Roman Godfrey-Upir. An Upir is a mythological creature from Eastern European folklore. In Russian stories, they are a type of vampire or ghoul, who feeds upon the blood and flesh of their children and family. Upir may also be spelled as Upyr, Opir, Upior or Upier. 2  On Hemlock Grove, both Peter Rumancek and his mother, Lynda Rumancek, immediately recognized Roman Godfrey as an Upir, but suspected that he was unaware of his true heritage.
What is Ureteropelvic Junction Stenosis (UPJ Stenosis)? It is one of the most common benign diseases causing renal pelvis dilatation. It mosttly occurs in children and is mainly congenital (from birth). Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is the point where the ureter meets the renal pelvis. Renal pelvis is like a 'sink' collecting urine produced by the kidney, while UPJ is the 'sink-trap' (siphon) through which the urine has to pass so that it will end to the bladder through the ureter.
