However, ur...

The child was well three months later. Moncrieff and Poynton (1929) reported the case...

Childhood cancers: space-time distribution in Britain.

In contrast to the situation in adults, an infectious or metabolic cause for stone formation is detected in the majority of pediatric patients. The underlying molecular mechanism of urolithiasis has been shown in a number of conditions, and some of them have been discovered in pediat...
