Comparison of Cohen and Lich-Gregoir ureteral reimplantation in the surgical management of primary unilateral vesicoureteral reflux in children.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) represents one of the most significant risk factors for acute pyelonephritis in children. Various intravesical and extravesical techniques have been described for the surgical correction of VUR. The aim of our study was to compare the results of open intravesical and extravesical procedures for unilateral primary VUR in children. ⋯ Intravesical and extravesical ureteroneocystostomy methods are equally successful and feasible in the treatment of primary unilateral VUR. The Cohen technique is associated with a longer and more painful hospital stay, gross hematuria, and longer operative time, compared to the Lich-Gregoir technique.

Study of angiopoietin and plasminogen genes in hereditary angioedema.
To investigate the presence of the Angiopoietin 1 (ANGPT1) and Plasminogen (PLG) mutations in patients with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) and normal C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) levels, who do not harbor the F12 gene mutation. ⋯ Further studies are needed to evaluate these SNPs and scrutinize their potential for use as molecular markers of HAE and as novel therapeutic targets.
