ABSTRACT

The cholesterol embolism syndrome (CES) is an unusual disease that carries a high mortality rate. Finding intraprostatic cholesterol crystal embolization as the result of transrectal prostate biopsy in a patient with several risk factors for atherosclerosis, should alert the urologist to the possibility of CES existence.

ABSTRACT

La Enfermedad por émbolos de colesterol (EEC) es una patología poco conocida pero con una alta mortalidad asociada. La presencia de embolias de cristales de colesterol a nivel intraprostático como hallazgo poco común en las biopsias prostáticas transrectales en un enfermo con factores de riesgo tromboembólico, debe alertarnos sobre la posible existencia de la EEC

ABSTRACT

Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente con hematuria macroscópica anemizante, causada por la presencia de una fístula entre la arteria iliaca externa y el uréter. Tras su diagnóstico, se realizó un tratamiento mediante abordaje endovascular. Las fístulas arterioureterales son una rara entidad, que supone una urgencia vital. Su diagnóstico debe basarse en la sospecha clínica (falta de datos en las exploraciones complementarias). Su tratamiento clásico ha sido la cirugía abierta, pero el abordaje endovascular debe ser valorado dada su menor agresividad (AU)

ABSTRACT

Presentation of case of patient with macroscopic anemic hematuria caused for the presence of a fistula between the external iliac artery and the ureter. After the diagnosis, a treatment with endovascular mangement was made. The arterioureteral fistulae are a very rare entie, which supposes a vital emergency. The diagnosis depend upon the clinical evidences (complementary explorations rarely provide specific findings). Classic treatment is bases on open surgery, while endovascular treatment may be an alternative with less aggressiveness.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: Three factors in extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) result in pain: shock wave pressure, size of focal area and pressure distribution at entry in the skin. Our Lithotripsy Unit has performed 21,000 outpatient treatments (Dornier HM-4 Lithotripter) with no sedation or anaesthetics. Pain requiring treatment discontinuation resulted in 10% instances. Anxiety-associated pain increases the perceived intensity of pain and influences the emotional response to pain. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the variability in the response to the pain stimulus caused by ESWL is related to the patient's status/trait of anxiety. METHOD: Sample 20 patients; inclusion criteria: pyelic lithiasis > 2 cm, no previous SWEL and no obesity. One SWEL session (2500 pulses, 22 Kv). Anxiety was first evaluated using the status/trait of anxiety index (STAI) questionnaire; after treatment, pain was evaluated on a Numerical Analogic Scale. RESULTS: Pain scores ranged from 2 to 8, mean score 4.1 (S.D. = 1.67); mean score for trait of anxiety 21.8 (S.D. = 8.52), and status of anxiety 29 (S.D. = 5.89). A significant correlation was found between pain-anxiety trait (R = .51; p = .02), which was higher when compared to pain-anxiety status (R = .67; p = .001). CONCLUSIONS: SWEL is a painful therapy (95% of sample had mild-to-moderate pain); pain perception is increased by status of anxiety (45% of pain variance) more than by the trait of anxiety (26.3%); therefore, usage of sedation-analgesia in patients with high anxiety status would improve the lithotripter efficacy ratio.

ABSTRACT

Los factores que provocan dolor en el tratamiento mediante litotricia extracorpórea por ondas de choque (LEOC) son tres: la presión provocada por la onda de choque, el tamaño del área focal y la distribución de la presión en su entrada en la piel. En nuestra unidad de Litotricia hemos realizado 21.000 tratamientos ambulatorios (litotriptor Dornier HM-4) sin sedación ni anestesia. El 10 por ciento de estos tratamientos presentó dolor, motivando su suspensión. La ansiedad asociada al dolor aumenta la intensidad del dolor percibido, pudiendo influir en la respuesta emocional al dolor. OBJETIVO: Determinar si la variabilidad en la respuesta al estímulo doloroso provocado por la LEOC, está relaciona-do con la ansiedad estado/rasgo del paciente. METODO: Muestra de 20 pacientes; criterios de inclusión: litiasis piélica menor de 2 cm, no haber recibido previamente LEOC y ausencia de obesidad. Realización de una sesión de LEOC (2500 impulsos, 22 Kv). La ansiedad se evaluó previamente mediante el cuestionario de ansiedad de estado/rasgo (STAI), y el dolor a través de la escala Analógica Numérica una vez finalizado el tratamiento. RESULTADOS: Las puntuaciones del dolor oscilaron entre 2 y 8, con puntuación media de 4,1 (D.S. = 1,67); puntuación media de ansiedad rasgo de 21,8 (D.S. = 8,52) y ansiedad estado de 29 (D.S. = 5,89). Existe correlación significativa entre dolor-ansiedad rasgo (R = ,51; p = ,02), si bien ésta fue mayor al comparar dolor-ansiedad estado (R = ,67; p = ,001). CONCLUSIONES: La LEOC es una terapéutica dolorosa (el 95 por ciento de la muestra presentó dolor leve-moderado); la percepción del dolor se incrementa por la ansiedad estado (45 por ciento de la varianza del dolor) más que por la ansiedad rasgo (26,3 por ciento); en consecuencia, el empleo de sedoanalgesia en pacientes con una elevada ansiedad estado mejoraría el cociente de eficiencia del litotriptor (AU)

ABSTRACT

The etiology of retroperitoneal masses that can compress the bladder or the ureters and can result in urinary sings and symptoms is highly varied and may include both benign and malignant entities. This paper contributes one patient that presented with relapsing retrovesical mass with cystic features. The diagnosis from the pathoanatomical study was intestinal duplication.
