Summary: The relative crystal growth rate (Vcr) of calcium oxalate
(Caox)and a number of other parameters were determined in 17-h dailyand 7-h
nocturnal fractions of whole urine from 20 recurrent Caoxstone formers(SF)
and 29 age-matched male normal controls (NC).Vcr, which was determined by
the gel crystallization method,showed the largest difference between SF and
NC among allparameters under investigation. Significantly higher concentr.
ofCa and lower concentr. of thermodynamic and kinetic effectors ofCaox
crystal growth were responsible for the higher crystalgrowth rates observed
in SF as compared with NC. However, otherprorerties of urine or the urinary
tract must be accounted for inthe genesis of Coax stones.

Summary: There were 142 injuries to the urogenital organs in 115 of
4,425 wounded patients treated at our clinical hospital during 18 months of
warfare in Osijek, Croatia. Kidney injury was the most common ( 64 cases)
and urethral injury ( 4 ) the least common, with a relatively large number
of ureteral injuries ( 11). Two-thirds of the injuries were associated with
other trauma, most frequently abdominal injuries. The mortality rate was
high ( 15.6 %), explained by the proximity of the battlefield and resulting
rapid patient transport ( average 52.1 minutes), which excluded the
possibility of separating out the moribund cases, as well as the
exceptional destructive power of modern explosives and firearms, and
associated wounds of the vital organs. Of the wounded 60 % were members of
the Croatian armed forces, 1 was a member of the United Nations
Professional Force and 39.13 % were civilians. Surgical intervention was
characterized by a tendency toward conservation and the avoidance of organ
sacrifice. Thus, nephrectomy was performed in only a quarter of the cases
of renal injury. Nevertheless, orchiectomy was performed in two-thirds of
the cases of testicular injury. In 5 of 8 cases of corpus spongiosum injury
the tunica albuginea was primarily reconstructed with free transplantation
of the fascia lata. For ureteral injury resection with primary suture
yielded good results in contrast to stents without resection in cases of
ureteral wall contusion, which resulted in ureteral stenosis in our
patients.
