In vitro litholytic activity of some medicinal plants on urinary stones
ConclusionOur experiment failed to demonstrate a significant effect of the tested plant extracts to dissolve three types stones in vitro. However, we observed that only the extract of the seeds of T. foenum-graecum has a better effect on dissolution of cystine and carbapatite stones probably resulting from formation of complexes between stones and polyphenols or flavonoids present in the extracts.

Un cas de textilome renal simulant une tumeur de découverte anatomopathologique
ConclusionLes fibres de textile peuvent déclencher une réaction inflammatoire aiguë avec formation d’un abcès périrénal ou chronique en cas d’asepsie entrainant la constitution de foyers de fibrose, d’enkystement et de calcification. Le textilome rénal pose des difficultés diagnostiques à cause de l’absence de signes cliniques et radiologiques pathognomoniques. La présence d’une masse rénale associée à un antécédent de chirurgie rénale du coté homologue doit faire évoquer en premier un textilome. Le traitement est chirurgical. Une néphrectomie partielle sera le traitement de choix. Le meilleur ...
