Stone location, shape, and size were estimated on occlusal film, panoramic radiograph, and CT scans.
Panoramic radiograph and CT scan were comparable in precise preoperative estimation of stone size, regardless of stone location.
Initial stone location also influences the likelihood of spontaneous stone passage.
Stone location in the MPD was defined as head or body/tail.
In addition, using multiple logistic regression analysis, we examined the factors of stone clearance (alcohol etiology, stone location, stone number, stone size, and success/failure of guidewire negotiation).
In our study, based on the results of univariate and multivariate analysis, as shown in Tables 7 and 8, no significant differences were observed between stone clearance and the different etiologies (alcohol, stone location, stone size, and stone number).
Out of these, 1,361 patients had complete data with relevant medical and urolithiasis history, complete follow-up information from successive ED visits, current medication, discharge and admission status, size, number, side and stone location, and radiological findings, and were included in the analysis.
My husband teased me by asking: "What if you've committed yourself to the wrong part of God – what if God is more of a judging God than a loving one?" "I'll print out my map to Iowa and my Cold Stone Creamery locations," I said.
Maybe I would take a list of Cold Stone Creamery locations with me – nothing more calorie-rich than the commercial ice-cream with the highest fat content (I know, I used to work there) to keep you fuelled in the apocalyptic age.
Here, we hypothesized that the design property of longevity in unifacial tools would be less important to non-colonizing post-Clovis foragers because they would have been more familiar with environments and stone outcrop locations, and thus better able to tailor their unifacial tools to habitat-specific functional and scheduling requirements.
