Abstract:
Objective: To compare our experience of genitourinary injuries during the war against terrorism with the record of those in previous wars of the World. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Urology department, Combined Military Hospital Peshawar, from Jun 2011 to Aug 2014. Methodology: We treated 89 (5.6%) cases of genitourinary injuries received in our tertiary care hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The hospital was located at a distance of 2-3 hours of evacuation time by helicopter from the forward operational area. Results: The frequency of genitourinary injuries among 1589 war casualties was (5.6%). Out of these 49 (55%) were due to sniper shots and 40 (45%) due to improvised explosive device. Kidney was the most common organ injured 30 (33.7%), followed by bladder 20 (22.5%) and urethra 14 (15.7%). Majority of renal and bladder injuries were afflicted in those soldiers who were not wearing the protective jackets. Associated injuries to other organs were identified in 81% cases. Salvage of all genitourinary organs was the aim; however, nephrectomy and orchiectomy had to be performed in 30% and 50% respectively. Conclusion: Salvage of genitourinary war injuries poses a challenge to the trauma surgeon as lifesaving measures take precedence over organ preservation. Renal trauma in war was found to be the leading critical genitourinary injury.

Abstract:
Introduction: In recent years, Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) has emerged as the predominant cause of pyogenic liver abscess in Asia. KP—as the causative microorganism in other visceral organ abscesses—is less described. In this study, we seeked to describe the clinical characteristics of KP visceral organ abscesses in our institution and evaluated the prescription practices of physicians with regard to antibiotic therapy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with culture positive (blood or abscess aspirate) KP visceral organ abscesses from May 2014 to April 2016 requiring hospitalisation in Changi General Hospital was conducted. Results: A total of 140 adult patients with KP visceral organ abscesses were identified. The commonest site of involvement was the liver (77.9%), followed by genitourinary tract (20.7%). Diabetic patients were more likely to have liver abscesses, genitourinary abscesses, abscesses in 2 or more organs, genitourinary disease with abscess formation outside of the genitourinary tract, and endovascular infection. Patients with extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing KP, were more likely to have an obstructive lesion related to the site of the abscess. Overall mortality rate was 7.1%. Amongst survivors, the mean total duration of parenteral antimicrobial therapy was 2.5 weeks before switching to oral antimicrobial agents. Conclusion: Genitourinary tract is the commonest extra-hepatic site for visceral organ abscess in KP infections. Parenteral to oral switch of antimicrobial agents appears to be a safe and effective treatment option. Key words: Disseminated infection, Genitourinary abscess, Liver Abscess

Abstract:
Background and objective: Genitourinary injuries are commonly encountered in the emergency department but may be over looked in case of multi-trauma. Determining the clinical features of genitourinary injuries will help physicians in the management of genitourinary trauma. Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital. Patients of all ages, admitted in the emergency department, with trauma between 2015 and 2020 were included and analyzed. The cause of genitourinary trauma, affected organs, any accompanying injury, treatments, mortality status, and laboratory tests related to mortality were obtained from the hospital records and analyzed. Results: During the study period, 87 patients admitted to the emergency department with genitourinary trauma were included in the study. The majority of these patients (n=79) were male. Of the patients, 9.2% died. All the patients in the mortality group had additional injuries. The most frequently injured organ was determined as the kidney (51.7%), followed by the scrotum (25.3%) and penis (8.1%). Additional injuries were observed in 81.6% of the patients. Intra-abdominal organ injuries (19.5%) were the most common accompanying injuries. White blood cell count (WBC), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase ( ALT), blood glucose and creatinine values measured at the time of admission to the emergency department were found to be higher in the non-survivor group. The majority of the patients (81%) were discharged with conservative treatment and follow-up. Conclusion: It was determined that genitourinary injuries were frequently seen with additional injuries. Genitourinary injury should be evaluated carefully, especially in the presence of intra-abdominal organ injuries. Ibrahim Med. Coll. J. 2021; 15(2): 32-37

