Encrustation constitutes a serious complication of ureteral stent use and can result in difficult stent removal. We report the case of a patient with a retained ureteral stent for 3 years following a radical cystectomy.

Ureteral stents are widely used in the department of urology, while the stent could result in many stent-associated complications, such as encrustation, a forgotten stent and patient discomfort. Thus, we developed a novel gradient degradable ureteral stent, which could degrade gradient in vivo, and assessed its effectiveness of the drainage, degradation and biocompatibility in a beagle dog model. In the present study, the degradation time and cytotoxicity were investigated in vitro. And the beagle dogs were inserted with a degradable stent or a biostable stent, and blood studies, liver function tests, renal function tests, urine studies, X-ray, excretory urograms and computerized tomography were performed at immediately, two weeks, four weeks and six weeks postoperative. The results showed that the drainage of the novel stent is similar to the conventional stent, while the biocompatibility and antibacterial ability of the novel stents are better than the conventional stents. The stents we developed provide an alternative for urologists and more assays would be performed in detail to assess the property of the stents.

Purpose This exploratory study describes the emergent literacy skills of children with developmental language disorder (DLD) who speak Spanish, a language with a simple phonological structure and transparent orthography. We examine differences between children with DLD and their typically developing (TD) peers on a battery of emergent literacy measures. Method Participants included 15 monolingual Spanish-speaking children with DLD (who did not present with cognitive difficulties) and 15 TD controls matched for age, gender, and socioeconomic status, ranging in age from 3;10 to 6;6 (years;months; M age = 4;11). All children completed a battery of comprehension-related emergent literacy tasks (narrative retell, print concept knowledge) and code-related emergent literacy tasks (beginning sound, rhyming awareness, alphabet knowledge, and name-writing ability). Results On average, children with DLD performed significantly worse than TD controls on a battery of comprehension- and code-related emergent literacy measures. On all code-related skills except rhyming, children with DLD were more likely than their TD peers to score “at risk.” Conclusions The results suggest some universality in the effect of DLD on reading development. Difficulties with emergent literacy that are widely documented in English-speaking children with DLD were similarly observed in Spanish-speaking children with DLD. Future research should explore long-term reading outcomes in Spanish for children with DLD.

As the Spanish-speaking population in the United States continues to grow, there is increasing need for culturally competent and linguistically appropriate treatment across the field of speech-language pathology. This paper reviews information relevant to the evaluation and treatment of Spanish-speaking and Spanish-English bilingual children with a history of cleft palate. The phonetics and phonology of Spanish are reviewed and contrasted with English, with a focus on oral pressure consonants. Cultural factors and bilingualism are discussed briefly. Finally, practical strategies for evaluation and treatment are presented. Information is presented for monolingual and bilingual speech-language pathologists, both in the community and on cleft palate teams.
