ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: This review discusses deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) diagnosis and surgery using current urological knowledge and technologies. Materials and Methods: Narrative review of deep infiltrating endometriosis that result in urological issues. We examined manuscripts from Pubmed, Embase, and Scielo's database using the following MeSH terms: ('endometriosis') AND ('urology' OR 'urological' OR 'urologist') AND ('bladder' OR'vesical') AND ('ureteral' OR 'ureter'). Selection followed PRISMA guidelines. Sample images from our records were brought to endorse the findings. Results: Thirty four related articles were chosen from 105. DIE may affect the urinary system in 52.6% of patients. Lower urinary tract symptoms may require urodynamic examination. Ultrasonography offers strong statistical yields for detecting urinary tract lesions or distortions, but magnetic resonance will confirm the diagnosis. Cystoscopy can detect active lesions, although any macroscopic visual appeal is pathognomonic. Endourology is utilized intraoperatively for bladder and ureteral assessment, however transurethral endoscopic excision of bladder lesions had higher recurrence rates. Laparoscopy is the route of choice for treatment; partial cystectomy, and bladder shaving were the most prevalent surgical treatments for bladder endometriosis. Regarding the ureteral treatment, the simple ureterolysis and complex reconstructive techniques were described in most papers. Using anatomical landmarks or neuronavigation, pelvic surgical systematization allows intraoperative neural structure identification. Conclusions: DIE in the urinary system is common, however the number of publications with high level of evidence is limited. The initial tools for diagnosis are ultrasonography and cystoscopy, but magnetic resonance is the most reliable tool. When the patient has voiding symptoms, the urodynamic examination is crucial. Laparoscopy improves lesion detection and anatomical understanding. This approach must be carried out by professionals with high expertise, since the surgery goes beyond the resection of lesions and includes the preservation of nerve structures and urinary tract reconstruction techniques.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the renal parenchymal area in human fetuses, providing a descriptive analysis on the renal area development by demographic factors during the second gestational trimester. Material and Methods: We analyzed 84 fetuses (44 males and 40 females), for a total of 168 renal units evaluated in terms of longitudinal length, superior pole width, inferior pole width and thickness. Renal volume was calculated by ellipsoid formula. After renal pelvis dissection, length and width were evaluated; as pelvis is free of urine, we considered thickness as 1mm. Renal pelvis volume was also calculated by ellipsoid formula. Renal parenchymal area was assessed by excluding the volume of the renal pelvis from the total renal volume. We performed the statistical analysis by simple linear regression assessing the association between the variables analyzed with the fetal age. Results: Gestational age ranged from 12 to 23 weeks post conception. Mean renal parenchymal area of the right kidney was 666.22mm3 (45.86 to 2375.35mm3) and for the left kidney was 606.76mm3 (68.63 to 2402.57mm3). No statistical difference was observed between the sides (p-value = 0.3456) or genders (p-value = 0.07429). Linear regression between renal parenchymal volume and gestational age was positive for right kidney (y = 133.74x-1479.94 / r2 = 0.4009) and left kidney (y = 149.53x-1761.59 / r2 = 0.4591). Conclusions: The linear regression analysis indicated that renal parenchymal area correlated significantly and positively with fetal age, weight and crown-rump length with no statistical differences between gender or laterality. These growth curves provide a reference for functional volume of the kidney during fetal period.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: To compare postoperative changes in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in patients with macular holes treated with vitrectomy with Brilliant Blue-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling. Methods: Twenty-two eyes of 20 patients with macular holes were studied. Each eye was selected to undergo Brilliant Blue-assisted internal limiting membrane peeling. The circumferential retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was determined using spectral domain optical coherence tomography preoperatively and 2 months postoperatively. Mean overall and sectoral retinal nerve fiber layer thicknesses were obtained for each patient. Results: There was no statistically significant difference (p≥0.05) between the pre- and post-treatment measurements in relation to each CFN variable, i.e., on average, pre-treatment measures were the same as post-treatment measures. Furthermore, despite the differences between the pre- and post-treatment measures always being positive (pre-post >0), they are not statistically significant. Conclusions: This study showed no significant decrease in retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurements after macular holes surgery, regardless of age or sex.


