Parecoxib Vs Paracetamol for Treatment of Acute Renal Colic Due to Ureteric Calculi: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To compare efficacy and safety of parecoxib and paracetamol for treatment of acute renal colic due to ureteric stones.

Materials And Methods: A randomized, double blinded, controlled trial included adult patients presented to emergency department with acute renal colic due to ureteric calculi between June 2019 and August 2020. Patients with hypersensitivity to either drug, peptic ulcer, coronary ischemia, peripheral vascular or cerebrovascular disease, hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh score >10) or chronic kidney disease stage 4 or 5 were excluded.

Long-Term Outcome of Phrenic Nerve Transfer in Brachial Plexus Avulsion Injuries.

Introduction: In brachial plexus injuries, useful recovery of arm function has been documented in most patients after phrenic nerve transfer after variable follow-up durations, but there is not much information about long-term functional outcomes. In addition, there is still some concern that respiratory complications might become manifest with aging. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of phrenic nerve transfer after a minimum follow-up of 5 years.

Development and validation of a score for emergency intervention in patients with acute renal colic secondary to ureteric stones.

: To develop and validate a scoring system to assess the need for emergency intervention (EI) in patients with uncomplicated acute renal colic (ARC) due to ureteric stones. : From May 2017 to April 2019, 382 adult patients presented to emergency department with ARC due to ureteral stones diagnosed by non-contrast computed tomography. Patients with solitary kidney, complications secondary to obstruction (intractable vomiting, fever or sepsis), bilateral ureteric stones, Stage ≥3 chronic kidney disease or those who underwent treatment of urolithiasis within the past 6 months were excluded.
