[Recurrent urinary infection as the first sign of neurogenic disease-- detrusor sphincter dyssynergia]. / Recidivni urinarni infekt kao prvi znak neurogene bolesti--detruzorsko sfinkterske disinergije.

In 35 patients with recurrent urinary tract infection and kidney disease, dysfunction of micturition mechanism was found. The causes of neurogenic disease include: trauma and spinal degenerative diseases as well as the development of chronic disorders of the spinal cord. These diseases are a predisposing factor in the development of lower tract infections. Studying the causes of kidney impairment we have indirectly come to the diagnosis of the basic neurogenic disease.

[Carotid bruit in the early diagnosis of cerebrovascular insult in hypertensive patients]. / Karotidni sumovi u ranoj dijagnostici cerebrovaskularnog inzulta u hipertenzivnih bolesnika.

The significance of carotid bruits for the occurrence of stroke in patients with elevated blood pressure was studied. Stenotic changes in the neck segments of the carotid arteries were confirmed by Doppler angiosonographic method. Of 110 hypertensive patients with audible carotid bruits, 47% had evidently pathological angiosonographic finding. Twelve percent of these patients suffered stroke within the next two years. Doppler angiosonography has an important role in detecting and following the occlusive disease of the carotid arteries, particularly in the prevention of stroke in hypertensive patients with carotid bruits.
