Study design: Retrospective, non-randomised, single-centre study. Objectives: Comparative study of urodynamic tests in patients presenting social continence after AMS 800 or ZSI 375 insertion. Materials and methods: Study was open to patients with social continence, implanted with AMS 800 or ZSI 375. Vesical pressure (VP), urethral functional length (FL), maximal urethral pressure (MUP), maximal urethral closure pressure (MUCP), maximal urinary flow rate (Qmax) were registered with standard urodynamic equipment. Results: From March 2012 to September 2014, 27 male patients with AMS 800 and 28 with ZSI 375 were recruited. In the AMS 800 group mean VP was 25.03 cmH2O (range 13-47), mean FL 31.96 mm (range 20-52), mean MUCP 88.29 cmH2O (range 32-160), mean MUP 119.55 cmH2O (range 77-180), mean Qmax 22.86 mL/s (range 5.6-54.6). In the ZSI 375 group, mean VP was 24.89 cmH2O (range 6-40), mean FL 30.53 mm (range 12-87), mean MUCP 70.11 cmH2O (range 38-108), mean MUP 99.89 cm H2O (range 63-134), and mean Qmax 19.25 mL/s range (7.3-39.6). Discussion: Results of urodynamic tests are similar for both artificial urinary sphincters. AMS 800 cuff pressure over 70 cmH2O could be explained by the pelvis pressure and the difference of altitude between the pressure-regulating balloon (PRB) and the cuff. ZSI 375 pressure-regulating tank (PRT) is not influenced by these factors. Very high MUP could be explained with too tightened cuffs. Conclusions: AMS 800 and ZSI 375 urodynamic tests are similar. Pressure of the pelvis and difference of altitude between the AMS balloon and the cuff can lead to high MUP.

Introduction This single centre study retrospectively analysed the intraoperative findings relative to source of referral for emergency scrotal explorations performed in a tertiary level paediatric surgery department. Methods All patients who underwent emergency scrotal exploration under the care of paediatric surgeons in our unit between April 2008 and April 2016 were identified. Clinical data were obtained from contemporaneous records. Results Over the 8-year study period, 662 boys underwent emergency scrotal exploration: 6 (1%) were internal referrals, 294 (44%) attended our emergency department (ED) directly, 271 (41%) were referred from primary care and 91 (14%) were transferred from other hospitals. Excluding procedures in neonates, testicular torsion was present in 100 cases (15%). Testicular detorsion with bilateral 3-point testicular fixation was performed in 66 (66%) and orchidectomy with contralateral fixation in 34 (34%) where the torted testis was non-viable intraoperatively. The orchidectomy rate in the presence of torsion was 23% in ED referrals (12/52), 43% in primary care referrals (12/28) and 50% for transfers (10/20). The difference in rates between ED referrals and patients transferred from other hospitals was significant (p=0.026). There was no significant difference in median age between any of the groups (p=0.10). Conclusions Boys undergoing emergency scrotal exploration had a higher orchidectomy rate when transferred from other hospitals to our unit. This difference was statistically significant when compared with boys presenting directly to our ED. This supports advice from The Royal College of Surgeons of England for undertaking paediatric scrotal explorations in the presenting hospital when safe to do so rather than delaying the care of these patients by transferring them to a tertiary paediatric surgical unit.

Distal Hypospadias

To assess the consequence of tubularized incised plate urethroplasty on primary hypospadias repair. Total of 42 male patients underwent hypospadias repair in AL-Diwaniyah Teaching Hospital/Iraq. from April 2016 to April 2018. The levels of the hypospadias defect, age at operation, type of sutures and dressing, type of catheter and time of removal and complications were verified. Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty done for all patients and mean patients age at operation was 4.4 years (range 1 year to 8year). Postoperative follow up was 1 to 3 months. Generally, meatal stenosis, dehiscence due to infection and an urethrocutaneous fistula occurred in 3,2and 6 patients, respectively. T.I.P. urethroplasty has come to be the favourite surgical procedure of distal hypospadias cases at our hospital. The technique has a small number of complications in addition to prove success and adaptability that continue to increase its application.

The Difference

SummaryThe size, total protein, fibrinogen and 5-HT content were evaluated in density subpopulations of human and canine platelets fractionated in linear arabinogalactan gradients. The methodology was assessed to ascertain that platelet separation was by density and to discard artifactual changes and platelet release during the procedure. EDTA or PGEi increased the size of human PRP-platelets, but not of dog platelets. In humans, high density (HD) platelets were 1.26 times larger and contained 1.88 times more fibrinogen, 2.23 times more 5-HT and 1.37 times more protein than low density (LD) platelets; in dogs, these density cohorts did not differ in protein content, but LD platelets were 1.29 times larger and had 1.33 times more fibrinogen and 5-HT than HD platelets. These findings suggest that cell density is mostly dependent on the protein content per unit volume of platelets (and not on dense bodies). The differences in fibrinogen and 5-HT content between HD and LD cohorts in humans and dogs may be related to platelet age. The difference in volume between HD and LD platelets in dogs is of uncertain interpretation.

The Comparative Study

Abstract: This research is a comparative literary study that uses Malay and Javanese versions of Mahabarata text sources. The research objects used were the text edition of Pandhawa Gubah (PG) by Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto and the text of Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) by Khalid Hussain. The research method used is descriptive-analysis method. In the comparative study used a comparative literary theory proposed by Endraswara (2011). The results of the text comparison reveal the similarities and differences in the image of Bima figures in the Javanese and Malay versions. The equation as a whole is that both texts contain the same heroic storyline and heroic character, Bima. In addition, Indian influence is still evident in the two texts seen from the nuances of Hinduism that exist in both texts. While the difference is seen in the events that accompany Bima's struggle in achieving his victory. Based on these similarities and differences, it can be seen that the authors attempt to represent the concept of metaphysical interactions vertically and horizontally expressed through PG text. --- Abstrak: Penelitian ini adalah satu kajian sastra bandingan yang menggunakan sumber teks Mahabarata versi Melayu dan Jawa. Objek penelitian yang digunakan adalah edisi teks Pandhawa Gubah (PG) karya Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto dan teks Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) karya Khalid Hussain. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif-analisis. Dalam telaah perbandingan digunakan teori sastra bandingan yang dikemukakan Endraswara (2011). Hasil perbandingan teks mengungkapkan adanya persamaan dan perbedaan citra tokoh Bima dalam versi Jawa maupun versi Melayu. Persamaan secara keseluruhan adalah kedua teks tersebut mengandung alur cerita kepahlawanan dan tokoh pahlawan yang sama yaitu Bima. Selain itu, pengaruh India masih tampak dalam kedua teks tersebut dilihat dari nuansa Hinduisme yang ada dalam kedua teks. Sementara perbedaannya tampak pada peristiwa-peristiwa yang menyertai perjuangan Bima dalam mencapai kemenangannya. Berdasarkan persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut tampak adanya upaya penulis untuk merepresentasikan konsep interaksi metafisik secara vertikal dan horizontal yang diungkapkan melalui teks PG.
