UPJ Obstruction Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a blockage at the point where part of the kidney attaches to one of the tubes to the bladder (ureters). This blocks the flow of urine out of the kidney. UPJ obstruction mostly occurs in children. It often happens when a baby is still growing in the womb. This is called a congenital condition (present from birth). The blockage is caused when there is a narrowing of area between the ureter and the part of the kidney called the renal pelvis.

- Velopharyngeal Incompetence. Figure 6 shows velopharyngeal incompetence (VPI), which is caused by poor movement of the velopharyngeal structures. This is due to a disorder or injury of the brain or cranial nerves. Cerebral palsy and traumatic brain injury are examples of disorders that cause velopharyngeal incompetence.

Percutaneous Treatment of Symptomatic Superior Vena Cava Syndrome Following Pacemaker Implantation Although imaging evidence of venous obstruction may be present in approximately 25% of patients, symptoms are reported in only 1–3% of cases. Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a rare presentation of central venous obstruction in patients with CIED. We report on the use of a combined approach of percutaneous laser lead extraction followed by venoplasty as a method for treating this problem.

Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction Surgery is usually required if a UPJ obstruction is affecting kidney function. Either endoscopic techniques or open surgery can be used, although adults are better candidates for endoscopic procedures. Even though the success rate for endoscopy is lower, the risk of complications is less, and recovery time is shorter.

Case reportExtraluminal lipoma with common femoral vein obstruction: A cause of chronic venous insufficiency Further imaging revealed a patent common femoral vein with augmentation that was compressed by an extrinsic mass. Exploration identified a lipoma that was extravascular and was resulting in venous outflow obstruction. Excision of the lipoma resulted in clinical improvement and ulcer healing.

- Stimulation of the PPRF on one side therefore causes a conjugate movement of the eyes to the same side. Loss of normal horizontal eye movements occurs when the PPRF is disrupted as follows. 1. Lesions of the PPRF give rise to ipsilateral horizontal gaze palsies, sparing the vestibulo-ocular reflex.

What it Looks Like: Jugular Vein Distention When veins aren’t getting emptied, we look downstream to discover what portion of the pump is failing. JVD is therefore caused by right heart failure. (Of course, the most common cause of right heart failure is left heart failure, so that doesn’t mean it’s an isolated event.) If JVD isn’t the heart’s fault, then we look to fluid levels. Too much circulating volume will lead to bulging veins for obvious reasons; the flexible tubes are simply extra full.

Bladder outlet obstruction Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is a blockage at the base of the bladder. It reduces or stops the flow of urine into the urethra. The urethra is the tube that carries urine out of the body. This condition is common in aging men. It is often caused by enlarged prostate.

First-Degree Atrioventricular Block The His-Purkinje system is yet another location where AV block may occur. First-degree AV block and second-degree Mobitz I AV block usually involve a delay at the level of the AVN, whereas second-degree Mobitz II AV block generally involves blockage in the His bundle or lower regions of the conduction system.n follow-up of the cohort through 2007, individuals with first-degree AV block had a 2-fold adjusted risk of atrial fibrillation, a 3-fold adjusted risk of pacemaker implantation, and a 1.4-fold adjusted risk of all-cause mortality.

Failure to Sense - Oversensing Inappropriate sensing of extraneous electrical signals. Failure to Sense - Oversensing. Inappropriate sensing of extraneous electrical signals. Oversensing results when there is inappropriate sensing of extraneous electrical signals (skeletal muscle activity, electrical interference). These electrical signals are interpreted by the pacemaker as intrinsic activity and as a result the pacemaker does not fire. It is recognized by absent pacemaker spikes and ventricular asystole. These inappropriate signals may be large P or T waves, skeletal muscle activity or lead contact problems. Abnormal signals may not be evident on ECG.

What it Looks Like: Jugular Vein Distention Most often, JVD is examined in an inclined or semi-Fowler’s position of 30-45 degrees. If the patient is supine, a total lack of visible JVD is actually pathological and indicative of low volume; in this position the jugular veins are usually well-filled. (Think: flat veins in a flat patient is bad.) JVD when the head is elevated is more to our interest. Some examples of visible JVD follow, plus some examination tips.

- This is clinically insignificant but is treated by many as a posterior rotation or an upslip. Some chiropractors and PTs mobilize this joint in an attempt to correct a posterior dysfunction or an upslip with the patient side-lying, pulling back on the shoulder and shoving forward and down on the pelvis.ust change to a direct correction by grasping the pelvis directly without using the leg as a lever. • Never prolo the iliolumbar ligaments until the SIJ is corrected and stable. This may preclude the possibility of achieving correction. • Never correct for a posterior dysfunction or an upslip.

What it Looks Like: Jugular Vein Distention JVD is simply the visible “bulging” of the external jugular veins on either side of the neck. These are large veins that drain blood from the head and return it directly to the heart. Since they’re located near the surface, they provide a reasonably good measure of systemic venous pressure.

Kussmaul's sign Kussmaul's sign. Not to be confused with Kussmaul breathing. Kussmaul sign is a paradoxical rise in jugular venous pressure (JVP) on inspiration, or a failure in the appropriate fall of the JVP with inspiration. It can be seen in some forms of heart disease and is usually indicative of limited right ventricular filling due to right heart dysfunction.

What is UPJ obstruction? What is UPJ obstruction? The ureteropelvic junction is located where the pelvis of the kidney meets the ureter (the tube that drains urine into the bladder). The term ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction describes a blockage to this area. The obstruction impedes the flow of urine down to the bladder, causing the urine to back up in the kidney and dilate it (hydronephrosis).
