[Functional state of kidneys and cardiovascular risk in patients with urolithiasis in an outpatient setting].

Aim: To analyze the functional state of the kidneys and vascular stiffness in patients with urinary stone disease in an outpatient setting.

Material And Methods: A total of 110 patients with urinary stone disease aged 17-72 years were included in the study. The stone size was 2,67 (1,90-3,49) mm.

[Cerebrovascular complications in patients with malignant neoplasms].

Patients with malignant neoplasms have an increased risk of cerebrovascular complications (intratumoral hemorrhage, invasion of arterial and venous sinus by tumor mass or leptomeningeal infiltrates, and tumor embolism). The review discusses the role and importance of cisplatin and radiation therapy in the occurrence of cerebrovascular complications in patients with malignant neoplasms that may occur before, during or years after treatment. Descriptions of individual clinical observations of the lesions of the central nervous system in the treatment of cancer are provided.

[Bidirectionality of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with urolithiasis: current state of the problem].

The most common risk factors for cardiovascular disease and urolithiasis are presented in the article. Data on the prevalence of urolithiasis are discussed, as well as the pathogenetic mechanisms of stone formation in patients with metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension. The bi-directional relationship of cardiovascular risk factors and urolithiasis is generalized.
