vesico-ureteral reflux/leucadendron rubrum

OBJECTIVE Spinning top urethra (STU) deformity arises secondary to detrusor instability, leading to an increase in the intravesical pressure against a closed sphincter. We retrospectively analyzed the effect of biofeedback treatment on STU in children with dysfunctional voiding. METHODS A total of

OBJECTIVE The role of spinning top urethra (STU) in children with dysfunctional voiding was evaluated retrospectively. METHODS From 1995 to 2002, the records of 154 children with dysfunctional voiding were reviewed retrospectively. Of the children 110 (71%) were girls and 44 (29%) were boys (mean

OBJECTIVE It is well known that a relationship exists between vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and dysfunctional voiding, and the spontaneous resolution rate in older children is lower than the rate in younger children. In this study, we analyzed our experience with biofeedback treatment in older

OBJECTIVE To assess the utility of a new modality of video-urodynamic for study of lower urinary tract dysfunction and other uropathies in kids, replacing voiding cystourethrography by echo-enhanced cystosonography, without ionizing radiations. METHODS Prospective study with simultaneous performance

OBJECTIVE We evaluated a new noninvasive outpatient method of pelvic muscle retraining in children using computer game assisted biofeedback. METHODS All patients in whom voiding dysfunction was confirmed by history, uroflowmetry-electromyography and voiding cystourethrography were enrolled in a

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a versatile imaging modality that improves the diagnostic potential of conventional ultrasound. It allows for portable imaging at the bedside. In this paper, we illustrate how CEUS can be used in evaluating several focal lesions in the pediatric population,

BACKGROUND Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR) is an important association of paediatric urinary tract infection (UTI) found in 30-50% of all children presenting with first UTI. Contrast-enhanced voiding ultrasonography (ceVUS) has become an important radiation-free method for VUR detection in children. Its
