OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of antioxidant therapy on the levels of mediators of shock wave induced renal injury in patients with renal calculi treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
METHODS
One hundred and twenty patients with renal calculi were divided into three
Nephrolithiasis is a common disorder and a significant problem because of incidence, recurrence and severe consequences. Stone disease is a surgical as well as a medical problem. Major progress has been made recently in understanding the pathophysiological disturbances responsible for stone
BACKGROUND
Gallstone is implicated for hepatocellular injury due to chronic extra hepatic large bile duct obstruction with or without repeated episodes of cholangitis.
OBJECTIVE
To study the liver changes in patients undergoing operative procedure for gallstone disease and to determine the
The detection of common-duct stones is important in the treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis. The records of 256 patients with histopathologically confirmed acute cholecystitis were reviewed retrospectively. Associated choledocholithiasis was found in 32 (12.5%). Preoperative serum
An investigation was undertaken to study the distribution of enzymes associated with submandibular gland salivary calculi. Ten calculi were freeze-sectioned and incubated for acid and alkaline phosphatases and for lactate, succinate and maleate dehydrogenases. All calculi were partly covered by a
Association of alkaline phosphatase with silicic acid in precipitates formed in dilute solution was studied as a model for the nonspecific reaction between silicic acid and protein. Precipitates contained 68-83% of the silicic acid and 52-83% of the enzyme in the original mixture and were in the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate effect of ethanolic extract of Pedalium murex Linn. fruits on experimental model of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis.
METHODS
Thirty-six male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided in 6 groups.Normal controls received distilled water for 28 days. Other five groups received
Spontaneous transpapillary stone passage was found in 16 of 84 cases with sonographically detected common bile duct stones. Stone passage was confirmed by ultrasound and retrograde endoscopic cholangiography (ERC) as well as by intraoperative cholangiography and also by clinical observation.
The catalytic activity of lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminopeptidase and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase has been measured in 24 h urines of patients with a calcium oxalate calculus (9 men, 11 women) and has been compared with those of a reference
In order to assess the validity of a biochemical prediction of gallstones early in the course of acute pancreatitis by simple biochemical values (SGOT greater than or equal to 60 U/l, bilirubin greater than or equal to 1.6 mg/dl, alkaline phosphatase greater than or equal to 100 U/l) 297 patients
The incidence of renal calculi has been evaluated to be 25% in urogenital tuberculosis patients. The stone could be caused due to the host, the pathogenic organism, or possibly by the treatment. Studies were carried out to find out the efficacy of vitamin E supplementation in reducing the risk of
This experiment assessed the effect of feeding genetically modified cottonseed (Bt) containing an insect controlling protein (Cry1Ac) on haematology, blood biochemistry and histopathology of lambs. Haemato-biochemicals were estimated at periodic intervals, and histopathology at termination of
