118 patients presenting with pancreatic lithiasis were consecutively observed in our service. They underwent both an endoscopic pancreatography and god plain films of the abdomen. Calculi were classified in 3 groups: 1) Radiolucent calculi (17 cases, 5 females; 4 hereditary cases) are build up of

BACKGROUND
Using a nationwide population-based dataset and case-control study design, we investigate the association between urinary calculi (UC) and kidney cancer (KC) in Taiwan.
METHODS
The data for this case-control study were sourced from the Taiwan National Health Insurance program. The cases
The aim of this study was to assess the inhibitory action of phytate in formation of renal calculi. Hypertension (induced by nicotine) combined with hypercalcemia (induced by D vitamin) was used to induce calcification in renal tissue in male Wistar rats that were fed a purified phytate free diet.
One hundred and eighteen consecutive patients presenting with pancreatic calculi have been studied by means of plain films of the abdomen and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Patients were divided into the following groups: 1) Evenly calcified calculi, 74 patients, 66 men, aged at
We report an unusual case of a 78-year-old Caucasian female, who presented with peritoneal carcinomatosis and hypercalcemia, and was found to have a rapidly progressive primary squamous cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder. Squamous cell bladder carcinoma is a rare malignancy in the United States,
BACKGROUND
This case report details an incidental finding of a submandibular duct fistula to a patient's posterior mouth floor found on a barium swallow examination that was performed to rule out gastrological causes of substernal chest pain. The radiologist was unable to determine the cause of the
Chronic pancreatitis is defined by a persistent destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma replaced by fibrosis. The lesions generally start in the exocrine gland, islets being attacked later in the fibrosis. The two most frequent forms are: 1. Chronic calcifying pancreatitis which is a pancreatic
OBJECTIVE
To describe the clinical and radiological patterns of chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP) associated with pancreas divisum.
METHODS
Case-control study.
METHODS
Pancreas divisum was diagnosed in 20 out of 411 patients presenting with CCP between 1985 and 1994 (group I). They were matched
OBJECTIVE
Comestible or chewable intraoral foreign bodies (IOFB), such as candies, gum, and chewing tobacco, are seen incidentally on many CT scans of the head and neck. If these foreign bodies are misinterpreted as pathology, patients may be subjected to unnecessary distress or unneeded radiation
Although there are many methods for reconstructing diets of the past, detailed taxon identification is still challenging, and most plants hardly remain at a site. In this study, we applied DNA metabarcoding to dental calculus of premodern Japan for the taxonomic identification of food items. DNA was
