The study was performed to compare the efficacy of a herbal plant, Orthosiphon grandiflorus (OG), and the drug sodium potassium citrate (SPC) in treatment of renal calculi. Forty-eight rural stone formers identified by ultrasonography were recruited and randomly assigned to two treatment groups (G1
In this article a theoretical framework is developed for the mechanics of kidney stones with an isotropic, random microstructure--such as those comprised of cystine or struvite. The approach is based on a micromechanical description of kidney stones comprised of crystals in a binding matrix. Stress
To assess the efficacy and tolerability of D-mannose-containing product (Cystoman(®)) in preventing recurrence in patients who underwent surgical treatment for infection related urinary stones. From January 2011 to February 2013 we have enrolled all consecutive patients affected by staghorn calculi
OBJECTIVE
Six double-blind, placebo-controlled trials were conducted with topiramate (TPM) initiated as adjunctive therapy in adults with treatment-resistant partial-onset seizures with or without secondary generalization.
METHODS
Because protocols and study populations were similar, data from the
OBJECTIVE
Although one prior study reported an association between bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) and urinary calculi (UC), no population-based study to date has been conducted to explore this relationship. Therefore, using a population-based data set in Taiwan, this study set
Haemobilia can present with gastrointestinal bleeding, biliary colic and jaundice. Causes include trauma, iatrogenic causes, calculi, inflammation, vascular malformations and neoplasms. Benign gallbladder polyp is a very rare cause. A 63-year-old male with suspected gallbladder cancer due to the
OBJECTIVE
To assess 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and to study the relationship, if any, between vitamin D concentration and bone disease.
METHODS
Consecutive patients with diagnosed primary hyperparathyroidism were enrolled in the study.
Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 4.2.1.1) isoforms present in the eyes (CA I, II, IV and XII), with sulfonamides such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide and dichlorophenamide, is still widely used for the systemic treatment of glaucoma. The mechanism of action of these drugs
BACKGROUND
The formation of gallstones in the gall bladder is very common. It is now considered that approximately 10% to 15% of the adult population has gallstones. It is more frequent in women than men.

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) such as acetazolamide, methazolamide, ethoxzolamide and dichlorophenamide were and still are widely used systemic antiglaucoma drugs. Their mechanism of action consists in inhibition of CA isozymes present in ciliary processes of the eye (such as CA II, IV and
