Ureters01:22

Ureters

557
The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra

126
The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System I: Kidneys and Ureters

40
The upper urinary system comprises two kidneys and two ureters, which are crucial in filtering blood and forming urine.KidneysLocation and Structure:The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs positioned behind the peritoneum on either side of the spine.Kidneys are between the 12th thoracic (T12) and the 3rd lumbar (L3) vertebrae.The position of the liver causes the right kidney to sit slightly lower than the left.Protective Layers:Each kidney is enveloped in a tough, fibrous membrane called the...

Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry

83
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

25
Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Urinary Tract Calculi III: Medical Management

9
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)...

Area of Science:

  • Social Media in Medicine
  • Urology Academic Programs
  • Digital Communication Strategies

Background:

  • Twitter is a widely used social media platform with significant potential for the urological community.
  • Benefits include knowledge dissemination, inter-institutional communication, conference amplification, and public engagement.
  • The utilization of Twitter by academic urology programs remains largely unexamined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current presence and activity of Twitter accounts among United States urology residency programs.
  • To analyze the growth and engagement metrics of these academic urology Twitter accounts.
  • To explore the relationship between Twitter presence and program ranking, as well as conference hashtag activity.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive audit of institutional Twitter accounts for all United States urology residency programs was conducted.
  • Account activity, follower counts, and engagement metrics were tracked over a six-month period.
  • Statistical analyses, including chi-square and Pearson correlation, were used to evaluate geographic distribution, account activity, and correlation with U.S. News and World Report rankings.

Main Results:

  • Only 30% of urology residency programs maintain a Twitter account, with a median of 58 tweets and 154 followers.
  • Active accounts demonstrated substantial growth, with a 161% increase in tweets and a 148% increase in followers over six months.
  • No significant correlation was found between Twitter presence and U.S. News and World Report rankings, while conference hashtag activity showed a consistent annual increase.

Conclusions:

  • A small fraction of academic urology programs actively utilize Twitter.
  • Despite low initial adoption, active accounts exhibit significant growth in engagement and activity.
  • Twitter is emerging as a vital communication platform for urologists and public outreach in the field.
