Reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts toward a myocardial cell fate by forced expression cardiac transcription factors or microRNAs has recently been demonstrated. The potential clinical applicability these findings is based on the minimal regenerative adult human heart and limited availability tissue. An initial but mandatory step application this approach to establish conditions for conversion phenotype. Toward goal, we sought determine optimal combination necessary sufficient direct...

Objective To combine and analyse the results from centres with a large experience of laparoscopy for impalpable testis small series, to determine expected success rate laparoscopic orchidopexy. Methods A questionnaire was distributed participating paediatric urologists; each contributor retrospectively reviewed clinical charts their cases therapeutic an testis, detailing 36 variables patient. The data were collated centrally into computerized database. For inclusion, intra‐abdominal...
To develop a novel laparoscopic system of moveable instruments that are positioned intra-abdominally and "locked" into place by external permanent magnets placed on the abdomen.In conventional laparoscopy, multiple trocars required because limited degrees freedom instrumentation, working envelope (an inverted cone) created fulcrum motion around each port. While robotic systems can improve number freedom, they restricted even smaller envelopes.A collaborative research group from Department...

Abstract Background Castration‐insensitive epithelial progenitors capable of regenerating the prostate have been proposed to be concentrated in proximal region based on facultative assays. Functional characterization populations isolated with individual cell surface markers has failed provide a consensus anatomical and transcriptional identity progenitors.

Prune belly syndrome (PBS), also known as Eagle-Barret syndrome, is a rare, multi-system congenital myopathy primarily affecting males. Phenotypically, PBS cases manifest three cardinal pathological features: urinary tract dilation with poorly contractile smooth muscle, wrinkled flaccid ventral abdominal wall skeletal muscle deficiency, and intra-abdominal undescended testes. Genetically, understood. After performing whole exome sequencing in patients, we identify one compound heterozygous...
Objectives. To delineate the clinical outcomes of color Doppler ultrasound (US) in equivocal torsion patient. Methods. From 1992 to 1997, 130 patients (<23 years old) from 2 institutions underwent US imaging using a 7.5-mHz linear transducer evaluate an acute scrotum equivocal, or low suspicion, for torsion. The reports and hospital charts these were retrospectively reviewed. Results. After radiologic evaluation, was excluded 110 without surgical exploration. In 3 patients,...
We assessed the feasibility of single keyhole laparoscopic surgery using a novel transabdominal magnetic anchoring and guidance system platform in porcine model.A collaborative research group was formed to build prototype magnetically anchored instruments for trocar-free laparoscopy. The design mandate that developed technology should be able deploy into insufflated abdomen through an existing 12 mm diameter trocar then moved position peritoneum by manipulating external magnets. concept...

While the timely diagnosis and management of pediatric torsion can lead to testicular salvage, limited data exist on rates orchiopexy vs orchiectomy associated factors. Thus, we examined Pediatric Health Information System database for outcomes demographics at American hospitals.Using performed a 7-year retrospective cohort study in children 1 17 years old with primary ICD-9 torsion, assessing CPT codes orchiectomy. Data were analyzed SPSS®, version 17.0.Of 2,876 patients who underwent...

The use of continent urinary reservoirs has gained wide acceptance, particularly in reconstruction children with a small capacity or neuropathic bladder. When augmentation cystoplasty is combined clean intermittent catheterization, patients are often able to achieve continence low intravesical filling pressures and renal preservation. Often this approach requires fashioning cutaneous stoma, which remains the most challenging aspect reservoirs. We analyzed our experience diversion...