Abstract:
In the Russian Federation, genitourinary tuberculosis ranks third in the structure of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Timely recognition of genitourinary tuberculosis is usually difficult. The authors analyzed a case of occupational infection with tuberculosis of the genitourinary system by a phthisiologist. The clinical observation ended with a clinical cure for tuberculosis of the genitourinary system, however, with the outcome in chronic prostatitis, chronic post-tuberculosis pyelonephritis with the development of chronic kidney disease. It is shown that the timely establishment of a connection between urinary syndrome and epidemiological, including professional anamnesis, contributes to the timely establishment of the professional nature of the disease. With untimely diagnosis and late initiation of treatment of tuberculosis of the genitourinary system, serious complications can develop up to the destruction of the kidney with complete loss of its function, which leads to disability and loss of ability to work. If tuberculosis of the genitourinary system is suspected, experts recommend conducting a study of urine sediment, prostate secretion to determine the deoxyribonucleic acid of mycobacterium tuberculosis by polymerase chain reaction. Any doubt in case of nonspecific inflammation of the genitourinary system should be interpreted in favor of tuberculosis with further in-depth examination and dynamic monitoring.

Abstract:
The gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts share several similarities. Primarily, these tissues are composed of hollow structures lined by an epithelium through which materials need to flow with the help of peristalsis brought by muscle contraction. In the case of the gastrointestinal tract, solid or liquid food must circulate to be digested and absorbed and the waste products eliminated. In the case of the urinary tract, the urine produced by the kidneys must flow to the bladder, where it is stored until its elimination from the body. Finally, in the case of the vagina, it must allow the evacuation of blood during menstruation, accommodate the male sexual organ during coitus, and is the natural way to birth a child. The present review describes the anatomy, pathologies, and treatments of such organs, emphasizing tissue engineering strategies.

Full text
Abstract:
In vertebrates, the urogenital sinus and the hindgut are connected at a hollow region called cloaca. A midline mesenchymal structure known as urorectal septum (urs) descends from the ventral body wall to separate the urogenital sinus from the hindgut before the formation of an anal opening. Subsequent cloaca membrane regression at the ventral midline of the genital tubercle (GT) is crucial for the formation of an anal opening. These two events are important during cloaca septation in urorectal development. Mice with defective Shh or Wnt signaling displayed similar urorectal defects such as GT agenesis, un-partitioned cloaca (persistent cloaca) and proximal urethral opening that are attributable to increased cell apoptosis. Furthermore, Shh and Wnt signal transduction coordinate with each other and regulate cell survival of the developing urorectum. However, the molecular mechanisms by which these two signaling pathways coordinate in urorectal development remain unclear. We previously identified Wnt inhibitory factor1 (Wif1) from Affymetrix array analysis for genes/pathways that is implicated in urorectal development. Wif1 is a secreted protein that binds directly to Wnt ligands preventing Wnts from binding to receptors. This leads to -catenin degradation and thereby inhibits their activities. It is known that Wif1 binds to Wnt3a and Wnt5a with high affinity and deletion of Wnt3a, Wnt5a and -catenin in mice caused GT agenesis, persistent cloaca and proximal hypospadias. Using ETU-induced anorectal malformations model, I found out that Wif1 is ectopically expressed in the un-tubularized and un-septated urorectum. Wif1 is mainly expressed at the fusing endoderm that associates with programmed cell death during cloaca septation. Exogenous addition of Wif1 protein in urorectum culture also caused cloaca membrane disintegration, and proximal urethral opening that may be due to aberrant apoptosis. Shh and Wif1 are differentially expressed at the cloaca endoderm. In normal mice, Shh is highly expressed at the cloaca endoderm except those Wif1-expressing endodermal cells. Blockage of Shh pathway by cyclopamine in urorectum culture induced ectopic expression of Wif1, concomitant with genital tubercle hypoplasia and un-septated cloaca. More importantly, deletion of Shh in mice hastened Wif1 expression at the cloaca membrane endoderm and elicited increased cell death in the Wif1 expressing endoderm. Wif1-/- embryos display urorectal defects including delayed genital outgrowth and proximal hypospadias. Therefore, disruption of spatiotemporal expression of Wif1 could lead to defective Wnt signaling and contributes to abnormal urorectal development in Shh-/- mutant. Current study revealed that Wif1 is involved in urorectal development and is implicated in urorectal defects. It may function as a pro-apoptotic factor to regulate endodermal cell death which is essential for the septation process. Its specific expression is restricted at the midline cloaca endoderm by Shh signaling to inhibit local Wnt--catenin activities during cloaca septation. I proposed novel hypothetical models to explain (1) the significance of the tempo-spatial expression of Wif1; (2) the significance of cell death; and (3) the molecular mechanism that Shh signaling regulates Wnt signaling activities through Wif1 in urorectal development.

