Urethral and bladder injuries can occur from pelvic fractures or direct trauma. Posterior urethral injuries commonly occur from shearing forces in pelvic fractures and require initial suprapubic cystostomy with delayed repair to avoid complications. Anterior urethral injuries from straddle injuries may be contusions or lacerations, treated with catheterization or cystostomy depending on severity. Bladder injuries are often extraperitoneal from pelvic fractures and present as hematuria, diagnosed by cystography or CT cystography and treated with catheter drainage. Intraperitoneal bladder injuries require surgery.

DJ Stenting or Percutaneous nephrostomy(PCN) in acute pyelonephritisGAURAV NAHAR
1. A 35-year-old female presented with left loin pain, fever, vomiting, and dysuria for 7 days and was diagnosed with acute pyelonephritis of the left kidney based on investigations.
2. Initially, a left double J stent was placed but her symptoms persisted, so a left percutaneous nephrostomy was performed which led to significant improvement.
3. For acute pyelonephritis, a double J stent or percutaneous nephrostomy may be used for drainage but percutaneous nephrostomy is preferred if symptoms do not resolve with stenting due to more effective drainage of an obstructed system.
1) Botulinum toxin A (Btx-A) injection into the bulbospongiosus muscle (BSM) was found to significantly lengthen the latency time to ejaculation in rats compared to placebo, suggesting Btx-A may be an effective treatment for premature ejaculation (PE) in humans.
2) A clinical trial was proposed to study Btx-A injection for lifelong PE but was declined by Allergan due to concerns about supporting an unlicensed use of their product.
3) Further research is still needed but Btx-A injection shows promise as a treatment for PE that may avoid the side effects of current options like topical anesthetics or antidepressants.
Normally, the kidneys remove waste from the blood to produce urine (pee). When there is too much waste in the blood and the body does not produce enough urine, crystals begin to form in the kidneys. These crystals attract other debris and chemicals. form a solid object (a kidney stone) that increases in size unless it is passed out of the body through the urine.
Kidney Stones Causes, Symptoms and treatment options.pptxSaket Narnoli
Kidney stones, often caused by diet and dehydration, lead to intense pain, blood in urine, and urinary issues. Treatment varies from hydration and pain relief to surgical procedures.
This document provides information about kidney stones, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. Kidney stones, also known as nephrolithiasis, form when minerals in urine crystallize and cannot be passed by the kidney. Symptoms include severe pain in the back and sides, blood in the urine, and nausea. Diagnosis involves tests of urine and imaging like ultrasounds and X-rays. Treatment depends on stone size and location but may include shock wave lithotripsy to break stones into smaller pieces, percutaneous nephrolithotomy for large or complex stones, and ureteroscopic lithotripsy using lasers for stones in the ureters.
Kidney stones form when crystals separate from urine and stick together inside the kidney or urinary tract. They can cause severe pain and blood in the urine. Risk factors include dehydration, family history, and medical conditions. Symptoms include intense pain in the back or side and blood in the urine. Diagnosis is usually done with a CT scan. Small stones often pass on their own but larger ones may require lithotripsy or surgery to break up the stones. Drinking plenty of water can help prevent kidney stones from forming.

Uric acid stones form when urine is acidic. Struvite stones often form due to urinary tract infections, and can grow quite large. Cystine stones occur in people with a rare genetic disorder. Kidney stones are diagnosed through physical exams, blood and urine tests, and imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans. Treatment involves increasing fluid intake, using medication to prevent stone formation, or surgical procedures like ESWL to break up stones.
Kidneys remove waste and excess fluid from the body while maintaining water, salt, and mineral balances. Kidney stones, or renal calculi, are hard mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys. They have several causes including diet, excess weight, medical conditions, and supplements/medications. Common types are calcium oxalate stones, uric acid stones, and struvite stones caused by infections. Symptoms include pain, vomiting, fever, blood in urine, and frequent urination. Tests like X-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, blood tests, and urine tests can detect and diagnose kidney stones. Treatments include medications, surgeries like ureteroscopy and shockwave lith
Urinary stones, also known as kidney stones, form when minerals in urine crystallize and accumulate. Approximately 1 in 20 people will develop a kidney stone at some point. Men are more likely to develop stones than women, and risk increases from age 40-70. Stones can cause severe pain and block the urinary tract. Diagnosis involves imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scans. Treatment depends on the stone size and location, ranging from increased fluid intake to shockwave lithotripsy or surgery. Prevention focuses on dietary changes and medications to reduce stone-forming substances in urine.
Kidney stones are hard masses that form from crystals in the urine within the urinary tract. They are very painful when they block the flow of urine. The document discusses kidney stones, including who gets them, what causes them, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options.