RESUMO Objetivo: Comparar as alterações pós-operatórias na espessura da camada de fibras nervosas da retina em pacientes com buracos maculares submetidos à vitrectomia via pars-plana associada à remoção de membrana limitante interna. Métodos: Foram estudados 22 olhos de 20 pacientes consecutivos diagnosticados com buraco macular. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos à vitrectomia via pars-plana e remoção de membrana limitante interna corada com azul brilhante. A espessura da camada de fibras nervosas da retina em região peripapilar foi determinada por tomografia de coerência óptica de domínio espectral antes e 2 meses após a cirurgia. As espessuras totais e espessuras setoriais da camada de fibras nervosas da retina foram obtidas para cada paciente. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que não existe diferença estatisticamente significativa (p≥0,05) entre as medidas pré e pós-operatórias em relação a cada uma das variáveis. Conclusão: Este estudo não demonstrou diminuição significativa nas medidas da espessura da camada de fibras nervosas retinianas após a cirurgia de buraco macular, independente da faixa etária ou sexo.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Os discursos que concebem as prostitutas como vítimas são tensionados, por elas, pela recorrente afirmação de suas autonomias. A pesquisa aqui apresentada se deu a partir de imersão na Zona Boêmia da Rua Guaicurus, na cidade de Belo Horizonte, e de entrevistas com oito mulheres prostitutas. Apresentamos alguns mecanismos psicossociais que impedem o acesso das prostitutas ao circuito instituído de reconhecimento social, analisando a associação desses mecanismos com experiências de enfrentamento e resistência a dinâmicas de desqualificação social. As narrativas das prostitutas entrevistadas nos dão pistas de que suas trajetórias se constroem entre sujeição e resistência à sujeição, heteronomia e afirmação de autonomia. A ambiguidade das dinâmicas sociais lhes permite interpelar os efeitos destrutivos da subalternidade e, como efeito disso, elas disseminam no tecido social outros saberes sobre suas condições de vida.

Abstract The discourses that conceive prostitutes as victims are strained by them by through the recurrent affirmation of their autonomies. The research presented here came from immersion in the Bohemian Zone of Guaicurus Street, in the city of Belo Horizonte, and from interviews with eight female prostitutes. We present some psychosocial mechanisms that prevent the access of prostitutes to the established circuit of social recognition, analyzing the association of these mechanisms with experiences of coping and resistance to dynamics of social disqualification. The narratives of the interviewed prostitutes give us clues that their trajectories are built between subjection and resistance to subjection, heteronomy and affirmation of autonomy. The ambiguity of social dynamics allows them to question the destructive effects of subalternity and, as a result, they disseminate in the social fabric other knowledge about their living conditions.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective : to verify the association of success rate of percutaneous lithotripsy, Guy score and size of the stone. Methods: one hundred patients submitted to percutaneous nephrolithotripsy were evaluated. All stones were classified according to Guy Score. Patient free of stone was considered when residual fragments were ≤2mm. Results: according to guy Score, 54% were score 1 (Group 1), 18% score 2 (Group 2), 15% score 3 (Group 3), and 13% score 4 (Group 4). Success was observed in 77.77% in Group 1, 27.77% in group 2, 26.6% in Group 3, and 7.69% in Group 4. In patients with Guy score 1, there was statistical significance of prediction of free stone rate when evaluated according to the size of the stone. Among groups 2, 3 and 4 there was no statistical significance, but it was observed a trend in relation to stone size, the bigger the higher the chance of residual fragments. Conclusion: nephrolithometry by Guy Score and size of the stone are single predictors of success of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. Stone size may influence success rate of patients with Guy Score 1.


RESUMO Objetivo: verificar a associação entre taxa de sucesso de nefrolitotripsia percutânea, escore de Guy e tamanho do cálculo. Métodos: foram avaliados 100 pacientes submetidos à nefrolitotripsia percutânea. Todos os cálculos foram classificados de acordo com o escore de Guy. Consideramos o paciente livre de cálculos quando os fragmentos residuais fossem menores ou iguais a 2mm. Resultados: de acordo com o escore de Guy, 54% tinham escore 1 (Grupo 1), 18% escore 2 (Grupo 2), 15% escore 3 (Grupo 3) e 13% escore 4 (Grupo 4) . Houve resolução de 77,77% no grupo 1, de 27,77% no grupo 2, de 26,6% no grupo 3 e de 7,69% no grupo 4. Houve significância estatística para predição de taxa livre de cálculos entre os pacientes com escore de Guy 1 quando avaliados de acordo com o tamanho do cálculo. Entre os grupos 2, 3 e 4 não houve significância estatística, porém observamos tendência de que quanto maior o tamanho do cálculo, maior a chance de cálculo residual. Conclusão: a nefrolitometria pelo Escore de Guy e o tamanho do cálculo são preditores isolados para avaliação de sucesso da nefrolitotripsia percutânea. O tamanho do cálculo pode influenciar a taxa de sucesso de pacientes com Escore de Guy 1.

