Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

23
Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Urinary Tract Calculi III: Medical Management

22
The diagnosis of renal calculi involves several imaging techniques, including non-contrast CT scans and ultrasound. These methods help visualize kidney stones, assess their size and location, and detect possible obstructions. Additionally, Measuring urine pH is useful for diagnosing specific stone types, such as struvite (alkaline pH) and uric acid stones (acidic pH). Cystine stones are primarily linked to cystinuria, a genetic condition. A urinalysis helps detect blood in the urine (hematuria)...

Urinary Tract Calculi IV: Nutrition Therapy and Prevention

25
Management of renal calculi focuses on effective strategies like tailored nutrition and hydration therapy. Adjusting diet and fluid intake reduces stone formation and recurrence, making these interventions simple yet powerful in kidney stone prevention and management.Understanding Kidney StonesKidney stones form when calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and cystine concentrate and crystallize in urine. Factors contributing to their formation include genetic predisposition, certain medical conditions,...

AssessmentSubjective Data: Obtain a detailed health history, including any recent or chronic urinary tract infections, periods of immobilization, previous episodes of renal calculi, and medical conditions such as gout, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or hyperparathyroidism. Review the medication history for drugs that may influence stone formation, including allopurinol, analgesics, loop diuretics, or thiazide diuretics. Document the use of long-term indwelling catheters and any past surgical...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System VI: Calcium -Scoring CT

Calcium-Scoring CT ScanA calcium-scoring CT scan, also known as coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan, detects calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. This test assesses the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), which can lead to cardiovascular events such as angina, heart failure, and sudden cardiac arrest.A calcium-scoring CT scan is generally recommended for individuals at intermediate risk of CAD without symptoms. It includes:Men aged 40-75 and women aged 50-75: Especially those with a...

Urinary Tract Calculi I: Introduction

37
Renal calculi, or kidney stones, are solid deposits of minerals and salts formed inside the kidneys. In medical terminology, "calculus" refers to the stone itself, while "lithiasis" describes the process of stone formation. Depending on their location within the urinary system, these stones may be classified as either urolithiasis, when situated within the urinary tract, or nephrolithiasis, when located within the kidneys. Each term signifies the specific impact of the stone.Predisposition...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Interventions
  • Medical Device Technology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Arterial calcification (AC) complicates peripheral arterial disease (PAD) treatment, increasing risks like vessel rupture and hindering angioplasty.
  • AC acts as a physical barrier, impeding effective drug delivery and treatment via traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a technical overview of Shockwave Intravascular Lithotripsy (S-IVL).
  • To present a case series evaluating S-IVL for treating arterial calcification in various lower limb arteries.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized S-IVL, a device emitting sonic pressure waves to fracture calcified lesions.
  • Applied S-IVL to treat AC in common iliac, common femoral, superficial femoral, aortoiliac, and peroneal arteries.

Main Results:

  • All treated cases demonstrated significant improvement in luminal patency.
  • S-IVL successfully increased arterial compliance by creating microfractures in calcified lesions.

Conclusions:

  • S-IVL is a safe and effective treatment for arterial calcification in PAD.
  • The technology shows promise in overcoming challenges associated with AC in complex PAD lesions.
