Summary
Introduction
Diphallia is a rare anomaly. It has a range of appearances from a small accessory penile to complete duplication.
Methods
We present a 2 year-old boy with complete penile duplication. The left penile was the largest. NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) suggested one corporal body for each penile and VCUG (Voiding Cystourethrogram) showed a normal urethra in the right penile and stricture at glandular and mid penile urethra of the left penis. A Y confluence to bulbar urethra was observed confirming only one prostate and bladder.
Results
The cystoscopy through the right penile identified the urethral confluence in the bulbar area. We performed a meatotomy in the left penile to insert the cystoscope and confirmed the blind ending urethra. We decided to remove this penile. The penile was degloved entirely and clamped and took out the corpora at the base.
Discussion
Diphallia can have three presentations: only glans duplication, bifid diphallia and complete diphallia (two corpora cavernosa and a corpus spongiosum for each penile). In our case, each penile presented only one corpora cavernosa and the decision taken was based on urethral patency.
Conclusion
The treatment should always be planned individually whereas associated anomalies with the goal of attaining satisfactory functional and cosmetic.

Introduction The bladder scanner (BS), a portable ultrasound device specialized in bladder volume measurement, has been developed and applied to clinical assessment of postvoid residual urine, which is a requisite in evaluating patients with voiding dysfunction.
However, experiences in the application of the BS to the pediatric population remain limited despite commonly encountered reluctance to catheterization. This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the correlation and accuracy of the newly developed pediatric module of the BS (BioCon-900) in measuring bladder volume in children 0e6 years.
Materials and methods
This study included 29 patients scheduled to undergo preventive untethering for their spinal dysraphism. When they undergo cystometry for the confirmation of normal neurologic function, bladder volume was measured by BS when recorded volume infusion reached each quartile of the age-adjusted estimated bladder capacity (EBC). The difference (bias) between measured and infused volume was expressed as a percentage of EBC (%EBC). The correlation coefficient and the Bland_Altman plot were obtained to determine the discriminating power and accuracy, respectively. The acceptable limit was set as 30%EBC.
A strong correlation between the measured and infused volume (r = 0.95, P < 0.001) was found for the entire age range. This excellent correlation remained comparable between children less than three years and the older ones. Bladder volume tended to be overestimated, and the mean bias was 33 ± 22.3%EBC, and it became higher with increasing quartiles. The accuracy was acceptable in all ranges of measurement in the older group and first and second quartiles in the younger one.
We have first evaluated the potential use of BS in 0_3 years old children and compared the results with 4_6- year-old children in whom the accuracy of BS has been demonstrated. The strong point of our study was the inclusion of data spanning all quartiles of bladder volume. The use of infused volume as reference enabled us to assess the accuracy in a more precise way than the use of ultrasound. Despite the good discriminating power, the accuracy was not acceptable in higher quartiles in the younger group. If the trend of overestimation especially higher volume, could be understood prior to measurement, it would be helpful to assume the real val.
Conclusions
The children’s module in BS showed excellent discriminating power and generally acceptable accuracy in more than four-year-old children. This may lose accuracy in higher quartiles among less than three years old children.

随着现在人们生活水平的逐渐提高,有一种“富贵病”在生活中逐渐出现,渐渐地已经成为生活中的常见病,它就是我们常说的糖尿病。而今天小编不给大家讲糖尿病的相关知识,而是讲一种因糖尿病而引起的一种并发症,它的名字叫糖尿病足!
下肢静脉溃疡
下肢静脉性溃疡,俗称“老烂腿”,是下肢静脉疾病的常见临床表现。下肢静脉性溃疡常常反复发作,溃疡久治不愈,严重影响患者的正常生活,因此一旦出现下肢静脉性溃疡的现象,患者应该及时到正规医院的血管外科就医,以查清病因,对症下药。
糖尿病足骨髓炎(Diabetic foot osteomyelitis,DFO)与更高的踝上截肢率相关。尽管DFO有着很高的发生率和糟糕的预后,然而针对其治疗却缺乏高质量的证据。由于缺乏基于证据的指南,导致其治疗方法多种多样。作者咨询了14个外科专家,采用Delphi方法获得了关于DFO诊断、治疗和管理的专家共识。同时作者希望有更多有力的研究和更清晰的指南,以便能改善外科治疗的结果。
