Hydronephrosis Caused by Metastatic Breast Cancer
Breast cancer metastasizes mainly to organs such as bone, lung, and liver, whereas metastases to the peritoneum and urinary tract are rare. Metastasis to the peritoneum or urinary tract may result in renal dysfunction, infection, and painful ...

Endoscopic laser-ablation for the treatment of orthotopic and ectopic ureteroceles in dogs: 13 cases (2008-2017). [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Ureteroceles are a rare condition in dogs in which conventional treatments can result in substantial morbidity. Cystoscopic and fluoroscopic-guided laser ablation (CLA) of ureteroceles can successfully relieve obstruction.

Clinical factors associated with postoperative hydronephrosis after ureteroscopic lithotripsy [PDF]
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the predictors of ipsilateral hydronephrosis after ureteroscopic lithotripsy for ureteral calculi. Materials and Methods: From January 2010 to December 2014, a total of 204 patients with ureteral calculi who ...

Ablation of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain SM2 increases smooth muscle contractility and results in postnatal death in mice [PDF]
The smooth muscle myosin heavy chains (SMHC) are motor proteins powering smooth muscle contraction. Alternate splicing of SHMC gene at the C-terminus produces SM1, and SM2 myosin isoforms; SM2 (200 kDa) contains a unique 9-amino-acid sequence at the ...

Ex vivo renal perfusion and autotransplantation in treatment of calculous disease or abdominal aortic aneurysm. [PDF]
Two more indications are described for temporary ex vivo perfusion of kidneys with revascularization of these organs as autografts to orthotopic or heterotopic locations. One of the patients had staghorn calculi which were removed from a solitary kidney.

Hydronephrosis Index as a New Method for the Evaluation and Follow-up of Fetal Hydronephrosis [PDF]
Background: The present study was conducted to compare the efficiency of hydronephrosis index (HI) with those of pelvic anteroposterior (AP) diameter and parenchymal thickness in the diagnosis of fetal hydronephrosis in the prenatal period, as well as 1,

Clinical Outcome of Children With Antenatally Diagnosed Hydronephrosis
Fetal renal pelvis dilation is a common condition, which is observed in 1–4. 5% of pregnancies. In many cases, this finding resolves spontaneously. However, sometimes it may be a signal of significant urinary tract pathologies.

Shear wave velocity measurements using acoustic radiation force impulse in young children with normal kidneys versus hydronephrotic kidneys [PDF]
Purpose: To measure shear wave velocities (SWVs) by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) ultrasound elastography in normal kidneys and in hydronephrotic kidneys in young children and to compare SWVs between the hydronephrosis grades.