Abstract:
In mammals, the external genitalia, urinary tract and anorectal tract are developed from a common embryonic primordium, the urorectum. Cloaca is the hollow space inside the urorectum that connects the hindgut and the urogenital sinus. During the urorectal development, the external genitalia is formed from the outgrowth of genital tubercle (GT) protruding from the urorectum, while the future urinary tract and anorectal tract are formed by the partition of cloaca during cloacal septation. GT outgrowth and cloacal septation are important developmental events for the formation of genitourinary and anorectal system. In human, dysregulation of these developmental events results in congenital anorectal malformations (ARM). Wnt signaling is one of the key signaling pathways that regulates urorectal development. The activity of Wnt signaling is initiated by the binding of Wnt ligands to cell surface receptors, which can be antagonized by secretory Wnt inhibitors. Dickkopf1 (Dkk1) and Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (Wif1) are secretory Wnt inhibitors implicated in urorectal development. However, the functions of other secretory Wnt inhibitors during urorectal developments remain to be elucidated. In this study, expression analyses showed that Dkk1, Dickkopf2 (Dkk2), Dickkopf4 (Dkk4), Secreted Frizzled-related Protein 1 (Sfrp1) and Wif1 were expressed in the developing urorectum. The dynamic, overlapping and restricted expression patterns of these Wnt inhibitors were closely associated with the GT outgrowth and the cloacal septation events, implying that these Wnt inhibitors functioned in a coordinated manner in defining the field of Wnt signaling activities in the developing urorectum. Wif1 knockout mice (〖Wif1〗^(-/-)) was used as the model to investigate the functions of and the interplay between secretory Wnt inhibitors in urorectal development. GT outgrowth and cloacal septation defects were observed in 〖Wif1〗^(-/-) embryos. Most of the 〖Wif1〗^(-/-) embryos displayed varying degrees of GT outgrowth defects, while septation defects were only occasionally observed. This suggested that GT outgrowth and cloacal septation were regulated by Wif1 via different regulatory mechanisms. In the urorectum of 〖Wif1〗^(-/-) embryos, Dkk1 was significantly upregulated in the peri-cloacal mesenchyme. Further expression analysis suggested that Dkk1 was sufficient to rescue cloacal septation defects but not GT outgrowth defects in 〖Wif1〗^(-/-)embryos. In the 〖Wif1〗^(-/-) embryos with severe GT outgrowth defects, the Fgf8-expressing distal urethral epithelium, the signaling center in the urorectum, was absent, suggesting that the GT outgrowth defects could be contributed by the loss of dUE-expressing signals such as Fgf8. This study demonstrated the importance of secretory Wnt inhibitors in the GT outgrowth and cloacal septation and suggested that secretory Wnt inhibitors played partially overlapping roles in urorectal development. A rescue mechanism for cloacal septation performed by Dkk1 upon Wif1 deletion was proposed. Such auto-regulatory mechanism within the Wnt signaling pathway indicated that Wnt inhibitors play essential regulatory roles in the urorectal development and a balanced Wnt signaling activity modulated by Wnt inhibitors is crucial to the development of urorectum.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with automating the process of separating and sealing the rectum in bovines. In particular, it analyses those designs that have been trialled during the course of automation. Following a summary of the most successful of these designs, the final chapter outlines the benefits of automating this process to the meat producing industry of Australia and makes recommendations for future research. In achieving these tasks, chapters are devoted to the four specific processes of locating, separating, sealing and cutting the anus. These processes were automated and the various designs subsequently trialled at CSIRO Meat Research Laboratory, Cannon Hill, Brisbane during the period August 1990 to March 1994. The scope of the project does not include an analysis of the costs and benefits of the process.

