“…Quality of life of patients from our study, with diabetes and lung cancer, was also negatively influenced, especially by the presence of neuropathy, that can be determined by both diabetes and chemotherapy [26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

The main objective of this analysis is to evaluate the impact of lung cancer and diabetes association on cancer treatment and outcome of lung cancer patients. Lung cancer, as well as diabetes mellitus, are two diseases with very high prevalence. Lung cancer, despite the improvement in diagnosis and therapeutic methods, is still the 1st cause of cancer-related deaths. The influence of diabetes on cancer patients survival is well established among patients with hepatic, pancreatic or breast cancer. Diabetes implication on lung cancer outcome is not well known. Several studies reported a negative impact, whereas other studies reported a better prognosis for these patients. Our study took place in the Oncology Department of the Clinical Emergency Hospital of Constanta, Romania. 80 patients with diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer were elected to participate in this study; 29 patients had also diabetes. Selected patients were divided in 2 groups, one group of lung cancer and diabetes, and one group without diabetes. Features of the patients among both groups were analyzed. Our study showed that preexisting diabetes is an unfavorable factor, and has influence on lung cancer prognosis, treatment adhesion and quality of life. To amend the outcome of patients with lung cancer, a better evaluation of patients� co-morbidities, including diabetes mellitus, is required.

“…Therefore, the ureter that drains the upper segment may migrate farther in a caudal direction, becoming ectopic and obstructed, while the ureter that drains the lower segment may terminate laterally with a short intravesical tunnel that more often results in vesicoureteral reflux [6]. Complete ureteral duplication can also be associated with increased pressure in the upper renal parenchyma, which can lead to atrophy and loss of function in this unit [10]. In our patient, after adequate investigation, it was identified that she had complete ureteral duplication on the left side, with the duplicated ureter corresponding to the upper pole of the left kidney and ectopic opening in the vulva, about 1 cm below the urethra, following the Weigert-Meyer law.…”

“…The most frequent associated anomaly in complete ureteral duplication is ureterocele. Other complications include vesicoureteral reflux, ureteropelvic junction obstruction, ureters with ectopic openings, and megaureter [7,8,9,10]. Many patients with ureteral duplication are asymptomatic; however, a common presentation is persistent or recurrent urinary tract infections or even urinary incontinence with preserved voiding (exclusively in females) [6,7].…”

Ureteral duplication is one of the most common congenital malformations of the urinary tract and may be complete or incomplete. One of the complications of complete ureteral duplication is an ectopic ureter orifice, which, depending on the opening site, may cause urinary incontinence in females, a condition with potentially serious repercussions on the woman's quality of life. Thus, the present study aims to report the case of a 24-year-old female patient with a complaint of urinary incontinence since childhood. After a physical examination and imaging tests, she was diagnosed with complete ureteral duplication on the left side, associated with sequelar parenchymal atrophy of the upper pole of the left kidney, and ectopic vulvar ureter. The patient underwent a videolaparoscopic left upper polar nephrectomy, and her symptoms improved after surgery. This report intends to add to already available data in the literature, highlighting the relevance of anamnesis and physical examination in reaching a diagnosis and implementing appropriate treatment, thus improving the quality of life of individuals with this condition. In addition, these data should be useful both for the medical community and for future studies on this malformation.
