Change of urodynamic patterns in infants with dilating vesicoureteral reflux: 3-year followup.

15 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: Reports concerning bladder dysfunction patterns in infants with high grade vesicoureteral reflux during the first year of life vs older children with reflux are contradictory. To describe the development of bladder function characteristics ... Read more...

Predictive factors for vesicoureteral reflux and prenatally diagnosed renal pelvic dilatation.

15 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: We sought to identify predictive factors for primary vesicoureteral reflux among infants with prenatally detected renal pelvic dilatation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 250 neonates were diagnosed with isolated renal pelvic dilatation ... Read more...

Review of current theories for abdominal aortic aneurysm pathogenesis.

30 Aug 2009 Atherosclerotic plaques are a feature of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Atherosclerosis and AAA appear to share similar risk factors. These observations have led to the conclusion that AAAs are a consequence of advanced atherosclerosis.This ... Read more...
