Abstract Background Rupture of the fornix is a rare and serious urological complication of obstructive pathologies. The main cause is ureteral stone, but rarely a bladder tumor. Described complications of fornix rupture are superinfection, perirenal abscesses and even sepsis, but not urinothorax. Case presentation Patient of 56 years old, active and chronic smoker, was hospitalized for anemia and obstructive renal failure on a non-documented bladder tumor; clinically, he was presented with hematuria and an intense right loin pain associated with homolateral basithoracic pain and dyspnea. The CT scan without injection showed a right perirenal collection with bilateral renal dilatation on endo-vesical tumor and a right pleural effusion of less abundance. The ratio of pleural fluid creatinine to blood creatinine was greater than 1, confirming urinothorax. As an emergency, a percutaneous nephrostomy was performed. After clinical stabilization, the patient underwent a trans-urethral resection of the bladder and derivation by a double j stent. The ultimate evolution was favorable. Conclusions Beyond the metabolic complications secondary to obstructions, mechanical complications, which can also be fatal, must be included.

Urinary Drainage

Symptomatic ureteral calculi are common. While in many cases, spontaneous passage or medical expulsive therapy (MET) can avoid the need for surgical intervention, in others intervention is required to relieve ureteral obstruction and/or remove the stone. Important indications exist for immediate or urgent intervention to assure urinary drainage or to remove obstructing ureteral calculi. In the case of infection, the consequences of failure to relieve the obstructed ureter can include severe sepsis and death. For both emergent and urgent indications for urinary drainage, a ureteral stent or percutaneous nephrostomy tube may be considered first-line options. For those patients that require intervention to fragment and remove a ureteral stone, ureteroscopy, and shock wave lithotripsy are acceptable options. This chapter will review indications and techniques for relieving ureteral obstruction and removing the ureteral stone.

Percutaneous nephrostomy catheter insertion allows the diagnosis and treatment of many pathologies from kidney failure to infection and obstruction. Vascular injuries are considered one of the complications of percutaneous interventions and are rarely seen after percutaneous nephrostomy catheter insertion. Herein, we report the first case of the successful surgical treatment of iatrogenic abdominal aortic injury after percutaneous nephrostomy catheter insertion in a 78-year-old female patient who developed hydroureteronephrosis and acute renal failure due to obstructive ureteral stone in the right proximal ureter.

Abstract Research exists that evaluates the mechanics of swallowing respiratory coordination in healthy children and adults as well and individuals with swallowing impairment. The research program summarized in this article represents a systematic examination of swallowing respiratory coordination across the lifespan as a means of behaviorally investigating mechanisms of cortical modulation. Using time-locked recordings of submental surface electromyography, nasal airflow, and thyroid acoustics, three conditions of swallowing were evaluated in 20 adults in a single session and 10 infants in 10 sessions across the first year of life. The three swallowing conditions were selected to represent a continuum of volitional through nonvolitional swallowing control on the basis of a decreasing level of cortical activation. Our primary finding is that, across the lifespan, brainstem control strongly dictates the duration of swallowing apnea and is heavily involved in organizing the integration of swallowing and respiration, even in very early infancy. However, there is evidence that cortical modulation increases across the first 12 months of life to approximate more adult-like patterns of behavior. This modulation influences primarily conditions of volitional swallowing; sleep and naïve swallows appear to not be easily adapted by cortical regulation. Thus, it is attention, not arousal that engages cortical mechanisms.
