Symptoms suggesting infection of the urinary tract are common. In domiciliary practice they are encountered in 12 to 20 of every 1,000 consultations. During the past fifteen years quantitative bacteriology has shown the important role of bacteriuria in causing these symptoms. At a time when considerable medical resources are being invested in treating terminal renal failure, interest in a preve...

We are often told that we should be drinking more water, but the rationale for this remains unclear and no recommendations currently exist for a healthy fluid intake supported by rigorous scientific evidence. Crucially, the same lack of evidence precludes the claim that a high fluid intake has no clinical benefit. The aim of this study is to describe the mechanisms by which chronic low fluid in...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract stones are increasing in our societies. Similar to the finding in developed countries, majority of our patients have upper urinary tract stones.

We present the management of urethral ston...
