概括
尿管膀放射 (KUB) 在患有膀和肠道功能障碍 (BBD) 的儿童中对便秘的诊断价值有限. 超声波上的直肠直径是一种可行的,无辐射的替代方案,用于评估儿科患者的便负担.
科学领域:
- 儿科泌尿外科 儿科泌尿外科
- 诊断成像 诊断成像 诊断成像
- 胃肠病学 胃肠病学
背景情况:
- 尿管膀放射 (KUB) 经常用于评估患有膀和肠道功能障碍 (BBD) 的儿童的便秘.
- 由于儿童的辐射暴露,特别是那些需要重复成像的儿童,人们对常规KUB使用存在担忧.
- 支持KUB对BBD的常规诊断实用性的证据是可变的.
研究的目的:
- 评估KUB在患有BBD的儿童的诊断效用.
- 将KUB的有效性与四种经过验证的仪器进行比较:功能障碍排便症状得分 (DVSS),罗马IV标准,超声波上的直肠直径 (RD) 和布里斯托尔便形式得分 (BSFS).
主要方法:
- 有BBD症状的儿科患者的潜在招生.
- 在KUB上评估便负担的严重程度,在超声波上评估RD,DVSS,罗马IV标准和BSFS.
- 两变量和多变量回归分析以确定与KUB发现的预测关联.
主要成果:
- 超声波 (RD) 上的直肠直径被发现可以预测KUB上重要的便负担 (p=0.03).
- 没有其他个人诊断测试能够预测KUB便负担.
- 多变量分析表明,评估的测试组合没有预测KUB发现.
结论:
- 超声波上的直肠直径可以作为KUB的非辐射替代品,用于评估BBD儿童的便负担.
- KUB在诊断BBD方面发挥的作用有限.
- 症状评分 (DVSS,Rome IV,BSFS) 应独立地用于BBD的诊断和治疗监测.

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

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...

Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination
25
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

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. Intravenous Urography (IVU)Intravenous...

The nursing assessment of the genitourinary (GU) system involves a systematic inspection and palpation to identify abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.InspectionMouth: Inspect for signs of kidney dysfunction, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and ammonia breath, which may occur in advanced kidney disease due to the buildup of urea, breaking down into ammonia.Skin: Check for pallor, which could indicate anemia caused by kidney disease. Look for...
