A 25-year-old man with occult ureteropelvic obstruction presented with abdominal pain 3 h following blunt abdominal trauma. Isolated rupture of the right renal pelvis was promptly diagnosed and the patient underwent immediate pyeloplasty according to the Anderson-Hynes procedure. The patient made an uneventful recovery. One year after surgery, renal function was satisfactory.
Perennial adventitious species Asclepias syriaca L. which originates from
Northern America is spread across Serbia, and especially Vojvodina, along the
banks of waterways and borders of floodplain forests. Based on floristic and
phytocenological studies in Backa, the presence of ass. Asclepiadetum
syriacae L?nikov? in Chytr? 2009 stands, in which A. syriaca is present with
the highest degree of presence (V) and with substantial covering value
(2850), can be confirmed. The study shows ecological analysis of stands of
mentioned association for basic environmental factors (moisture - F, reaction
- R, nutrients - N, humus - H, aeration - D, light - L, temperature - T, and
continentality - K) based on floristic composition of stands and their
ecological indices, considering population and every species coverage in a
stand. Given that a combined scale for population and coverage of species in
stands, along numerical, has descriptive marks, modification of evaluated
values according to Westhoff & van der Maarel scale which is completely
numerical was conducted, which enabled data processing. The obtained results
of the ecological analysis point to favorable ecological conditions for
development of stands of this association, which can help predict the
possible directions of spread of this invasive species.
Introduction. In recent years, there has been a growing global trend in the number of people with pathogens of sexually transmitted infections. There is a worldwide lack of data on the prevalence and incidence of sexually transmitted infections in the general population, especially among the high school students. Material and Methods. We conducted a cross sectional study on attitudes and knowledge of young people about sexually transmitted infections. The survey population included young people aged 14 to 20 years attending a high school in the city of Novi Sad. The data were collected through a questionnaire. Results. The percentage of students with signs and symptoms of sexually transmitted infections was higher among the students who did not use a condom during the last sexual intercourse compared to the students who used a condom. Conclusion. Young people engaging in risky sexual behavior showed better knowledge about sexually transmitted infections in comparison to young people who did not engage in risky sexual behavior.
Rigid ureteroscope is a therapeutic option for distal ureteral stones, just as ESWL with comparable and reproducible results. This case confirms the fact that in strictly selected cases, and careful work of skilled urologists, rigid ureteroscope can be used for successful stone destruction in the middle and upper ureter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
