Grey Zones in Urolithiasis Guidelines.

EFFECT OF GRAPHITE FLAKES ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF MELTED, TRANSITION AND HEAT AFFECTED ZONES IN GREY CAST IRON REMELTED BY TIG

Abstract:transition and heat affected zones formed during surface remelting (in order to improve wear resistance) with TIGprocess has been investigated. Relationship between various TIG parameters and thickness of remelted and heataffected zones revealed that a high concentrated heat energy is imposed by TIG process which makes it a proper optionfor focused surface treatment. Based on microstru...

Dissolution of extensive urolithiasis: extending the utility of rasburicase can avoid the need for surgical intervention and renal replacement therapy

A 79-year-old male with chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and extensive bilateral renal stone disease was treated with intravenous rasburicase for persistent hyperuricaemia. Subsequent imaging revealed a complete dissolution of stone burden, avoiding the need for complex, invasive stone surgery and further renal replacement therapy.

Metabolic evaluation and medical management of upper urinary tract stone disease. Guidelines from the Scandinavian Cooperative Group for Urinary Stones.

A set of simple guidelines for metabolic evaluation and medical/dietary management of patients with urolithiasis is presented. The evaluation scheme is based on the documented risk factors in the Nordic area and the results of controlled clinical trials, and takes its basis in the severity of the stone disease in the individual stone patient. The initial evaluation in all patients aims at diagn...

[Urolithiasis in the area III of Zaragoza: biochemistry and epidemiology].

The urolithiasis is a very common disease that it causes, in addition to the suffering for the patients, an important cost sanitary partner. The composition of the renal stones that can influence in the treatment and later evaluation of the disease, varies in the different zones. In our work the composition of the renal stones received in the Biochemistry department of the H.C.U of Zaragoza stu...
