Genitourinary tuberculosis presenting as treatment resistant dysuria in a young patient: a case report.

Genitourinary tuberculosis is the second most common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. We present the case of a male patient in his late 20s who presented to his general practitioner with symptoms of recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI). Upon investigation his estimated glomerular filtration rate was found to be 61 ml/min/1.

Spontaneous resolution of a spontaneous steinstrasse: a case report.

A 63-year-old man presented with a 4-day history of right sided loin-to-groin pain. Computed tomography imaging revealed a 22 mm by 7 mm volume of contiguous ureteric calculi at the right vesicoureteric junction. Spontaneous steinstrasse was diagnosed with no recent history of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or other urological intervention to the right kidney.

Material fatigue testing of a new intraureteral wire stent (Zebrastent).

Purpose: Ureteral stenting plays a vital role in urology but still entails complications such as migration, encrustation, and blockage. We present our experience with a novel ureteral stent (Zebrastent) that had the complication of breakage which we explored by fatigue testing.

Materials And Methods: We developed a device that can reproduce the movements of the Zebrastent in vitro (bending and cranio-caudal movements).
