[Significance of nuchal edema in fetuses of pregnant women under 35 years of age].

The aim of this study was to survey the connection between the fetal nuchal oedema and the increased risk of the aneuploidies. According to the prenatal care the thickness of the nuchal fold was measured on the 11-12th gestational week by 6.5 MHz transvaginal transducer (ATL-HDI and Hitachi EUB-450). Cases were underlined where the presence of nuchal oedema (> or = 3 mm) made the indication for chromosomal analysis among the 280 single pregnancies and fetal karyotyping was carried out. Nuchal oedema was observed in 72/280 cases of pregnant women under 35 years old and in 20/280 cases of that above 35 years old, the nuchal oedema was another indication beside the age. Abnormal karyotype was observed in 9/72 (12.5%) cases among the pregnant women under 35 years old and in 10/92 (10.87%) cases among the pregnancies with fetal nuchal oedema. It was also observed abnormal karyotype in 6/188 (3.19%) cases of pregnancies without nuchal oedema and in 16/280 (5.71%) cases of chromosomal analyses with or without nuchal oedema. This can be an effective method for screening the fetal aneuploidies and other fetal anomalies, both in the high risk and the normal pregnant population, especially in cases of pregnant women under 35 years old belonging to the normal genetical risk population.

Isolated urethral amyloidosis (case report).

A case of urethral amyloidosis is presented in a 31-year-old male patient. Through this case, authors draw attention to the recommended forms of examination in the event of this illness being suspected, and also discuss problems in differential diagnosis. A reviewed the relevant data in the literature is also provided.

[Limb-body wall malformation complex: an unusual developmental abnormality of the abdominal wall. Case report, clinicopathological and etiological implications].

Anterior abdominal wall defects are not too rare between developmental abnormalities. A case of abdominal wall defect associated with complex malformations diagnosed prenatally is reported in the paper. In the present case of limb-body wall complex a right sided abdominoschisis was associated with rotational abnormality of the lower limbs, clubfoot, scoliosis, meningomyelocele, lack of developed pelvic organs, consecutive dilatation of the upper urinary tract, anal atresia, lack of external genitalia, lack of diaphragm and hypoplastic lungs. Review of the pertinent literature has revealed over 100 cases that clearly indicate the possible phenotypic variation of the limb-body wall complex. These data add further evidence to support the existence of two different phenotypes and possibly pathogenesis under the heading of limb-body wall complex. The three principal theories on the possible aetiology of the complex are also discussed. Because the limb-body wall complex is incompatible with life, it is important to diagnose the lesions prenatally, and to differentiate them from other anterior abdominal wall defects. Serum alpha-fetoprotein measurement, and ultrasonographic examination are the key to prenatal diagnosis.

[Use of sodium diclofenac in acute renal colic].

31 patients with symptoms of acute renal colic were treated with diclofenac natrium. According to preliminary results this drug is more effective for relieving pain of acute renal colic than the traditional combination of spasmolytics and analgetics. This might be due to the blocking effect of diclofenac natrium on the renal PG synthesis and release, thus decreasing the diuresis. Side effects were minimal, as nausea, vomiting etc. Authors highly recommend this drug as the first choice of treatment in acute renal colic.

The role of Melipramine in the treatment of bladder instability.

Observations with Melipramine (imipramine) coated tablet used in the treatment of bladder instability are reported. The patients were selected on the basis of urodynamic examinations. Five men and 45 women were treated for 2 and 4 weeks. The patients recorded the number of urinations and urgency as well as the quantity of voided urine. The effectivity of treatment was controlled by urodynamic examinations. Melipramine (3 x 2 coated tablet) given in 60-mg daily doses, favourably influenced the symptoms. The effectivity of treatment reached 90% in the selected patients. Side-effects developed in 5 cases: in 3 patients the treatment had to be discontinued because of palpitation, feeling weakness. According to the authors' opinion Melipramine is a useful therapeutic means in the treatment of bladder instability.

[Double kidney and ureterocele associated with kidney calculi].

The simultaneous occurrence of infrequent alterations--double kidney, ureterocele and calculi--is reported. Following the operation performed in 2 steps the patient became free of complaints and according to the repeated controls the dilatation of the efferent system regressed, no reflux was observed.

Pre- and postoperative examinations in intestinal tumours of the pelvis.

Pre- and postoperative urological and lower urinary tract urodynamic studies were made in patients operated for intestinal tumours of the pelvis. It was established that urological complications often arise and they often escape detection during the examination or under the conventional surgical care. An examination and a control scheme is recommended for the early detection of the possible complications and for starting an adequate treatment in due time.

[Distension treatment of the urinary bladder].

Three patients were treated with hydrostatic pressure therapy (bladder distension) for different pathology, two with success, and one without effect. On the basis of preliminary results authors suggest the procedure in selected cases.

[Gestonorone therapy of prostatic adenoma].

Clinical trials with gestonorone led to favourable results in 65% of the patients. The drug is recommended particularly to patients in stage I or II of prostatic adenoma. It is justified to prescribe this treatment to high risk patients who cannot be operated because of their serious conditions. An objective assessment of the effect of the drug was possible by means of urodynamic and ultrasound tests which detected also fewer latent changes suggesting a continuation or repetition of the treatment.

[Our experiences with uroflowmetry].

The uroflowmetry is an essential part of the complex urodynamic examinations. One of its advantages is the non-invasive behaviour; the patient does not suffer any inconveniences. It is suitable for the evaluation of the success in surgical interventions due to obstructions in the lower urinary tracts, for control of results of the medicamentous therapy or after operative procedures, which have as their purpose the improvement of the function of the detrusor and for the general differentiation of diseases which are accompanied by dysuric symptoms. The technique renders possible the registration, the preservation of date and means an unlimited repeatable methody.
