RADIONUCLIDE STUDIES IN PEDIATRIC PRACTICE: INTERACTION OF RESEARCHER, CHILD AND PARENTS

The authors consider the issues interaction between a doctor and a child during the radionuclide study. They also give recommendations of the pediatric council under auspices of the European society of the nuclear medicine to carry on the scintigraphic studies among the children. The article high lights the basic moments as to the psychoprophylactic preparation of the children for the radionuclide study with regard to their age and character peculiarities. The researchers offer approaches to define the psychic and emotional status of the child, degree of anxiety before the study and methods to eliminate it, allowing for considerable quality improvement of the performed procedure.Key words: children, radionuclide diagnostics, pediatric radiology, psychoprophylactic preparation

HORMONAL STATUS AND MARKERS OF AUTOIMMUNE SPERMATOGENESIS DISORDERS IN ADOLESCENTS WHO HAVE UNDERGONE VARICOCELE SURGERY

Varicocele is the most common and rological pathology. Varicocele is no. 1 cause of sterility in men. The article illustrates the stages of spermatogenesis that control its hormones and biologically active substances studied in adolescents who have undergone operations for a left-side varicocele. The results obtained indicate the need for and safety of a timely surgery (if there are indications for it) in order to correct varicocele for improved spermatogenic function. Key words: varicocele, antisperm antibodies, inhibin B. (Pediatric Pharmacology. – 2010; 7(4):92-94

NEW APPROACHES TO DIAGNOSTICS OF VESICOURETERAL REFLUX IN CHILDREN

Vesicoureteral reflux in children without diagnostics and correct treatment could result in chronic renal failure. This prognosis forces to look for new more informative methods of diagnostics. The authors of the article conducted research to assess the reliability of key methods — radionuclide and radiological methods. The results obtained indicate the need for a differentiated approach to each child and advisability of comprehensive examination of a child using various methods not only to identify the presence of reflux, but also its duration, intensity in order to select the right tactics of treating the patient. Key words: vesicoureteral reflux, diagnostics, dynamic nephroscintigraphy, radionuclide cystography, voiding cystography, children. (Pediatric Pharmacology. – 2010; 7(3):95-97

RADIONUCLIDE MEASURING OF THE TRANSIT OF URINE IN URETERS IN CHILDREN WITH OBSTRUCTIVE UROPATHIES

Through the use of radionuclide method for the rate measuring of the urine passing by the ureter, it became possible to assess the outcome of the surgical correction of the vesicoureteral segment obstructive uropathy, based on the nature of urodynamics in the operated organ and urinary tract. This method allows to determine the degree of the urodynamics in the urinary tract violations, the tactics of further treatment and objectively evaluate the outcome of the surgery performed, based on mathematical calculation of the activity of the radiopharmaceutical, eliminating the assessment subjectivity. Key words: radionuclide methods of investigation, obstructive uropathies, megaureter, vesico-ureteral reflux. (Pediatric Pharmacology. — 2011; 8 (5): 118–121.