ABSTRACT

Os rastreamentos do câncer de mama e de colo de útero são feitos através de exames clínicos, laboratoriais e de imagem. Entretanto, o acesso a esses exames depende de fatores relacionados ao sistema de saúde, capacitação dos profissionais de saúde e iniciativa das mulheres para comparecer ao serviço de saúde. O presente estudo teve como objetivo levantar os conhecimentos, atitudes e práticas referentes aos exames ginecológicos em trabalhadoras de um instituto de organização social pública não-estatal. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, transversal, de campo com 34 funcionárias. Concluiu-se com o estudo que, o exame clínico das mamas foi o menos conhecido entre as participantes da pesquisa e que apenas 57% das entrevistadas, foram submetidas ao exame referido pelo profissional durante a consulta ginecológica. Assim, sugerem-se estudos mais aprofundados sobre as razões pelas quais os profissionais de saúde - médicos e enfermeiros - não avaliarem as mamas das mulheres que comparecem à consulta ginecológica, o que pode acarretar em prejuízos à saúde da mulher


Traces of breast cancer and cervical cancer are made by clinical examination, laboratory and imaging. However, access to these tests depends on factors related to health care, training of health professionals and initiative of women to attend the health service. This study aimed to raise the knowledge, attitudes and practices relating to gynecological examinations of workers of an institute of social non-state. For this purpose, we performed a descriptive, cross-country with 34 employees. It was concluded that the study, the clinical breast examination was the least known among the research participants and that only 57% of respondents were subjected to examination by such professional during the gynecological. Thus, we suggest further study of the reasons why health professionals - doctors and nurses - not assess the breasts of women who attend the gynecologist, which can result in damage to women's health

ABSTRACT

Non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma of the spermatic cord are rare. There is the registration of 14 (fourteen) cases of spermatic cord lymphoma in the literature, all treated with radical orchiectomy with or without radiotherapy. The adjuvant chemotherapy still is not a consensus, therefore the therapy must be individualized and applied according to the stage of the disease. The present study report a new case of primary non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma of the spermatic cord treated with radical orchiectomy through inguinal via with precocious ligature of the spermatic cord and adjuvant chemotherapy. Presently found with 2 and a half years of follow-up without recidivation clinical evidence, as the image exams show to be normal.

ABSTRACT

A gangrena de Fournier foi primeiramente descrita em 1883, como fasciíte necrotizante do períneo ou genitália em pacientes de ambos os sexos. Neste estudo realizamos uma análise retrospectiva dos principais aspectos de 19 casos de gangrena de Fournier registrados no Hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição, em Porto Alegre, entre janeiro de 1996 e maio 1997. Nove pacientes (47,4 por cento) eram do sexo feminino e 10 (52,6 por cento) do sexo masculino. Os fatores de risco mais freqüentes foram diabetes mellitus (31,5 por cento), abscesso perianal (31,5 por cento), alcoolismo (15,8 por cento) e imunossupressão (10,5 por cento). Obteve-se uma média de dois debridamentos por paciente. Foi realizada colostomia em dois pacientes (10,5 por cento) e cistostomia em três (15,8 por cento) A mortalidade compreendeu 31,5 por cento. A gangrena de Fournier consiste em uma patologia de etiologia variada, com sucesso terapêutico agressivo associado à antibioticoterapia de largo espectro e ao suporte clínico adequado

ABSTRACT

Os carcinomas sarcomatóides de bexiga são neoplasias raras, representando apenas 0,3 por cento das patologias malignas da bexiga. Por apresentarem marcado grau de malignidade e agressividade, devem ser sempre consideradas no diagnóstico diferencial dos tumores da bexiga. Os autores revisam a literatura e relatam o caso de um paciente de 62 anos de idade, branco e tabagista, com queixa de hematúria macroscópica, investigada por cistocopia e biópsia. Um exame histológico do tumor sugeriu carcinoma sarcomatóide de bexiga. O diagnóstico foi confirmado por um exame imunohistoquímico. Como o paciente apresentava severa disfunção ventilatória, foi tratado com ressecção transuretral do tumor, recusou a indicação de terapia adjuvante evoluindo para óbito 5 meses após o diagnóstico
