Recent studies in our laboratory using the Zucker obese (ZO) and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rat models resulted in unexpectedly high mortality rates in all genotypes including healthy homozygous lean Zucker rats, possibly because of renal dysfunction. Therefore, we evaluated left ventricular (LV)
OBJECTIVE
Abdominal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pseudocyst is an uncommon complication of ventriculo-peritoneal shunt placement. A large pseudocyst may exert a significant pressure effect, but vascular or urological symptoms are extremely rare. We report an unusual case of a CSF pseudocyst causing
OBJECTIVE
We assessed whether increased BMI has a negative impact in children undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP).
METHODS
Records of patients who underwent RALP were retrospectively reviewed and separated into healthy weight, overweight, and obese cohorts based on age-adjusted
Background: There is increasing evidence that maternal obesity is associated with several structural birth defects. Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) account for 30 to 50% of children starting kidney
Paratubal cysts represent approximately 10% of all adnexal masses. In most cases they are very small, but very few cases are reported in the literature where they exceed 15 cm of diameter. Furthermore, giant paratubal cysts complicated by bilateral hydronephrosis are unique. The Authors describe a
OBJECTIVE
To assess whether obesity is an independent predictor of mortality in women with cervical cancer.
METHODS
This retrospective cohort study of patients with stages IB1-IVA cervical cancer treated with curative intent at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1980 through 2007 categorized these women
BACKGROUND
It has become clear that obesity is associated with a variety of infectious diseases, including urinary tract infection (UTI) and renal scarring.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between obesity and the degree of febrile UTI (fUTI) and renal scarring in
BACKGROUND
Even though it is uncommon, uterine prolapse can cause compression of ureters and bilateral hydronephrosis, predisposing to arterial hypertension and renal failure. Hydronephrosis consequent to cystocele and to vaginal prolapse is even rarer.
METHODS
This paper reports on a 59 year-old
The obese ZDFxSHHF-fa/fa(cp) model was developed by crossing lean female Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF +/fa) and lean male Spontaneously Hypertensive Heart Failure (SHHF/Mcc-fa(cp), +/fa) rats. The purpose of the present study was to determine renal function and morphology, hemodynamics, and metabolic
OBJECTIVE
To determine the relationship between obesity and febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) in young children.
METHODS
We reviewed all medical records of children aged <3 years who visited our institution for febrile UTIs and infant national health checkups (controls) between January 2008 and
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) is a noncardiogenic-related rapid onset of bilateral pulmonary edema secondary to various etiologies that lead to upper airway obstruction. Despite the fact that it is more commonly seen in the emergency department (ED), pediatric intensive care unit (PICU),
In contrast to the majority of renal calculi, in situ extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for upper ureteral stones is still controversial. Some centers recommend retrograde mobilization of the calculus into the renal pelvis prior to ESWL as a routine procedure (UC + ESWL). To evaluate the
BACKGROUND
Hydronephrosis, reflux and renal failure are serious complications that occur in patients with neurogenic bladder associated with myelomeningocele. When the bladder compliance is lost, it is imperative to carry out surgery aimed at reducing bladder storage pressure. An ileocystoplasty,
The presence of hydrometrocolpos and postaxial polydactyly in a neonate can be caused by two genetic conditions; namely, McKusick-Kaufman syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome. There are no distinct clinical features that allow discrimination between the two syndromes, as the cardinal features of
