We determined the correlation between prostatic calculi and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), as well as the predisposing factors of prostatic calculi. Of the 1 527 patients who presented at our clinic for LUTS, 802 underwent complete evaluations, including transrectal ultrasonography, voided bladder-3 specimen and international prostatic symptoms score (IPSS). A total of 335 patients with p...

renal actinomycosis is a rare infection, and actinomycosis mostly acts as a normal flora in mouth, colon and vagina. we present a case of 56 years old man, who referred to our center for renal transplantation with kidney stone and diagnosed  with renal actinomycosis.  this case has risen possibility of rare infection that can be considered in the setting of renal transplantation.

There exist many different calculi for rescribing interactive and sequential behaviour. The goal of action calculi [1] is to unify these calculi at a syntactic and operation level. We introduce a symmetric variant which extends the reach of action calculi to cover for example the Fusion calculus [2] and Yoshida’s process graphs [3]. These symmetric action calculi conservatively extend the refle...

OBJECTIVE To determine the mineral composition of calculi, anatomic locations of the calculi, and findings of urinalysis and bacteriologic culture of urine and calculi in guinea pigs with urolithiasis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. ANIMALS 127 guinea pigs. PROCEDURES Records of urinary calculi that had been submitted to the University of California Stone Laboratory from 1985 through 2003 ...

Background: Prostatic calculi are common in men who are evaluated for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer, but the significance of prostatic calculi with respect to urological diseases and symptoms is obscure. In most cases, when symptoms are present, they are usually nonspecific. The majority of calculi are discovered incidentally, usually by means of a radiological investiga...

While a mature body of work supports the study rewriting systems, abstract tools for Probabilistic Rewriting are still limited. In this paper we question uniqueness result (unique limit distribution), and develop set proof techniques to analyze compare reduction strategies. The goal is have support operational analysis probabilistic calculi (such as lambda-calculi) where evaluation allows diffe...

OBJECTIVE To study the chemical composition of upper renal tract (renal and ureteric) calculi in Multan. SETTING Department of Urology, Nishtar Hospital, Multan. STUDY PERIOD September 1992 to February 1999. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 700 renal and ureteric calculi were analyzed by chemical method of Hodgkinson. RESULTS The commonest were uric acid (28.1%) calculi, followed in freq...

We present a family of infinitary lambda calculi with varying strictness. This family of calculi corresponds to the infinitary lambda calculi of Kennaway et al. but instead of metric completion our calculi are based on ideal completion. We show that each of our calculi conservatively extends the corresponding metric-based calculus. The extension that our calculi provide is characterised in the ...
