Association of the Calcification Score of the Abdominal Aorta, Common Iliac, an...
Ribeiro, Luís Costa; Almeida, Manuela; J, Malheiro; Silva, Filipa; Nunes-Carneiro, Diogo; Martins, La Salete; Pedroso, Sofia; Silva-Ramos, MiguelBackground: Vascular calcification is an ever-more-common finding in protocoled pre-transplant imaging in living kidney donors. We intended to explore whether a connection could be found between the Agatston calcification score, prior to kidney donation, and post-donation renal function. Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of 156 living kidney donors who underwent living donor nephrectomy between January ...
Sapheno-Cavernous Shunt: A Vascular Approach In The Treatment Of Ischemic Priapism
Veiga, Carlos; Nunes-Carneiro, Diogo; Silva-Ramos, Miguel; Sá Pinto, Pedro; Almeida, RuiPriapism is an urologic emergency defined as an erection that persists for more than 4 hours and is unrelated or lasts beyond sexual stimulation. Ischemic priapism, caused by prolonged venous occlusion within the corporal bodies, works as a compartment syndrome that requires prompt resolution in order to preserve erectile function. We present two cases of ischemic priapism refractory to conventional treatment t...
Remaining kidney volume indexed to weight as a strong predictor of estimated gl...
Nunes-Carneiro, Diogo; Madanelo, Mariana; Silva, Filipa; Pestana, Nicole; Ribeiro, Catarina; Gil‐Sousa, Diogo; Martins, La Salete; Almeida, ManuelaThe donors' estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after living nephrectomy has been a concern, particularly in donors with smaller kindeys. Therefore, we developed this retrospective observational study in 195 donors to determine the ability remaining kidney volume indexed to weight (RKV/W) to predict eGFR at 1 year through multivariate linear regression and to explore this relationship between annual eGF...
β3 Adrenoceptor-induced cholinergic inhibition in human and rat urinary bladder...
Silva, Isabel; Magalhães‐Cardoso, M. Teresa; Ferreirinha, Fátima; Moreira, Sílvia; Costa, Ana Filipa; Silva, Diogo; Vieira, Cátia; Silva-Ramos, MiguelBackground and purpose: The mechanism by which β3 receptor agonists (e.g. mirabegron) control bladder overactivity may involve adenosine release from human and rat detrusor smooth muscle. Retrograde activation of adenosine A1 receptors reduces ACh release from cholinergic bladder nerves. β3 -Adrenoceptors usually couple to adenylyl cyclase. Here we investigated, which of the cAMP targets, protein kinase A or th...
Laparoscopic nephrectomy for ex-vivo correction of renal artery aneurism and au...
Braga, Isaac Leandro Campos; Cabral, João; Barbosa, Nuno; Príncipe, Paulo; Silva-Ramos, Miguel; Fraga, AvelinoINTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Renal artery aneurism are a rare condition, with a prevalence of 0.09% of the population. The outcomes and clinical management of this patients depend on the presence of symptoms and subsequent risk of rupture. Most patients are managed by endovascular techniques, but difficult cases may present a challenge to urologists. METHODS: We present a case of a 35 year old female, history o...
