Aim: This study was designed to compare between the use of Khoury's bone shell technique vs titanium-reinforced PTFE membrane for 3D-ridge augmentation of atrophic posterior mandible.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen patients were equally and randomly assigned to either the Khoury or PTFE group. In Khoury group, a mandibular bone block was harvested, split and then fixed to augment the mandibular defect using osteosynthesis screws.
To assess the ideal interval between repeated extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) for renal stones. Eligible patients with a single renal stone ≤20 mm who required SWL were randomly assigned to one of three groups based on intervals between first and second sessions.

Materials And Methods: Children 8-18 years old with severe primary monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis unresponsive to alarm therapy, desmopressin, and anticholinergics were screened for eligibility. After excluding children with daytime urinary symptoms, constipation, underlying urological, neuropsychiatric, endocrinological, or cardiac conditions, patients were randomly and equally assigned to 10 mg fluoxetine once daily or placebo for 12 weeks.
