AI Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous rupture of the upper urinary tract is a rare but serious condition, often caused by kidney stones, trauma, or tumors.
- The text highlights a specific case where a ureteral obstruction from a urothelial tumor led to a rupture of the renal pelvis.
- The discussion focuses on the challenges faced in diagnosing and treating this uncommon medical emergency.
Article Abstract
Spontaneous rupture of the upper urinary tract is a rare and potentially serious pathology. Lithiasis is the most frequent cause. However, other causes are incriminated such as trauma, retroperitoneal fibrosis and especially stenosing tumors. Few cases of excretory tract rupture secondary to tumor obstruction have been reported in the literature. We report a case of spontaneous rupture of renal pelvis secondary to ureteral obstruction caused by urothelial tumor and discusses difficulties of diagnostic and treatment.

Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) poses significant challenges, affecting neonatal health and neurodevelopmental outcomes worldwide. The specific effects of placental trophoblasts on the pathological development of sPTB subtypes-preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (pPROM) and spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL)-are not fully understood, making it crucial to uncover these impacts for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we investigated transcriptomic and cellular differences at the maternal-fetal interface in pPROM and sPTL placentas.

Stent-graft implantation is a widely recognized method for endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms. In cases where the aneurysm involves the thoracic and abdominal aorta, repair including fenestrated and branched stent grafts provides a viable alternative. This approach, initially reserved for patients unsuitable for open surgery, has become preferred for anatomically appropriate thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