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Approximately 35% of women worldwide have stress incontinence, which is defined as involuntary leakage of urine on effort, exertion, or on sneezing and coughing. There are various surgical techniques for stress incontinence; however, minimally invasive operations are increasingly being chosen by surgeons and their patients. Of these procedures, tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) has a cure rate of approximately 90% and is now perceived as the standard technique for stress incontinence. Reported complications of TVT include arterial laceration, bladder perforation, bowel perforation, de novo urgency, dyspareunia, excessive blood loss, haematoma, nerve injuries, urethral erosion, urge incontinence, urinary tract infection, vascular injury, vaginal mesh erosion, voiding dysfunction and death. Suprapubic urethral support sling (SPARC) is a very similar minimally invasive operation and early indications suggested that the success rate for treating stress incontinence was expected to be identical or better than those obtained with the earlier TVT approach, with possibly fewer adverse perioperative events. Our trial sought to establish equivalence between TVT and SPARC in relation to short-term complications and efficacy. OBJECTIVES The primary outcome was bladder perforation. Secondary outcomes were blood loss, voiding difficulty, urgency, and cure of stress incontinence symptoms. METHOD A randomised controlled one-sided equivalence trial (RCT) was conducted in Perth, Western Australia during 2003 and 2004 by researchers in the School of Population Health, University of Western Australia (UWA) and King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH). Patients were recruited from the public Urology/Urogynaecology Clinic at the primary women's hospital and the consultant surgeons' private practices. ... However, acute urinary retention requiring a return to theatre to loosen the tape (TVT 0%, SPARC 6.5%; OR: [infinity], 95% CL: 2.2, [infinity]; p=0.002) and subjective short-term cure (TVT 87.1%, SPARC 76.5%; OR: 2.07, 95% CL: 1.13, 3.81; p=0.03) were statistically significantly different. CONCLUSIONS The results are consistent with clinical equivalence between TVT and SPARC in relation to the incidence of bladder perforation. No statistically significant difference was found between TVT and SPARC in blood loss, urgency or short-term objective cure of stress incontinence at the six week post-discharge visit to the surgeon. However, the tapes were more difficult to adjust correctly in SPARC procedures and a statistically significant number of patients required a return to theatre for loosening of the tape (TVT 0/147, 0% and SPARC 10/154, 6.5%, p=0.002). Compared with SPARC, TVT was statistically significantly higher for subjective short-term cure. In ii relation to vaginal mesh erosion, TVT was lower than SPARC, though not statistically significantly. Overall, voiding difficulty (loosening of the tape), urgency and vaginal mesh erosion were the most important clinical problems. This randomised controlled trial demonstrates the importance of testing new devices which appear to be similar, but which may have clinically relevant differences. A follow up study to assess the long-term efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape and suprapubic urethral support sling and associated complications is planned.

"The use of levobupivacaine and ropivacaine in spinal anaesthesia for lower limb and urological surgery." Thesis, 2011. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6075198.

