25. Long-term outcomes of school-based treatment for control of urinary schistosomiasis: a review of experience in Coast Province, Kenya
Urinary schistosomiasis remains a significant burden for Africa and the Middle East. The success of population-based control programs will depend on their impact, over many years, on Schistosoma haematobium reinfection and associated disease. In a multi-year (1984-1992) control program in Kenya, we examined risk for S. haematobium reinfection and late diseas

26. Urinary NO3 excretion and renal failure in indinavir-treated patients
Treatment with indinavir (IDV), a protease inhibitor, is frequently associated with renal abnormalities. We determined the incidence of renal failure (creatinine clearance <80 mL min-1 1.73 (m²)-1) in HIV patients treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy, including IDV, and investigated the possible mechanisms and risk factors of IDV nephrotoxicity

27. Anti-glomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis in an HIV positive patient: case report
We report on a case of a patient with HIV infection, diagnosed 18 months prior to the development of an anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis; this is probably the first report of such an association. A 30-year-old white man presented with elevation of serum creatinine (1.3 - 13.5 mg/dL within one month). At admi

28. Alterações clínicas, laboratoriais e eletrocardiográficas em gatos com obstrução uretral / Clinical, laboratorial, and electrocardiographyc abnormalities in cats with urethral obstruction
Urethral obstruction is a frequent complication in cats with feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD), considered a common disease in cats. Most cases are self-limiting, but the urethral obstruction causes renal failure and metabolic alterations which needs immediate treatment. Previous reports selected cats that were critically ill or had a experimental i

29. Surgical management of the neurogenic bladder and bowel
Spina bifida and myelodysplasia are associated with neurogenic abnormalities of the bladder and bowel function. All children with myelodysplasia require an evaluation of their urinary tract with ultrasound and urodynamics to confirm normal bladder and kidney function. Patients with anatomical and functional abnormalities require treatment, the mainstay being

30. Ultrasound monitoring of structural urinary tract disease in Schistosoma haematobium infection
A major advance in our understanding of the natural history of Schistosoma haematobium-related morbidity has come through the introduction of the portable ultrasound machines for non-invasive examination of the kidneys and bladder. With the use of generators or battery packs to supply power in non-clinical field settings, and with the use of instant photogra

31. Relationship between microalbuminuria and cardiac structural changes in mild hypertensive patients
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between urinary albumin excretion (UAE), cardiac structural changes upon echocardiography and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) levels. Twenty mild hypertensive patients (mean age 56.8 ± 9.6 years) were evaluated. After 2 weeks of a washout period of all antihypertensive drugs, all patients underwe

32. Hospital-associated funguria: analysis of risk factors, clinical presentation and outcome
Fungal urinary tract infections are an increasing problem in hospitalized patients. Funguria may be a result of contamination of the urine specimen, colonization of the urinary tract, or may be indicative of true invasive infection. In this study, we report the risk factors, clinical features, treatments and outcome in a group of 68 hospitalized patients (ad

33. Intestinal permeability in strongyloidiasis
The objective of the present study was to assess intestinal permeability in patients with infection caused by Strongyloides stercoralis. Twenty-six patients (16 women and 10 men), mean age 45.9, with a diagnosis of strongyloidiasis were evaluated. For comparison, 25 healthy volunteers (18 women and 7 men), mean age 44.9, without digestive disorders or intest

34. Desempenho do ultra-som pre-natal como metodo para diagnostico de cromossomopatias fetais
The objective of this study was to determine the performance of ultrasound in detecting risk pregnancies as to fetal cytogenetical abnormality. A group of 454 patients was retrospectively studied. They underwent ultra-sound and fetal karyotype over the last five years. A total of 291 women presented abnormal ultrasound and 163 presented normal ultrasound. Ul

35. Renal tubular function of workers exposed to low levels of cadmium.
Cadmium induced renal tubular effects were examined in 65 female workers in a factory manufacturing nickel cadmium batteries. Urinary beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m), urinary N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activity (NAG), and serum creatinine and serum urea concentrations were used to assess the renal effects. Of the four measures, only urinary NAG and urinary be

36. Urinary abnormalities in non gonococcal urethritis.
The association between urinary abnormalities detected by the two-glass urine test and objective urethritis was investigated in a study of 221 male patients with non-gonococcal urethritis. A strong correlation existed between urinary threads and urethritis, but use of the test for diagnosis and in the assessment of cure is limited by its poor predictive valu
