Background: Continuous peripheral nerve blocks offer advantages over single-injection blocks, including extended analgesia and reduction in opioid consumption. These benefits require that the perineural catheter remain intact for the duration of the planned local anesthetic infusion. Mechanical displacement of catheters, leaking, and consequent failure are known complications.

Materials And Methods: Patients with type Ia glycogen storage disease were prospectively enrolled from our metabolic clinic.
Purpose: Previous studies suggest that intravesical administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce the troublesome voiding symptoms and pain related to ureteral stenting. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a long-acting local anesthetic, ropivacaine, injected submucosally into the bladder to control ureteral stent-associated symptoms.
Materials And Methods: A randomized, single-blinded, study approved by our Institutional Review Board of adult patients scheduled for ureteroscopic stone surgery and possible stent placement was conducted.
Objective: To assess possible underlying metabolic abnormalities in three sets of monozygotic twins, to evaluate the interplay among the factors of kidney stone formation, a complex multifactorial process influenced by environmental, genetic and anatomical factors.
Patients And Methods: Three sets of identical twins with either cystine or calcium oxalate stones were identified. Demographic data, medical histories and the results of 24-h urine testing, with samples collected on self-selected diets, were reviewed and analysed.
