colic/edema

After an uneventful general anesthesia, in a horse negative pressure pulmonary edema developed due to acute upper airway obstruction during the anesthetic recovery phase after colic surgery. No pathologic alteration of respiration was observed until the horse stood up and began suffocating. The

This investigation aimed at estimation of the influence of low-intensive laser irradiation on ultrastructural changes in renal tissue according to electronic microscopy data in case of experimental renal colic. The experiment was made on twenty rabbits with a single or recurrent colic. Ten animals

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare unenhanced helical CT and excretory urography in the assessment of patients with renal colic. METHODS Fifty-three of 70 consecutive patients with acute signs of renal colic were prospectively examined with unenhanced helical CT, which was followed immediately by

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate in situ extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for the treatment of obstructing ureteral stones causing acute renal colic. In situ ESWL with an EDAP LT-02 piezo-electric lithotriptor was used in a prospective study to treat 67 patients with

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the value of clinical parameters and radiologic findings on unenhanced CT to the choice between interventional and conservative management for patients with acute renal colic. METHODS Unenhanced CT records of 183 consecutive patients with acute

The experiments were made on 22 rabbits with induced single or recurrent renal colic. Ten animals after renal colic were exposed to magnetolaser radiation. The histological examination of renal tissue demonstrated colic-related changes both in renal body corpuscle and ductules. Parenchimal edema,

Sera of 333 patients showing clinical symptoms of "Quincke edema" have been tested for their deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor. The diagnosis "Hereditary Angio Neurotic Edema" (HANE) could be stated in 39 cases, i.e. 11.9%. Clinical manifestations consisted of peripheral edema (80%), abdominal

Congenital C1-inhibitor deficiency, or hereditary angioneurotic edema (HAE), is a rare autosomal dominant disease due to alterations in the C1 inhibitor gene that results in a deficiency of antigenic and/or functional C1-INH. Affected patients are heterozygous, and their deficiency is incomplete,

OBJECTIVE To prospectively define the role of the double J-stent placement following ureteroscopic stone therapy in providing a pain-free postoperative period for patients with persisting loin pain and documented hydronphrosis. METHODS The study cohort consisted of 27 patients (mean age: 38.59

OBJECTIVE To report a rare case of renoureteral colic in a patient with a solitary left kidney, due to fibrosis around the renal pelvis and ureter from metastatic lobular carcinoma of the breast. RESULTS A 45-year-old patient consulted at the emergency services for pain in the left renal fossa that

In approximately 80 per cent of cases the gallbladder is closely applied to the superior medial aspect of the right colic flexure. This intimate anatomic relationship provides pathways for direct extension of both inflammatory and neoplastic lesions of the gallbladder to involve the adjacent colon.

The objective of this study was to determine whether helical computed tomography (CT) performed without oral or intravenous contrast agents is accurate in the evaluation of patients with suspected acute renal colic. One hundred consecutive patients with suspected renal colic or ureteral colic were

Experimentally, glucagon is an effective ureteral relaxant that induces a moderate diuresis. Our data suggest that in specified cases of ureteral colic, before the development of a ureteral bar, flaccid dilatation of the pelvis and renal shutdown, glucagon may facilitate the expulsion of small

This work was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of emergency ureteroscopic lithotripsy in patients with ureteral stones. From May 2003 to December 2010, 244 patients (184 men and 60 women, mean age 45.6 ± 12.7 years (range 22-73 years) were treated with emergency ureteroscopic
