Absrracr.A direct end-to-side anastomosis between the radial artery and the cephalic vein on the forearm was created for hemodialysis in thirty cases. In the authors' experience this procedure makes a valuable contribution to the easier management of hemodialysis as the shunt is less liable to thrombosis and infection, less time is lost in controlling the shunt, and the arm can be used freely between dialyses. A local aneurysm in the anastomosis required reoperation in one case. -682937Scand J Urol Nephrol2 Scand J Urol Nephrol Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by University of Sydney on 01/05/15 For personal use only.

For diagnosis of incontinence the exact analysis of the dynamics of micturition is of great importance, primarily in order to evaluate the urethral flow-resistance and detrusor activity. Extending already existing methods for the evaluation of urodynamics, we developed a complex method of cine/pressure/flow/cystourethrography. All data were recorded and simultaneously stored on videotape. Especially in cases of incontinence with a neurogenic component important information for a causative therapy was gained using this complex investigation. Thus in 20 patients with incontinence, studied for exclusion of a neurogenic component, we found two patients with a neurogenic bladder dysfunction that had been unknown prior to the examination. The neurogenic component in each case had remained unnoticed by usual routine diagnostic procedures.
