there was no palpable mass. Thedigital rectal examinationfound stool with blood. The rest of the physical examination was normal. Abdominal ultrasound showed a fusiform gallbladder with cholesterolic polyps. The thoracic and abdominopelvic computerized tomography (CT) scan found an irregular thickening...
An abdominal ultrasound is not sufficient for ruling out tumors of theupper urinary tract.4At this time, urinecytologyis not indicated for the initial workup of asymptomatic microscopic hematuria, as it has low sensitivity for all bladder cancer. However, urine cytology may be used in surveillance...
Deep learning models were trained on multimodal imaging data, such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound, to enhance segmentation accuracy. This strategy combines complementing data from different imaging modalities to provide a more thorough view of the tumor’s characteristics and surroundings. Deep learning mo...
nanobots can effectively treat bladder tumours in confined spaces, presenting an alternative treatment for scenarios where traditional therapeutic approaches, such as BCG, routinely fail. Overall, these results provide clear evidence of the potential use of urease-powered nanobots as efficient therapeutic ...
This condition results in cyclic hematuria that is more prominent at menstruation. Ultrasound, CT, and MRI may be helpful in showing a mural mass protruding into the bladder, typically near the dome (blue dome cyst), as a direct extension of an extrauterine endometrial mass (Fig. 15.14). ...
All patients underwent full physical examination, as well as renal and bladder ultrasound including prostate size estimation, post void residual volume, and PSA, and they completed the International Prostate Symptoms Score (IPSS) questionnaire. The cohort was divided into obstructed and un-obstructed ...
The initial ultrasound indicated no stones, but sludge. After the surgery, the surgeon explained that she had a white webbing around the gall bladder, which is a symptom of infection and the body was trying to isolate the gall bladder from the rest of the body: porcelain gallbladder. Best ...
Meanwhile, age- and sex-matched subjects who were ruled out for the presence of urological malignancies or other alterations by ultrasound scan were recruited into the Control group. Routine blood tests and urinalysis, including urine specific gravity, were measured by laboratory standardized methods, ...
(urolithiasis, benign prostate hyperplasia, testicular hydrocele, varicocele, phimosis, ureteropelvic junction stenosis, urinary incontinence, urethral stricture). Each of these patients has had performed at least an abdominal ultrasound to rule out neoplasms (patients with urolithiasis usually also had a...
IVP, renal ultrasound, retrograde pyelography, CT scan, and MRI. • One or a combination of studies can be used. In the absence of skeletal symptoms, bone scan is not recommended. TREATMENT NONPHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY • Initially, transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) • Loop bio...