Full text
Abstract:
I found that 2.6ml of 0.5% levobupivacaine had similar clinical characteristics as the same volume of 0.5% bupivacaine in spinal anaesthesia. Both were effective for spinal anaesthesia in urological surgery, when a sensory block up to at least T10 dermatome was required. In comparing the use of levobupivacaine alone and levobupivacaine with fentanyl, there were no significant differences in haemodynamic changes and quality of sensory and motor block, when 2.6ml of levobupivacaine alone or 2.3ml of levobupivacaine with fentanyl 15mcg (0.3ml) were used in spinal anaesthesia. Both were effective for spinal anaesthesia in urological surgery. In comparing the use of ropivacaine 10mg and bupivacaine 10mg, both with fentanyl 15mcg in spinal anaesthesia for urological surgery, all the patients achieved adequate level of sensory block up to T10 dermatome or higher. The two drugs were similar in the onset time of motor block, the characteristics of sensory block and haemodynamic changes; however, the duration of motor block was shorter with ropivacaine. I concluded that both studied solutions, ropivacaine-fentanyl and bupivacaine-fentanyl, were effective for spinal anaesthesia in urological surgery and the duration of motor block was shorter with the ropivacaine-fentanyl solution. The dose-response relationship of ropivacaine in spinal anaesthesia for lower limb surgery requiring a sensory block up to at least the T12 dermatome was defined. Anaesthesia was successful in 0, 0, 42, 83 and 100% when ropivacaine at doses of 2, 4, 7, 10 and 14mg respectively were given. The derived values for ED50 and ED95 were 7.6mg and 11.4mg respectively. The cephalic level of sensory block and the degree of motor block increased with larger doses of ropivacaine. Finally, the median effective dose (ED50) of bupivacaine, levobupivacaine and ropivacaine in spinal anaesthesia for lower limb surgery were defined as 5.50mg (95% CI: 4.90--6.10mg), 5.68mg (95% CI: 4.92--6.44mg), and 8.41mg (95% CI: 7.15--9.67mg) respectively. The relative potency ratios were 0.97 (95% CI: 0.81--1.17) for levobupivacaine/bupivacaine, 0.65 (95% CI: 0.54--0.80) for ropivacaine/bupivacaine and 0.68 (95% CI: 0.55--0.84) for ropivacainellevobupivacaine.
In this series of studies, I have shown that levobupivacaine and ropivacaine are effective local anaesthetic agents for spinal anaesthesia in lower limb and urological surgery. This proved my hypothesis. Both are suitable alternatives to bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia. Furthermore, these studies showed that ropivacaine is less potent than levobupivacaine and bupivacaine and the potency is similar between levobupivacaine and bupivacaine at median effective dose.
Levobupivacaine and ropivacaine are two relatively new local anaesthetics which were developed in view of their potential for less cardiotoxicity in comparison with bupivacaine, the most common local anaesthetic used in spinal anaesthesia for many years. Both are produced in pure S(-) enantiomer form in contrast to bupivacaine which is a racemic mixture. They have been shown to be effective in peripheral nerve blocks, and epidural analgesia and anaesthesia; nevertheless, experience of their use in spinal anaesthesia is limited. The objective of this thesis was to evaluate their use in spinal anaesthesia for surgery in non-obstetric patients. My hypothesis was that levobupivacaine and ropivacaine are effective local anaesthetic agents for spinal anaesthesia in lower limb and urological surgery. In order to test this hypothesis, I conducted five clinical studies on 269 patients who had urological surgery or lower limb surgery under spinal or combined spinal-epidural anaesthesia. First, I investigated the efficacy and clinical characteristics of levobupivacaine and the mixture of levobupivacaine with fentanyl in spinal anaesthesia. Next, I compared the use of ropivacaine-fentanyl with bupivacaine-fentanyl in spinal anaesthesia. Finally, I defined the dose-response relationship of ropivacaine in spinal anaesthesia using traditional dose-response methodology and defined the relative potency among levobupivacaine, ropivacaine and bupivacaine by comparing the defined ED50 in spinal anaesthesia using up-down sequential allocation method.
