Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective Assessment of Radiation in Pediatric Urology: The Pediatric Urology Radiation Safety Evaluation Study.

TL;DR: Pediatric radiation exposure is not insignificant during urological procedures, and protocols to optimize fluoroscopic settings and minimize patient exposure, and guidelines for radiation based imaging should have a key role in all pediatric radiation safety initiatives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydronephrosis in pediatric kidney transplant: clinical relevance to graft outcome.

TL;DR: Pediatric renal graft hydronephrosis was correlated with worsening renal function and increased incidence of pyelonephritis, and more aggressive preoperative and postoperative urological testing and management should help preserve renal function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolving Mechanisms of Injury and Management of Pediatric Blunt Renal Trauma—20 Years of Experience

TL;DR: The majority of blunt pediatric renal injuries are low grade and can be managed nonoperatively, and nephrectomy is rarely required but is indicated for hemodynamic instability refractory to resuscitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Female-to-male sex reversal associated with unique Xp21.2 deletion disrupting genomic regulatory architecture of the dosage-sensitive sex reversal region

TL;DR: In this article, a unique, 80'kb microdeletion removing the regulatory sequences and the NR0B1 gene was detected by microarray analysis, which disturbed the human-specific genomic architecture of the Xp21.2 dosage-sensitive sex (DSS) reversal region in the XX patient with male-appearing ambiguous genitalia and ovotestis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Embryonal adenoma of the kidney associated with polycythemia and von willebrand disease

TL;DR: Polycythemia and von Willebrand disease may be associated with benign kidney neoplasms and children and adolescents with a renal mass may benefit from preoperative screening for coagulopathy.
