Children with voiding disorders and/or congenital neurogenic voiding dysfunction (CNVD) represent a significant portion of patients of the pediatric urologist. Seriousness of CNVD results from the risk of early secondary kidney damage and urinary incontinence significantly decreasing the quality of life. Delayed diagnosis of CNVD is common in occult neurologic diseases. Management of CNVD is complex and as a rule needs the lifelong followup. The aim of study is to point out the role of clinical evaluation and non-invasive urodynamics in diagnosis, treatment and followup of children with CNVD.

Tuberculosis is infectious disease with dramatic decrease of incidence in second half of 20th century in western countries. Increasing migration, immunosupressive therapy, pandemia of AIDS and worldwide uncontrolled use of antituberculotics contains threat of importation to countries, where tubreculosis is rare at present. Epidemiological data still doesnt reflect increased number of patients with tubercusolosis but high rate of imported cases in foreigners should leads urologists to give thought to specific disease in urological diagnostics. Article includes basic overview of pathogenesis of urogenital tuberculosis, current diagnosticals and new trends...

Intrascular application of contrast media (CM) we usually use due examinations like IVU, CT examination of kidney, retroperitoneum, pelvis, CT angiography, PTA, embolisation. Aim of this applicalion is to represent patological leasions, vascular tree, to demonstrate urinary route. Reactions of CM can occur, profylaxis and correct treatment of reaction is important to elimination or to degrease the repercussions. We should use strategies to minimize adverse events and be prepared to promptly recognize and manage any reactions to the contrast media.

Renal cell carcinoma makes up 2–3 % solid tumors in total in adults. Incidence is 2-fold higher in men in comparison to women, sometimes the ratio is 3:2. The majority of renal cell carcinomas is sporadic, 4 % only is familial. Metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis is found in one third of the patients. In more than half of the patients with localized tumor develop the disease progression in later course of the disease. Renal cell carcinoma is the most lethal urological malignancy, the mortality is > 40 % of patients. The incidence of renal carcinoma has in the last 25 years risen in 23–70 %. Standardized incidence...

Non-neurogenic disorders become aware by their clinical symptoms that significantly affect quality of life, not rarely by recurrent urinary tract infections which accompany them. The knowledge of aetiology and pathogenesis of these disorders, especially in childhood, can together with prevention reduce their incidence. Non-invasive investigations are preferred for the diagnosis. The exceptions are disorder with failed therapy, persistent vesico-ureteric reflux, recurrent infections with fevers or possibly with attacks of acute pyelonephritis. Also non-neurogenic dysfunctions indicated for surgery belong to this group.

Gradual increase of cases and deaths from malignant diseases during the previous century resulted in their dominant position in the overall mortality and morbidity of the populations of developed countries. This situation led to the use of epidemiological methods in the field of non-infectious, mainly malignant diseases, applied in the past with success in the study and control of infectious diseases. The aim of this paper is to provide the urologists and other clinicians with the most common epidemiological indicators as well as their adequate use in the study urological malignancies.

Finding of hyperprolactinaemia in men with sexual dysfunction leads to a question about his effect on men’s sexuality, its relationship to testosterone and its effect on target tissues. Despite the pathologic secretion (overproduction usually) of prolactin is quite frequent phenomenon during the lifetime, it is usually asymptomatic in men and resolves spontaneously. There are approximately 70 causes of hyperprolactinaemia according to The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy (USA), from the diagnostically and therapeutically clear ones (e.g. hypophyseal adenoma) to those not so clearly defined (especially with regards to aetiology) cases (such...
