Congenital urinary malformations associated with congenital heart disease are very rare. We present a case of horseshoe and supernumerary kidney associated with coarctation of aorta diagnosed by a combination of techniques of teleradiography, aortography, intravenous pyelography; ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and Dimercapto Succinic Acid (DMSA) and Diethylene Triamine Pentacetate (DTPA) imaging. This case represents the first reported instance of horseshoe and supernumerary kidney associated with coarctation of aorta.

To investigate the influence of the succinic acid treatment on geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes. Succinic Acid has some positive biological properties. One of its is a neglecting of an aerobic glycolysis. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of the combination of the succinic acid ("MITOMIN") on treating of diabetic neuropathy of geriatric patients with type 2 diabetes. The analysis was carried out using 26 patients (aged 60-76 years). The duration of diabetes was 9.15 +/- 1.43 years. Biomedical parameters were measured by standard methods; microalbuminuria was measured by "Micral-Test". Quality of life (psychosocial disorders) was estimated with the help of "SANDOZ"-scale for geriatric assessment. The therapy was assigned 1.5 g of mitomin per day during a month. All patients were examined on having late diabetic complications: 7.69%--had diabetic retinopathy; 11.54%--diabetic nephropathy; 73.08%--diabetic neuropathy; 46.15%--chronic failure of brain vessels; 11.5%--macroangiopathy of lower extremities and 100%--had ischeamic heart disease of different levels. Mitomin therapy improved basal and postprandial glycemic control (NS), variance of pallesthesia (p < 0.001), parameters of quality of life, i.e. depression (p < 0.001), anxiety (p < 0.01), short memory (p < 0.05) and emotionality (p < 0.001). Mitomin therapy plays a positive role in management of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. It improves glycemic control, pallestesia and quality of life. Combination of succinic acid renders central and peripheral neuropathy protective efficacy.
