Article Synopsis
- Nephrolithiasis, a common kidney condition that can lead to kidney failure, is influenced by oxidative stress, prompting research into agents that may alleviate this issue, such as MC extract, known for its antioxidant properties.* -
- The study involved Wistar albino rats divided into four groups, where nephrolithiasis was induced using ethylene glycol, and the effects of preventive and therapeutic MC extract were evaluated through urine and tissue analysis.* -
- Results showed that MC extract successfully normalized urine and tissue parameters associated with oxidative stress and tissue damage, indicating potential for clinical use in preventing kidney stone formation through further research.*
Purpose: Radiation exposure is affected by C-arm fluoroscopy device positioning during percutaneous renal puncture. Our aim was to compare the exposure of surgeon's lens, hand and chest with a fluoroscopy protocol replicated in different C-arm positions.
Materials And Methods: A standardized fluoroscopy protocol was created using water-equivalent solid phantoms to replicate a surgeon and patient.
