The composition of the stone was determined in 24 paraplegic patients from whom 26 stones were surgically removed. Twenty-five of the 26 stones consisted of 90 per cent magnesium ammonium phosphate and 10 per cent carbonate apatite. The remaining single stone was composed of 90 per cent calcium oxalate and 10 per cent magnesium ammonium phosphate. Renal function improved significantly with the removal of the stones.

Hypokalaemia in pregnancy - Prevalence, underlying causes, and an approach to investigation.
Obstet Med
December 2024
Department of Obstetric Medicine and Endocrinology, Mater Hospital Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and aetiology of hypokalaemia in pregnancy.
Methods: This was a five-year retrospective audit of women who received care at a tertiary hospital, who developed hypokalaemia during pregnancy and within three weeks postpartum. Serum potassium and magnesium levels cause(s) of hospitalization and investigations for hypokalaemia were obtained from hospital records.
Spatial Visualization of A-to-I Editing in Cells Using Endonuclease V Immunostaining Assay (EndoVIA).

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing is one of the most widespread post-transcriptional RNA modifications and is catalyzed by adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs). Varying across tissue types, A-to-I editing is essential for numerous biological functions, and dysregulation leads to autoimmune and neurological disorders, as well as cancer. Recent evidence has also revealed a link between RNA localization and A-to-I editing, yet understanding of the mechanisms underlying this relationship and its biological impact remains limited.

Objective: Trace elements are essential for the biochemistry of the cell. Their reference values have been found to differ considerably in pregnant women stratified by age, place of residence, anthropometric status, and length of pregnancy. In optimal amounts, these elements reduce the risk of pregnancy complications.

Department of Chemistry University of California, Riverside, Riverside, California 92521, United States.
To realize an energy storage transition beyond Li-ion competitive technologies, earth-abundant elements, such as Mg, are needed. Carborane anions are particularly well-suited to realizing magnesium-ion batteries (MIBs), as their inert and weakly coordinating properties beget excellent electrolyte performance. However, utilizing these materials in actual electrochemical cells has been hampered by the reliance on the Mg salts of the commercially available [HCBH] anion, which is not soluble in more weakly binding solvents apart from the higher glymes.

Department of Urology, Roefler Memorial Hospital, Pruszków, Poland.
Introduction: Renal colic pain is considered one of the most excruciating pains ever experienced and ranks as one of the most common urological emergencies. Despite existing established recommendations, new therapies and their combinations are continuously being tested. The aim of this systematic review is to analyze and compare studies involving pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions used in the treatment of renal colic pain.
