  • Are there Long-Term Effects of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy in paediatric patients?: Long-Term Effects of pediatric SWL
    BJU international, 2012
    Co-Authors: Ahmed R. El-nahas, Bassam A. Awad, Ahmed El-assmy, Mohamed Abou El-ghar, Ibrahim Eraky, Mahmoud R. El-kenawy, Khaled Z. Sheir
    Abstract:

    WHAT'S KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT? AND WHAT DOES THE STUDY ADD?: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy is effective for the treatment of paediatric renal stones with favourable short-Term safety. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for treatment of paediatric renal stones is also safe for the kidney and the child on Long-Term follow-up. To evaluate the Long-Term Effects of extracoporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for treatment of renal stones in paediatric patients. A database of paediatric patients who underwent SWL monotherapy for treatment of renal stones from September 1990 through to January 2009 was compiled. This study included only patients with follow-up for more than 2 years. The Long-Term Effects of SWL were evaluated at the last follow-up with measurement of patients' arterial blood pressure, estimation of random blood sugar and urine analysis. The results of diastolic blood pressure were plotted against a standardized age reference curve. The treated kidney was examined by ultrasonography for measurement of renal length and detection of stones. The measured renal lengths were plotted against age-calculated normal renal lengths in healthy individuals. The study included 70 patients (44 boys (63%) and 26 girls) with mean age at the time of SWL 6.5 ± 3.6 years (range 1-14). The mean follow-up period was 5.2 ± 3.6 years (range 2.1-17.5). The mean age at last follow-up was 11.7 ± 5.3 years (range 4.4-27.5). No patients developed hypertension or diabetes. Only one treated kidney was smaller than one standard deviation of the calculated length. The cause of this was obstruction by a stone in the pelvic ureter 3 years after SWL. The Long-Term follow-up after SWL for treatment of renal stones in paediatric patients showed no effect on renal growth and no development of hypertension or diabetes. © 2012 BJU International.

  • Long‐Term Effects of sexual abuse which occurred in childhood: A review
    The British journal of clinical psychology, 1991
    Co-Authors: C. Cahill, S. P. Llewelyn, Christy Pearson
    Abstract:

    The psychological problems and difficulties experienced by adults who report having been sexually abused in childhood are reviewed. These Long-Term Effects include damage to the victims' emotional reactions and self-perceptions, relationship problems, problems with sexuality and difficulties in social functioning. Common presenting problems of victims of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) are described. Also discussed are the characteristics of incestuous abuse in Terms of the victim, the abusive relationship and its Termination; the contributions of the various aspects of CSA to the psychological impact of such abuse; and psychodynamic explanations of the development of Long-Term Effects. The bulk of the published material regarding the Long-Term Effects of CSA refers to female victims only, and this 'bias' is reflected in the review.

  • Long-Term Effects of pediatric extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy on renal function.
    Research and reports in urology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Yigit Akin, Selcuk Yucel
    Abstract:

    Introduction Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a well-known and successful treatment modality. In addition, it can be used in premature infants. ESWL is used to treat kidney and ureter stones in children. However, although it is a preferred noninvasive treatment in that setting, there is debate about its Long-Term Effects on growing kidneys in children. Objectives To investigate the Long-Term Effects of pediatric ESWL on renal function in light of updated literature. Methods PubMed and Medline were searched for studies on ESWL in a pediatric population with keywords including efficacy, child, kidney calculi, ureter calculi, lithotripsy, injury, vascular trauma, and shock waves. The research was limited to the English literature during a period from 1980 to 2014. In total, 3,000 articles were evaluated, but only 151 papers were considered. Only the manuscripts directly related to the reviewed subjects were included in the current study. Results However, the acute Effects of ESWL in kidney are well-described. Although there are limited studies on the Long-Term Effects of ESWL in children, there is a widespread opinion that ESWL is not affecting renal functions in the Long-Term. Conclusion ESWL is a safe, effective, and noninvasive treatment option in children. Although ESWL can cause some acute Effects in the kidney, there is no Long-Term effect on the growing kidneys of children.
