Robotic nephropexy in case of symptomatic nephroptosis.

We found only a recent report of robotic-assisted nephropexy, in a young female with associated dismembered pyeloplasty. Herein we present the first case of isolated robotic nephropexy. A 34-year old female was referred to our Urological Division history of right flank pain and evidence at intravenous urography of a 5-6 cm descent of right kidney moving from supine to erect position.

Roasted full-fat kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and soyabeans (Glycine max) meals in broiler chicken diet.

An 8-week experiment was carried out to evaluate the performance of broiler chickens fed on diets containing either roasted full-fat soyabean meal (RSBM), roasted full-fat kidney bean meal (RKBM), cottonseed cake meal (CSM) or soyabean meal (SBM). A total of 240 unsexed, day-old-chicks were randomly assigned to four treatments so that there were 10 chicks per experimental unit in a randomized complete block design with three blocks and two replicates per block. Cumulative feed intake was depressed (p < 0.
