The medical records of all patients referred to the emergency department (ED) of Sheba Medical Center for renal colic during 1996 were analyzed. Patients discharged from the ED and those hospitalized were compared. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups with regard to average age
The symptoms of right-sided renal colic mimic sometimes acute appendicitis. A prospective comparative study of 188 patients with ureteral stone and 188 patients with acute appendicitis was performed to evaluate the features of differential diagnosis. Appendicitis caused more often nausea (81 vs
The value of emergency room renal scan in acute renal colic was evaluated. Based on obstructive pattern on renal scan, 53 cases were admitted. The results indicate that only in 13 cases (25%) there was a need for further inpatient investigation followed by interventional treatment. In all 13 cases,
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine the value of clinical parameters and radiologic findings on unenhanced CT to the choice between interventional and conservative management for patients with acute renal colic.
METHODS
Unenhanced CT records of 183 consecutive patients with acute

BACKGROUND
Protease inhibitors, mainly Indinavir, are widely used drugs for the treatment of patients infected by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and are related to renal colic and urinary obstruction. These conditions are the result of urine excretion of these drugs which favours the
Introduction: We hypothesized that the recent COVID-19 pandemic may lead to a delay in renal colic patients presenting to the Emergency Department due to the fear of getting infected. This delay may lead to a more severe clinical
The classic presentation of acute renal colic is the sudden onset of very severe pain in the flank primarily caused by the acute ureteral obstruction. The diagnosis is often made on clinical symptoms only, although confirmatory exams are generally performed because many others significant disorders
OBJECTIVE
We evaluate the clinical, diagnostic and radiographic findings in patients on indinavir therapy who presented with renal colic, and propose appropriate treatment options for indinavir urolithiasis.
METHODS

BACKGROUND
Logistic regression is the most common statistical model for processing multivariate data in the medical literature. Artificial intelligence models like an artificial neural network (ANN) and genetic algorithm (GA) may also be useful to interpret medical data.
