 90.47%.

Background: Pediatric urolithiasis is a rare condition around the world. Its presence and incidence are augmenting in developing countries, remarking the importance for urologists to keep updated to latest trends about its management.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the clinical features and therapeutic surgical options and results for urinary tract stone disease in pediatric patients.

Materials And Methods: This study included all pediatric patients who undergo surgical procedures to manage pediatric urolithiasis between 2017 and 2020 who had complete medical records and adequate follow-up in the General Hospital of México “Dr. Eduardo Liceaga.”.

Results: Twenty-one pediatric patients undergo surgical treatment for urinary lithiasis between 2017 and 2020. Males were more affected than female with a relation of 3:1. The mean age at the procedure time was between 1 and 5 years old. The majority of the patients had and adequate body mass index (BMI) according to percentile by age. The upper urinary tract was mostly affected by lithiasis, only 9% of cases were located in the lower urinary tract. The majority of cases were treated with minimal invasive techniques with 14% of complications, and success rate of 90.47%.

Conclusions: Urinary lithiasis is more common in male, usually locates at the upper urinary tract, frequently in the group of 1-5 years old, most cases had an adequate BMI, and the most frequently used techniques are minimal invasive, with a lower rate of complications and great success.

Objective: To review and compare robot-assisted ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy (RALUU) and laparoscopic ipsilateral uretero-ureterostomy (LUU) in terms of efficacy and outcomes.

Methods: Clinical data of 65 children with complete renal ureteral duplication deformity admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to December 2022 were collected. Among these, 42 patients underwent laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LUU), designated as the LUU group, while 23 patients received robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (RALUU), designated as the RALUU group.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.

Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.

Background: High prevalence of urinary tract infections (UTI), including cystitis, and concern for antimicrobial resistance justify safe and effective non-antibiotic therapies for prevention of recurrent UTI (rUTI). This study investigated the effect of a whole cranberry fruit powder supplement on incidence of culture-confirmed UTI (primary outcome) in females with rUTI history.

Methods: This multicenter, 6-month, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study enrolled 150 healthy females (18-65 years, body mass index (BMI) >17.

First evidence of human infection by the kinetoplastid flagellate Dimastigella trypaniformis in a patient with urinary tract infection.

Int J Infect Dis

January 2025

Molecular Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, 10029, USA. Electronic address:

We present a case of an 88-year-old man with symptoms consistent with a urinary tract infection, whose diagnostic workup uncovered a previously unrecognized motile flagellated protozoan. Molecular identification confirmed the organism as Dimastigella trypaniformis, a free-living kinetoplastid from the Rhynchomonadidae family. Known only from soil samples in Scotland and termite gut contents in Australia and Germany, Dimastigella trypaniformis has not been previously reported to infect vertebrate hosts.
