... with age could be observed in repeated cystometries after sham treatment. X-Irradiation resulted in a triphasic response. After an early reversible decrease in bladder capacity (acute phase) complete recovery was observed within 30 days after irradiation. Following a symptom-free latent period of about 15...

... serum level and age were analyzed in Ill formers of urinary stones (57 Ca stones) and in 44 controls. Furthermore, 1,25-(OH) 2 -D serum levels as well as levels of Ca, phosphate and UA in serum and urine from formers of different urinary stones and controls were compared. 1,25-(OH) 2 -D serum levels...
