Ureteral Obstruction and Ureteral Jet Identification -- A Case Report [PDF]
Journal of Education and Teaching in Emergency Medicine, 2021 Point-of-care ultrasound is often used as first line imaging for the evaluation of flank pain in the emergency department and can potentially expedite diagnosis or decrease the use of abdominal CT scans, preventing unnecessary radiation exposure. This is a case report of a 77-year-old female who presented with acute flank pain. Point-of-care ultrasound

DAMPs in Unilateral Ureteral Obstruction [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are released from tubular and interstitial cells in the kidney after unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO). DAMPs are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which mediate the initiation of an immune response and the release of inflammatory cytokines.

Success of Ureteral Stents for Intrinsic Ureteral Obstruction [PDF]
Journal of Endourology, 2008 Previous reports suggest a high success rate for retrograde ureteral stenting for intrinsic ureteral obstruction, but few preoperative predictors of success have been offered. We reviewed our experience to look for factors that suggest failure of stents for intrinsic ureteral obstruction.We retrospectively reviewed the outcome of retrograde ureteral ...

Stents for malignant ureteral obstruction
Asian Journal of Urology, 2016 Malignant ureteral obstruction can result in renal dysfunction or urosepsis and can limit the physician's ability to treat the underlying cancer. There are multiple methods to deal with ureteral obstruction including regular polymeric double J stents (DJS), tandem DJS, nephrostomy tubes, and then more specialized products such as solid metal stents (e ...

Ureteral obstruction caused by schistosomiasis
Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology, 2013 We report a unusual case of hydro-ureteronephrosis caused by schistosomiasis in a 66-year-old female. Computed tomography (CT) and biochemistry initially suggested a transitional cell carcinoma of the left proximal ureter. The patient was referred for reno-ureterectomy, but histopathological examination of the resection specimen demonstrated deposits ...

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Scleroderma is a life‐threatening autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in scleroderma skin and experimentally induced dermal fibrosis to determine its potential role and therapeutic implications.
