The disintegration and dissolution of urinary calculi
A brief investigation was made of various enzymes such as urease in conjunction with a wetting agent, ficin, steapsin, and hyaluronidase as aides in the :in vitro" dissolution of calculi in "G"⁷ solution. This investigation indicated that a more effective solvent was needed.

Profiling of urinary metabolites in human pregnancy
Maternal urinary metabolites (organic acids and steroids) in human pregnancy were profiled by gas-chromatographic methods. Urine specimens were collected from pregnant women at two time intervals in gestation (12½-15½ weeks and 24½-27½ weeks). A group of nonpregnant women was also investigated. The …

Enzyme-Linked Electrochemical Detection of Urinary Sarcosine
… that may be useful in PCa diagnostics is urinary sarcosine (N-methylglycine). However, its utility is confounded by several factors: the small differences in metabolite concentration that separate healthy (~ 0.2 µM) and sick (~ 5.0 µM) patient populations, the difficulties associated with …

Noninvasive disease diagnostics using engineered synthetic urinary biomarkers
Accurate, timely, and effective diagnosis is the first step in appropriately treating disease. Many diseases have confusing symptoms, nonspecific biomarkers, or require invasive biopsy; these factors and others contribute to the low rates of early diagnosis for noncommunicable diseases like cancer, …

The effects of boron supplementation on bone mineral density, blood and urinary calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and urinary boron in female athletes
The effects of boron supplementation on blood and urinary minerals were studied in 17 female college athletes and 11 sedentary college control subjects. The subjects were similar in age (19.8 ± 1.4 and 20.3 ± 1.1 years for athletes and sedentary groups, respectively) and weight (61.8 ± 9.1 and 59.6 …

Reliability of Urinary Bladder Pressure Measurement in Critical Care
… a predictor of enteral nutrition tolerance (EN). Urinary bladder pressure (UBP) is the gold standard for estimating IAP. Current recommendations for UBP measurement (UBPM) calls for the instillation of normal sterile saline (NSS) into the bladder while the patient is supine with a zero degree (0°) …
