[Percutaneous suprapubic bladder lithotripsy].

The authors present a case of multiple bladder stones in a patient with severe ankylosis of the lower extremities, treated via percutaneous suprapubic approach. The suprapubic tract was created with Teflon-coated dilators and an Amplatz tube and the stones were fragmented with the nephroscope and a pneumatic lithotriptor. The simplicity of the procedure and the ease of the manoeuvre accelerated the stone fragmentation process while avoiding unnecessary trauma of the urethra.

A study of rDNA magnification phenomenon in a repair-recombination deficient mutant of Drosophila melanogaster.

The rDNA magnification process consists of a rapid and inheritable rDNA increase occurring in bobbed males: in a few generations the bb loci acquire the wild-type rDNA value and reach a bb+ phenotype.--We have analyzed the rDNA magnification process in the repair-recombination-deficient mutant mei9a, both at the phenotypical and rDNA content levels. In mei9a bb double mutants the recovery of bb+ phenotype is strongly disturbed and the rDNA redundancy value fails to reach the wild-type level.
