Occupational hazard in urolithiasis patients in Qatar: A single-center cross-sectional study.

Background: Urolithiasis is one of the most prevalent urological diseases and is associated with a substantial economic burden. Its prevalence varies according to geographical location. Qatar is a Middle Eastern country located in the Afro-Asian Stone Belt.

Efficacy of sexual intercosurse in the spontaneous passage of distal or intramural ureteral stones: a randomsized controlled trial.

Background: The role of sexual intercourse as an alternative treatment approach for ureteral stones (UTSs) is a recent area of investigation with only small sample-sized studies. This study aims to evaluate the role of sexual intercourse in the spontaneous passage of distal or intramural UTSs via a larger sample size.

Materials And Methods: The study population included cases that had either a distal ureteric or an intramural radiopaque stone.

The sclerosing Sertoli cell tumor of the testis is an extremely rare entity.

We present the case of a 31-year-old single male patient, who was admitted through emergency unit with painless hard nodule of his left testis of 6 months' duration. Ultrasound scan of the scrotum showed a fairly well-defined hypo echoic area in the left testicular parenchyma in its middle part, measuring approximately 10 × 9 mm in size. We performed left inguinal radical orchidectomy.

Primary localised amyloidosis of the urinary bladder: A recurrent and progressive disease.

Primary amyloidosis results from the deposition of amyloid protein fibrils in the extracellular space and rarely involves the urinary bladder. We present a 41-year-old man who was diagnosed with primary amyloidosis of the urinary bladder and underwent two sessions of transurethral resection of the bladder mass 4 years prior. Recently, the patient was admitted through the emergency with painless frank haematuria.
