13. The added value of non-contrast 3-Tesla MRI for the pre-operative localization of hyperparathyroidism
Abstract Objective: We investigated the efficacy of non-contrast 3-Tesla MR imaging added to the combination of sestamibi with99mTc (MIBI) scintigraphy and Ultrasonography (US) for the pre-operative localization of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) lesions. Methods: A total of 34 parathyroid glands, including nine normal glands, were examined with MIBI, U

14. Evaluating TIMP-2 and IGFBP-7 as a predictive tool for kidney injury in ureteropelvic junction obstruction
ABSTRACT A major challenge in the management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is the selection of patients who would benefit from surgical treatment. Tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) indicate renal cell stress and are associated with cell cycle arrest. The [TIMP-2] [IGFBP7] ra

16. Could urinary nerve growth factor and bladder wall thickness predict the treatment outcome of children with overactive bladder?
ABSTRACT Objective: Bladder wall thickness (BWTh) measurements and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) /creatinine (Cr) values, as noninvasive tools, were found to predict daytime voiding problems in children with overactive bladder (OAB). The goal of this research was to examine if bladder wall thickness together with urine NGF/Cr could be a clinical utility in trea

17. RE: Impact of COVID-19 on a urology residency program
ABSTRACT Introduction: Ureteroceles present a diagnostic and treatment challenge in adults (1). With an estimated prevalence of 1/500 to 1/4000, it is not uncommon for any urologist to encounter ureteroceles in clinical practice (2). The incidence of prolapsed ureteroceles in adults is unknown (3). Materials and Methods: We present an interesting case of a

19. Associations between Gilbert’s syndrome and personality characteristics
Abstract Objective Gilbert’s syndrome (GS) is a benign genetic disorder that is characterized by intermittent mild jaundice in which the liver doesn’t process bilirubin properly. The aim of this study was to determine whether GS patients have a different personality structure and if there are associations between properties of temperament and character

20. Usefulness of high-frequency ultrasonography in the diagnosis of odontogenic cutaneous fistula,
Abstract Background: The pathophysiology of urticaria is still poorly understood. Recent studies demonstrate that the activation of coagulation is correlated with the clinical activity of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria. Coagulation and inflammation are strongly linked. Objectives: To correlate the severity and activity of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria with

21. Hypoadiponectinemia as a marker of increased cardiovascular risk in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: correlation with albumin/creatinine ratio
ABSTRACT Objective: We assessed plasma adiponectin and its correlation with carotid intima-media-thickness (CIMT), as a marker of atherosclerosis, and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Subjects and methods: The study included 100 Egyptian subjects (50 patients with NAFLD with no history of diab

22. Pure neural leprosy or amyloid neuropathy? Systematic review and clinical case report
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To review the literature and to report a clinical case with initial suspicion of pure neural leprosy and final diagnosis of amyloid neuropathy. METHODS: The study was conducted in two stages. In stage one, a systematic literature review was carried out, with searches performed in the PubMed, Medline, and Lilacs databases, as well as in t

23. Role of elastography strain ratio and TIRADS score in predicting malignant thyroid nodule
ABSTRACT Objective: Ultrasonography (US) is the most accurate and cost-effective imaging method in diagnosis of thyroid nodules. A practical thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TIRADS) for thyroid nodules has been proposed to classify nodules of the thyroid gland to solve the problem of nodule selection for fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC).

24. Prevenção de náusea e vômito no pós-operatório: novos pontos de vista no cuidado do paciente
ABSTRACT Objective Graves’ disease (GD) is the main cause of hyperthyroidism among adults. It is an autoimmune condition classically marked by the Merserburg Triad (goiter, thyrotoxicosis, and orbitopathy), but the change in presentation of GD over time has rarely been studied. To determine changes in the clinical presentation of patients with GD in the
