An in-depth comprehension of the epidemiology as well as pathophysiology of uric acid
urolithiasis is important for the identification, treatment, and prophylaxis of calculi in these …

Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) has proven to be a highly effective treatment for the removal of
kidney stones. Shock waves (SWs) can be used to break most stone types, and because …

The European Association of Urology (EAU) Urolithiasis Guidelines Panel has prepared
these guidelines to help urologists assess evidence-based management of stones/calculi in …

Urolithiasis is a universal problem that has become increasingly prevalent in the United
States and has a high rate of recurrence. Imaging of urolithiasis has evolved over the years …

Urolithiasis is a common disease with increasing prevalence worldwide and a lifetime-
estimated recurrence risk of over 50%. Imaging plays a critical role in the initial diagnosis …

Ultra-high-speed video microscopy and numerical modeling were used to assess the
dynamics of microbubbles at the surface of urinary stones. Lipid-shell microbubbles …

Cystine stones are often highly resistant to shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), but it has been
reported that cystine stones of “rough” morphology are actually quite susceptible to SWL …

This book was written with the aim of widening the reader's spectrum of knowledge
regarding the uses of shock waves in medicine and biology, as well as to contribute to safer …

Purpose: To assess the utility of attenuation coefficients as predictors of surgical outcome
after a single flexible ureteroscopy (URS) with holmium laser lithotripsy. Many reports …

PURPOSE: We investigated the role of noncontrast computerized tomography in predicting
the treatment outcome of shock wave lithotripsy on upper ureteral stones to formulate a …
