    Notes: Abstract A 47-year-old man presented with a left renal incidentaloma without hematuria. The tumor was complicated by inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus extending from Th11 to L4. A temporary IVC filter was introduced prior to surgery. A midline incision was used to perform a left radical nephrectomy and en bloc lymphadenectomy with excision of the inferior vena cava from above the level of the left renal vein to 2.5 cm above the confluence of the common iliac veins. The pathological diagnosis was invasive transitional cell carcinoma. The tumor thrombus consisted of transitional cell carcinoma that histologically invaded the walls of the IVC. He died of cancer 17 months after the operation for the liver metastases. This is the 18th case report of such a presentation in the literature.

    Distal ureteral atresia: Recovery of renal function after relief of obstruction at ten months old (2005)

    Notes: Abstract  A large cystic mass that occupied more than half of the abdomen was identified by ultrasound in a 10-month-old boy. Intravenous pyelography failed to visualize the right kidney, so we created a loop ureterocutaneostomy followed by temporary nephrostomy to improve renal function. Exploratory surgery revealed complete atresia of the distal right ureter. A ureteral stricture developed after ureteroneocystostomy and undiversion of the loop, so a second reconstruction procedure was required (pelvi-ureteroplasty and reimplantation of the right ureter with a psoas hitch) to free the patient from dependence on catheters. Despite the occurrence of giant hydronephrosis secondary to complete ureteral obstruction at the age of 10 months, the function of the right kidney could be preserved. Accordingly, aggressive attempts to promote functional recovery may be justified even when patients have advanced hydronephrosis.

    Transabdominal vesical sonography of urethral syndrome and stress incontinence (2003)

    Notes: Background: Transabdominal ultrasonography was used to study the bladder neck morphology in women with urethral syndrome or stress urinary incontinence, in order to determine the ultrasonographic findings of these conditions.Methods: A total of 210 female patients with a normal bladder, asymptomatic trigonitis, urethral syndrome, and stress incontinence were studied. The mucosal thickness around the bladder neck, the length of the anterior base plate of the bladder, and the anteroposterior vesical wall angle (APVA) at the bladder neck were measured on sagittal transabdominal vesical ultrasonograms with the patient in the supine position.Results: Patients with asymptomatic trigonitis or urethral syndrome had thicker mucosa around the bladder neck than the subjects with a normal bladder, and the subjects with stress incontinence had normal mucosa. The APVA was 158 ± 17 (mean ± SD) degrees in the subjects with a normal bladder. It was smaller in symptomatic patients and decreased to 109 ± 10 degrees in those with conservative therapy-resistant incontinence. The anterior edge of the vesical base plate was visible approximately 2 cm from the bladder neck in subjects without incontinence, while it tended to be absent in patients with incontinence and an APVA of less than 126 degrees.Conclusion: A small APVA appears to reflect bladder neck descent, while a small APVA without a visible anterior base plate edge may reflect hypotonia of the vesical base plate. Transabdominal vesical ultrasonography with the patient in the supine position provides useful information and can be carried out as a routine examination in female patients with micturition disorders.

    Device to promote pelvic floor muscle training for stress incontinence (2003)

    Notes: Aim:  Many patients with stress urinary incontinence do not have enough motivation to continue pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) by themselves. Therefore, a device was created to support PFMT, and its effect was examined.Methods:  Forty-six women with stress urinary incontinence were assigned to a control group or a device group in order of presentation. A pamphlet on PFMT was given to control patients, while the same pamphlet plus the device and instructions on its use were given to patients in the device group. The device had a chime that was set to sound three times a day when exercise sessions were scheduled. PFMT consisted of fast and slow pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises that were performed for 2 min and followed a rhythm set by the device.Results:  After 8 weeks, 20 patients from the control group and 21 patients from the device group could be evaluated. In the control group, only the quality of life (QOL) index improved significantly. In the device group, however, the daily number of incontinence episodes, the number of pads used daily, the QOL index, and the pad weight in the pad test improved significantly. Patients in the device group said that they felt obligated to perform PFMT when the chime sounded. Forty-eight percent of patients from the device group were satisfied with the outcome of PFMT, while only 15% were satisfied in the control group.Conclusion:  This device may be useful to support the management of stress urinary incontinence.

    Ultrasonographic changes of the female bladder neck during development (2002)
    Melbourne, Australia : Blackwell Science Pty
    International journal of urology 9 (2002), S. 0

    Notes: Background: Our previous study showed that the anteroposterior vesical wall angle (APVA) at the bladder neck on transabdominal ultrasonography varied widely between women. The present study examines whether the APVA changes during development in girls with a normal bladder.Methods: Seventy-four females aged 0–29 years with normal bladders were examined by transabdominal ultrasonography. They were divided into six age groups and their APVA was measured in the supine position by sagittal ultrasonography. Intravenous urography was conducted to examine bladder neck descent and bladder neck opening.Results: The APVA ranged from 85 to 200°. The mean APVA in girls aged 0–4 years was 129 ± 30° (±SD) and the mean APVA in girls aged 5–9 years was 135 ± 25°. The mean APVA at ages 10–14 years was 161 ± 26°; at 15–19 years, 164 ± 33°; at 20–24 years, 164 ± 18°; and at 25–29 years, 163 ± 16°. The APVA values of these four groups were significantly larger (P 〈 0.05) than those of the two younger groups. No bladder abnormalities were found on intravenous urography.Conclusion: The APVA was small in some girls under 10 years of age, but the APVA of girls aged over 10 years was similar to that in young adults. The APVA may reflect bladder base plate tone and be partially related to hormonal changes in females during development.

    Acute ascending necrotizing myelitis in Okinawa caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (1991)

    Notes: Summary A case of rapidly progressing ascending myelitis was necropsied. Necrosis was present throughout the whole length of the spinal cord and involved both the grey and white matter randomly. The perivascular lymphocytic infiltration in the spinal cord in the present case was more pronounced than that in the previously reported two cases of necrotizing myelopathy associated with malignancy. Using immunoperoxidase staining the presence of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV 2) antigen was demonstrated. Electron microscopic examinations revealed large numbers of HSV particles in the spinal cord. HSV 2 may be a common aetiological agent of necrotizing myelopathy and myelitis in Okinawa, an HSV 2 endemic area. In the present case, the necrosis was mainly found in the spinal cord but was also observed, to a very limited extent, in the brain.
