Summary
Urinary tract calculi were the most common finding on intravenous urography (IVU) in a tertiary center. This suggests urolithiasis is a primary reason for performing IVU examinations.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Urology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Intravenous urography (IVU) is a diagnostic imaging technique.
- Understanding IVU findings is crucial for diagnosing urinary tract conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the findings of intravenous urography (IVU) in a tertiary reference center.
- To identify the most common indications and abnormalities detected via IVU.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective, observational study of 1,470 patients undergoing IVU from 2008-2012.
- Analysis of radiology reports, including patient demographics and IVU findings.
- Review of urinary tract calculi and hydronephrosis prevalence.
Main Results:
- Abnormal IVU findings were present in 68.8% of patients.
- Urinary tract calculi were the most frequent finding (36.8%), predominantly in the kidney.
- Hydronephrosis was the second most common finding (29.7%).
Conclusions:
- Urinary tract calculi represent the most frequent IVU finding.
- Urolithiasis is likely the primary indication for IVU examinations.
- IVU remains a valuable tool for diagnosing urinary tract pathologies.

4.4K
The center of gravity of a body is an imaginary point where the body's total weight is assumed to be concentrated, and the body is perfectly balanced. The center of the mass of a body is a point at which the whole of the mass of the body appears to be concentrated. If the acceleration due to gravity, g, has the same value at all points on a body, its center of gravity is identical to its center of mass. The center of gravity of homogeneous bodies such as a sphere, cube, or rectangular plate...

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

01:12Nomenclature of Secondary and Tertiary Amines
5.2K
The secondary and tertiary amines are derivatives of ammonia, where two and three of its hydrogens are replaced by alkyl groups, respectively. Secondary and tertiary amines can be symmetrical with identical alkyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom or unsymmetrical when more than one type of alkyl group is present. The standard nomenclature of secondary and tertiary amines is similar to the names given to the primary amines. They are generally named alkylamines. As depicted in Figure 1, for...

11.7K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

01:03Inertial Frames of Reference
8.8K
Newton’s first law is usually considered to be a statement about reference frames. It provides a method for identifying a special type of reference frame: the inertial reference frame. In principle, we can make the net force on a body zero. If its velocity relative to a given frame is constant, then that frame is said to be inertial. So, by definition, an inertial reference frame is a reference frame where Newton's first law holds valid. Newton's first law applies to objects with...
