The most frequent intraabdominal complication after lost stones are abscesses, which account for 65% of complications. The main risk factors are: old age, male gender, surgical difficulty, leakage of lithiasis of more than 1.5 cm or more than 15 stones, perihepatic location and pigmented gallstones. We report the case of a 73-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney failure and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Intrauterine device (IUD) migration completely into the abdominal cavity and half into the bladder to form a stone: a case report and mini-review.
BMC Urol
December 2024
Department of Urology II, First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China.
The intrauterine device (IUD) is an important and highly effective means of contraception. Migration of the IUD, post implantation, out of the uterus is an infrequent complication, and its subsequent migration into the urinary bladder with formation of secondary bladder calculi, is even more infrequently reported. The authors report a 51 year old woman who had had her last child delivered via cesarean section 16 years ago.

Species identification within the aphid genus Pemphigus Hartig, 1839 poses challenges due to morphological similarities and host-plant associations. Aphids of this genus generally exhibit complex life cycles involving primary hosts (poplars) and secondary (mostly unrelated herbaceous) host-plants, with some species relying solely on root-feeding generation. An example is a representative of the genus Pemphigus, trophically associated with grass roots, found in the High Arctic Svalbard archipelago.

Department of Urology, University of California Irvine, Orange, California, USA.
Ureteral wall thickness (UWT) was proposed as a potential predictor for spontaneous stone passage (SSP). In earlier studies, the effect could not be isolated from stone size. Accordingly, we sought to determine whether UWT, alone or combined with stone size, could enhance SSP predictability.

- Urolithiasis prophylaxis is crucial for those with kidney stones, as obesity increases the risk of recurrence.
- A study on patients with an average age of 52 showed that weight loss improved body water percentage but did not ensure proper hydration, leading to continued kidney stone issues.
- Findings suggest that obese patients should focus on reducing fat mass rather than just increasing water intake to prevent the recurrence of urinary stones.
Effects of different types of molds on the color difference, translucency, surface roughness, and hardness of a maxillofacial silicone elastomer.
J Oral Sci
December 2024
Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University.
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of dental stone molds and three dimensional (3D)-printed molds on the color difference, translucency, surface roughness, and hardness of maxillofacial silicones.
Methods: To prepare molds, a rectangular body 20 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness, was designed with computer-aided design software. Two different dental gypsum molds were prepared with the lost-wax technique.
