Pneumatic lithotripsy is a minimally invasive technique mainly for the treatment of urinary staghorn stones. Previous literatures have reported some therapeutic complications during or after this procedure, but calculi embolism has not been mentioned before.We report here a fatal case of
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) supplies a big percentage of the organ source pool. Compared to living-related donations, donor kidneys from DCD are commonly with lower quality since they inevitably suffer from hypoxia, hypotension, and inadequate organ perfusion during the progression to
OBJECTIVE
To characterize septic shock following urinary infection with severe pulmonary capillary leakage, and to evaluate the fluid therapy on treatment of hypovolemic shock and the role of transpulmonary thermodilution technique with pulse induced continuous cardiac output (PiCCO)
BACKGROUND
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has become a routine method for the treatment of renal and ureteral calculi. Occasionally, multisequential ESWL treatments and high energy shock waves are required to treat large calculi. The purpose of the study was to compare renal
We report a case of miliary tuberculosis following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL*). The patient had right lower caliceal and left distal ureteral calculi on excretory urography. He was hospitalized 50 days after ESWL with fever, weight loss and night sweats. Liver function tests were
The steenbok (Raphicerus campestris) is a small antelope of the family Bovidae native to the African continent. Urolithiasis, the formation of urinary calculi in the urinary tract, can be caused by a variety of factors such as diet, dehydration, infection and anatomical predisposition. Urolithiasis,
The relationship between calcium-based calculi and Randall plaques is well documented, but the role these plaques play in the early process of urinary stone formation remains unknown. The vascular hypothesis of Randall plaque formation has been proposed, and recent works support this concept. The
We conducted experiments to elucidate the impact of ischemic change on benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) using immunohistochemistry.Medical records of consecutive patients over 60 years of age who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate for BPH Purine nucleotide degradation refers to a regulated series of reactions by which human purine ribonucleotides and deoxyribonucleotides are degraded to uric acid in humans. Two major types of disorders occur in this pathway. A block of degradation occurs with syndromes involving immune deficiency,
