The Role of Ultrasonography in Identifying Hydronephrosis
No full textHydronephrosis refers to an abnormal enlargement of the renal pelvicalyceal system resulting from obstruction or disturbance of normal urinary drainage. This condition may present in either acute or chronic forms and, if not identified and managed promptly, can progress to permanent renal impairment and eventual kidney failure. Ultrasonography is widely recognized as the primary imaging technique for assessing hydronephrosis due to its broad accessibility, noninvasive nature, affordability, and absence of ionizing radiation. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the clinical significance and diagnostic effectiveness of ultrasound in the identification, differentiation, and follow-up of hydronephrosis across various underlying cause
Improving the diagnosis of acute pyelonephritis using Doppler ultrasound
No full textThis article describes the way of improving the diagnosis of cute pyelonephritis, which is a bacterial infection of the renal pelvis and parenchyma most commonly seen in young women. It remains common and continues to have significant morbidity in certain groups of patients, using doppleroghraph
Correlation Of Prostate Cancer With Diseases Of The Cardiovascular System And Type 2 Diabetes
Get PDFThis study examines the potential correlation between prostate cancer and two prevalent conditions: cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Prostate cancer is a significant global health issue, and comprehending its association with other common diseases is crucial for comprehensive patient care and public health initiatives. The study investigates the correlation between prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension and atherosclerosis, as well as the correlation between prostate cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The results provide insight into potential shared risk factors, underlying mechanisms, and implications for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies for these diseases. This abstract summarises key aspects of the study, highlighting its importance in furthering the understanding of the complex relationships between prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease as well as type 2 diabetes
Echocardiographic Assessment of Left Ventricular Systolic Function in Lymphoma Patient After Initial Dose of Chemotherapy in Baghdad Teaching Hospital
Get PDFDespite cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) can be initially asymptomatic, if not detected and properly managed, it may progress to severe and irreversible heart failure. Therefore, identification of high-risk patients and early detection of subclinical myocardial dysfunction are fundamental tasks for the management of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, involving both cardiologists and oncologists. LVEF has low sensitivity for the detection of small changes in LV function. LVEF calculated by conventional 2DE often fails to detect small changes in LV contractility because of several factors. These factors include LV geometric assumptions, inadequate visualization of the true LV apex, lack of consideration of subtle regional wall motion abnormalities, and inherent variability of the measurement. Accordingly, strategies using newer echocardiographic technology, such as STE-derived strain imaging for the early detection of subclinical LV systolic dysfunction. GLS being the most robust and reproducible among the myocardial strain parameters, this parameter has raised the interest of the investigators to detect early and subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients at risk of CTCR
Varicose Eczema: Current State of The Problem
Get PDFVaricose eczema, being a common dermatological manifestation of chronic venous diseases, nevertheless remains an insufficiently studied problem. Without being a dangerous disease, varicose eczema significantly reduces the quality of life of patients. The term “varicose eczema,” although it has become commonly used, is ambiguous. The problem of varicose eczema is primarily organizational: effective diagnosis and treatment requires interaction between surgeons and dermatologists. To date, there are no uniform approaches to diagnosing skin lesions in chronic venous insufficienc
Clinical and morphological features of chlamydial pneumonia
Get PDFThis article defins chlamydial pneumonia, this disease, a subtype of atypical pneumonia, poses a significant health concern, particularly among pediatric populations. This retrospective study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of chlamydial pneumonia in children aged 3 to 8 years. A total of 26 children with confirmed Chlamydia pneumoniae infection were examined, revealing notable respiratory and extrapulmonary manifestations. Clinical presentation varied, with symptoms ranging from rhinitis and tracheobronchitis to unproductive cough, fever, and chest pain. Bronchoobstructive syndrome was prevalent, accompanied by leukocytosis, eosinophilia, and accelerated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Radiographic findings predominantly showed interstitial changes and increased vascular components. Macrolides emerged as the primary therapeutic agents, leading to clinical recovery within 10-14 days. These findings underscore the importance of early recognition and appropriate management of chlamydial pneumonia in pediatric patients
Phytocenological study of L. chinense Mill. and L. barbarum L. in the Tashkent Botanical Garden
Get PDFIn the context of increasing aridization of lands in Central Asia, caused by global climate change, it is necessary to actively select plants that are resistant to water deficiency. One such species is the Goji medicinal shrub (L. chinense Mill. and L. barbarum L.). Goji exhibits high adaptability to various climatic conditions, especially dry ones. Its ability to grow in low-moisture conditions makes it a valuable resource in regions with limited access to water. This research plays a key role in creating sustainable and efficient approaches to agriculture in the face of a changing climate and a deteriorating environment
New Strategies In The Treatment Of Hip Fractures In Patients With Combined Injuries
Get PDFThis article is a study aimed at analyzing and improving the results of surgical treatment of patients with hip fractures in concomitant injuries using modern technologies. Within the framework of the study, the results of treatment of 233 patients with concomitant hip injuries were analyzed, a surgical method - osteosynthesis was used. early period of a traumatic disease. The results of the study made it possible to determine the optimal methods of fixation depending on the patient's condition. The findings of this study are important for improving the results of surgical treatment of patients with concomitant hip injuries and can be used in practical medicine to optimize treatment tactics and reduce complication

The Choice of Surgical Tactics in The Treatment Of Recurrent Goiter Diving for The Trachea
Get PDFAccording to the review article, there have been 52 occurrences of complications observed in the postoperative period following 478 strumectomies conducted over the last decade. These complications primarily involve the trachea and stem from the complex surgical procedure of modifying the thyroid in the presence of nodules or cysts. It is important to note that these complications often exhibit a recurring nature. Significant focus is given to delineating the procedure's technique, concurrently emphasizing the significance of considering the relevant anatomical characteristics of the neck when mobilizing the thyroid gland. It is crucial to recognize the importance of attending to essential aspects during the separation of each layer. Measures taken to avoid injuries to neighboring organs due to complications that may occur during surgery are described in detail. Detailed explanations are provided to patients regarding the procedures and recommendations to be followed during the postoperative period. The report encompasses essential information including conclusions and key recommendations pertaining to thyroid gland, recurrent laryngeal nerve, and thyroid surgery
