Bladder adenocarcinoma during pregnancy: a case report.

BACKGROUND: Renal tract neoplasms account for only 15% of all cases of hematuria and are rare before the age of 40. Few cases of bladder carcinoma diagnosed during pregnancy have been reported. CASE: Adenocarcinoma of the dome of the bladder caused hematuria beginning at 20 weeks' gestation but was not diagnosed until the postpartum period. CONCLUSION: Hematuria during pregnancy is usually associated with infection. However, neoplasms must be included in the differential diagnosis.

Experimental evidence of increased ipsilateral gentamicin nephrotoxicity after unilateral ureteral obstruction.

This study describes an experimental model for the investigation of nephrotoxicity in which the aminoglycoside, gentamicin, is given after unilateral ureteral obstruction is produced. The preliminary findings indicate a significantly more severe loss of renal function in the obstructed kidney which receives gentamicin than in the obstructed kidney which does not.

Scrotal imaging in the Henoch-Schönlein syndrome.

Testicular involvement in patients with Henoch-Schönlein syndrome may occur in as high as 15 per cent of the cases. Scrotal imaging is extremely accurate in differentiating hyperemia (vasculitis) from impairment of blood flow encountered in torsion of the spermatic cord, the most common cause of acute scrotal swelling in children.

Urachal diverticulum in a 3-year-old boy.

A case of a urachal diverticulum that presented as a right lower quadrant mass in a 3-year-old boy is reported. There was no urinary tract infection or obstructive uropathy in this patient. Classification of urachal anomalies is reviewed.

Necrotic testicle with increased blood flow on Doppler ultrasonic examination.

A twelve-year-old male with a five-day history of scrotal swelling and pain had increased blood flow on ultrasonic examination. A testicular flow and scan indicated an ischemic testicle. Surgical exploration revealed complete torsion of the spermatic cord. In chronic cases of torsion, the Doppler stethoscope may give a false negative result because of reactive hyperemia.

The Doppler stethoscope and the diagnosis of the acute scrotum.

We evaluated 30 patients who had acute scrotal swelling with the Doppler stethoscope. Every case of epididymitis and torsion of the appendix testis demonstrated an increased testicular blood flow. The cases of spermatic cord torsion had no blood flow on ultrasound examination.

Fluorescence of testicle. An indication of viability of spermatic cord after torsion.

We present an objective measure of testicular viability intended to aid the surgeon in salvaging the testicle at the time of operation for torsion of the spermatic cord. Following the intravenous administration of 5 to 10 cc. of sodium fluorescein, the viability of the untwisted testicle can be determined by its fluorescence when exposed to a portable long wavelength Wood ultraviolet light source.
