To minimize the operative time and to avoid open cystolithotomy in women with large bladder stone (>5 cm), we present here a modification of percutaneous cystolithotomy, a well-described standard procedure for urinary bladder stones. With this technique, suprapubic percutaneous access was achieved under cystoscopic guidance. The suprapubic tract was dilated and an Amplatz sheath of 30 Fr was pl...

Overactive bladder (OAB) is a disturbance of filling/storage and has been defined by the International Continence Society as “a symptom syndrome consisting of urgency with or without urge urinary incontinence, often associated with urinary frequency and nocturia.” (Abrams et al., 2002) OAB has been divided into OAB without urinary incontinence (OABdry) and OAB with urinary incontinence (OABwet)...

Based on the frequency volume chart, 215 patients who complained of pollakisuria were clinically investigated. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: the elderly group was composed of 85 patients more than 65 years of age (mean of 72) and the adult group comprised 130 patients less than 64 years old (mean of 47). The elderly group was characterized by the fact that, during nighttime (after sl...

The concept of the overactive bladder was first introduced by Bates in the 1960’s as a description of an observation of the loss of the ability to inhibit normal detrusor activity (Bates 1971). Although emphasizing that the term did not imply a pathology, he acknowledged it to be of considerable importance in clinical practice, mainly because of its possible role as the cause of undesirable sym...

Giant or massive bladder stone is a rare condition that is usually seen in men with an underlying urologic problem. Hereby we report a large stone in a healthy young female without any predisposing factor and with the minimal urologic complaint.

______________________________________________________________________________________ Purpose: Currently, several modalities are used to manage bladder stones. We report laparoscopic single port cystolithotomy using stone basket via pneumovesicum method. video SeCTion

we discuss the repercussions of the development of infinitesimal calculus into modern analysis, beginning with viewpoints expressed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and relating them to the natural cognitive development of mathematical thinking and imaginative visual interpretations of axiomatic proof.

I survey known results and results that easily follow from known results about the recognizing power and complexity of various fragments of the Lambek calculus.

Sir,?I doubt if the proposal which Major C. Duer put forward in his letter headed " Litliotrity and Litholapaxy" in last November issue of The Indian Medical Gazette will find much favour among men of our service interested in the surgery of vesical calculus. We have used the designation 'litholapaxy' in India for the last thirty years to the almost total exclusion of the word ' lithotrity.' I ...
