A 71-year-old woman developed lithium toxicity (serum concentration 2.1 mmol/l) because of increased absorption of urinary lithium from the bowel following urinary diversion with ileal conduits for stress incontinence (547).

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are comprised of a diverse array of diseases. UTIs occur frequently, and are responsible for approximately 8 million patient visits annually.1 In simplest of terms, a UTI is bacteria in the urinary tract seen either by wet prep or identified via bacterial culture, that does not represent contamination.

Neurokinins comprise a group of peptides involved in nerve transmission. Specific members of this class of mediators control such diverse functions as visceral regulation and CNS function. The nonpeptide neurokinin antagonist talnetant (32-6), for example, has been evaluated for its effect on irritable bowel syndrome and urinary incontinence as well as depression and schizophrenia [36]. The quinoline portion of this compound is prepared by base-catalyzed Pfitzinger condensation of isatin (32-1) with the methoxy acetophenone (32-2). The methoxy ether in the product (32-3) is next cleaved by means of hydrogen bromide (32-4). Amide formation with the chiral a-phenylpropylamine (32-5) affords the neurokinin antagonist talnetant (32-6) [37]. 

Invertebrate animals such as corals, jellyfish, and sea anemones are belonging to phylum Cnidaria. Corals are used as an ingredient in traditional medicine for treating various diseases such as pulmonary tuberculosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, urinary diseases, and cancer (Gopal et ah, 2008). Corals contain mostly Ca and minor amounts of Mg, Fe, and P. Calcined corals or calcium extracted from marine corals have shown effective as therapeutic agent for controlling cancer, diabetes, and many other deadly diseases. Corals with high species diversity in the tropical oceans are often rich in bioactive molecules and preferential...

Intrauterine growth retardation and anomalies of the fetal urinary tract, such as bilateral renal agenesis or obstruction of the urethra, are associated with oligohydramnios, an abnormally low amniotic fluid volume. Increased fluid volume is known as hydramnios (also termed polyhydramnios). Conditions associated with hydramnios are as diverse as maternal diabetes mellitus, severe Rli isoimmune disease, fetal esophageal atresia, multifetal pregnancy, anencephaly, and spina bifida.
