[Disability in childhood. Care and professional training regarding particularly the problems currently seen in long-term control of newborns at risk].

Children with disability are a heterogeneous population distributed between complex conditions including physical disorders, psychomotor and neurodevelopment disorders, social role and school activities limitations. Prenatal, perinatal and neonatal diseases together with disabling chronic conditions may cause childhood disability. Data from literature show a prevalence of childhood disability ranging from 5 to 20% with a wide range of severity level. The social impact of childhood disability is extremely relevant. Children with disabilities frequently require health care services and special education. VLBW (very low birth weight infants, birth weight <1500 gr) have major disabilities (10-15%) while minor disabilities can be found in 20-25% of these subjects. The first step stays in medical prevention but also an oriented training toward these problems for doctors both in pre and post-graduate formation can play a significant role. Support of society in order to understand the complexity and heterogeneity of childhood disability, through social care services, is mandatory. These measures, apparently costly, if correctly done, will be helpful for both the individual subject and the whole society, through a reduction of the disability problems and the final economy cost impact.

[Urography with non-ionic contrast media. Multicenter experience on the optimization of the technic].

The authors report the results of a multicentric experience based on 1200 urograms performed with nonionic contrast medium. The global diagnostic reliability is evaluated, together with the specific reliability for kidneys, ureters, and bladder, according to the various pathologies. The eventual need of radiographs of completion is showed. In searching for an optimization of the technique for nonionic contrast medium, a panoramic radiograph performed 10' after the end of the injection is pointed out as the key-moment of the test, being extremely rich in information, so as to help defining the most appropriate technique to continue the examination. For its excellent tolerability and high reliability, the nonionic contrast medium is recommended also in routine IVP, not only in risk patients.

[Ureteral duplication and anomalous symptomatology. Presentation of a case].

The authors report a case of unilateral ureteral duplication with extravesical ureteral orifice evaluated with sonography and confirmed by surgery. The peculiarity of the case is founded on the anomalous clinical findings with poorly significant uroculture and the apparent discrepancy between sonographic and urographic finding. The important rule of sonographic evaluation in early diagnosis of kidney malformations is confirmed.
