Our study was designed to measure sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, and accuracy of the plain abdominal radiograph (PAR) for diagnosing ureteral calculi (UC) in our emergency department (ED), and to determine if obtaining this test in the ED provides clinically useful diagnostic informatio

Ureteral rings were used to study in vitro spontaneous phasic contractions, similar to the peristaltic waves in vivo. Addition of small amounts of sheep or human urine inhibited or totally blocked rhythmic contractions, and induced tonic contracture. Changes in osmolality induced by the addition of
Isolated sheep and human ureteral preparations (from patients with bilharzia) were subjected in-vitro to graded elongation and the effect on tension and spontaneous peristaltic frequency was assessed. Sheep specimens were obtained from three locations: the intra- and extrarenal portion of the pelvis
The effect of bacterial products of various strains obtained from patients with urinary tract infections was tested on peristalsis of sheep ureteral rings. In 55-70% spontaneous rhythmic contractions were inhibited by addition of small amounts of growth supernatants from Escherichia coli, Pseudomona
The effects of synthetic urine environments of pH 4,6, and 9.5 on the microhardness of renal calculi have been investigated. Tests were made, using both Vickers and Knoop indenters, on three compositions of calculi: 100% calcium oxalate monohydrate (whewellite), 100% uric acid, and 98% magnesium amm
