MUDr.Drahomíra Polcarová, MUDr.Hana Zákoucká

Urol. praxi, 2015; 16(2): 61-64  

Chlamydial infections could possibly lead to a serious damage of human´s health. Chlamydia pneumoniae is the most common pathogen from this genus, causing primarily respiratory tract infections. The highest attention is concentrated to Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia psittaci infections are also very important and could be very serious. Diagnostic approach, direct or indirect detection, is influenced singnificantly by clinical manifestation and chlamydial species. Sampling of a biological material for testing and its quality are absolutely essential.

Atherosclerosis in urology

MUDr.Martina Vaclová, Ph.D., MUDr.Michal Vrablík, Ph.D.

Urol. praxi, 2015; 16(2): 66-69  

In case vascular erectile dysfunction is diagnosed a urologist should assess the presence of risk factors for atherosclerosis. For this purpose cooperation between urologists and internal medicine specialists/general practitioners represents a feasible and useful way of patients´ management. Importantly, the role of urologists in identification of patients with increased cardiovascular risk is crucial as erectile dysfunction might be the only symptom of early atherosclerosis and the only motivation for the patients to seek medical attention.

The erectile dysfunction is a common consequence of a spinal trauma. The incidence of spinal cord injuries in the Czech Republic and around the world has a slightly upward trend. From the epidemiological point of view the spinal trauma affects especially young people. It represents a confining factor while planning a family and parenting. The paper presents a theoretical knowledge of the erectile function supplemented by observations of own sample of patients. The sample group consisted of 93 patients after spinal trauma monitored at the Urological Clinic of the St. Anna University Hospital in Brno. We used an anonymous questionnaire method...

MUDr.Ivo Novák, Ph.D., doc.MUDr.Sylva Skálová, Ph.D., MUDr.Karel Hodík, Ph.D., MUDr.Pavel Rejtar, Ph.D.

Urol. praxi, 2015; 16(2): 75-79  

Routine prenatal screening of pregnant women increases the numbers of organ abnormalities found. Repeat ultrasonographic examination is the most important prenatal diagnostic method in the uropoietic system. Urinary tract dilatation is the most common ultrasonographic finding. The aetiology is varied. Postnatally, in addition to ultrasonographic evaluation to confirm or rule out the prenatal finding, other tests are performed in order to refine the diagnosis (voiding cystourethrography, static / dynamic renal scintigraphy, urethrocystoscopy, lower urinary tract urodynamic testing). For the patient, it is of major importance to determine the...

Surgical intervention in 6 months old child with hydrocele congenitalis bilateralis permagna

MUDr.Martina Novotná, MUDr.Ivo Novák, Ph.D.

Urol. praxi, 2015; 16(2): 80-82  

Communicating hydrocele is a benign anomaly which is not rare in young boys. It can sometimes be seen even in adults. Operation of communicating hydrocele is not recommended within the first 12–24 months of age. In most cases congenital hydroceles regress spontaneously in childhood. We present a case of five months old pacient who was sent to our clinic with large bilateral congenital hydrocele. The patient was operated in 6 months of age. Early operation was chosen due to extreme size of the hydroceles which caused troubles with nursening and presented risk of potential delay in pacient´s motoric development. We performed bilateral resection...

Extramammary Paget‘s disease in anogenital localization is very rare disease. The apokrine glands are mainly affected.. It is usually a slow-growing, invasive or non-invasive lesions. They cause in the majority of patients pruritus of affected area, sometimes accompanied by pain or bleeding.

Social science defines illness primarily as an opposite to the state of health. As such, it sees it to large extend as a subjective and relative phenomenon, seriously determined by ones native culture. To illustrate the context, the author uses Explanatory model of Arthur Kleinman (1980) and sets it against the primary data, observed during the interaction between the Roma and the majority medical staff in the current Czech Republic. Paper does not offer practical solutions. Rather, it points to differences and similarities...
