Single crystals of Ni3Se2 (trinickel diselenide) and NiSe (nickel selenide) with stoichiometric chemical compositions were grown in evacuated silica-glass tubes. The chemical compositions of the single crystals of Ni3Se2 and NiSe were determined by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDS). The crystal structures of Ni3Se2 [rhombohedral, space group R32, a = 6.02813 (13), c = 7.24883 (16) Å, Z = 3] and NiSe [hexagonal, space group P63/mmc, a = 3.66147 (10), c = 5.35766 (16) Å, Z = 2] were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to yield R values of 0.020 and 0.018 for 117 and 85 unique reflections, respectively, with Fo &gt; 4σ(Fo). R32 is a Sohncke type of space group where enantiomeric structures can exist; the single-domain structure obtained by the refinement was confirmed to be correct by a Flack parameter of -0.05 (2). The existence of Ni-Ni bonds was confirmed in both compounds, in addition to the Ni-Se bonds. The value of the atomic displacement parameter (mean-square displacement) of each atom in NiSe was larger than that in Ni3Se2. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ITF2357(Givinostat).html ITF2357 mouse] The larger amplitude of the atoms in NiSe corresponds to longer Ni-Se and Ni-Ni bond lengths in NiSe than in Ni3Se2. The Debye temperatures, θD, estimated from observed mean-square displacements for Ni and Se in Ni3Se2, were 322 and 298 K, respectively, while those for Ni and Se in NiSe were 246 and 241 K, respectively. The existence of large cavities in the structure and the weak bonding force are likely responsible for the brittle and soft nature of the NiSe crystal.<br /><br /> We present a unique case with a ureteral fibroepithelial tumor originating from the ureter, which could be confused with a bladder tumor on ultrasound examination due to its movement in and out of the bladder.METHODSIn cystoscopy, a papillary tumor lesion emerging from the right ureteral orifice was seen. After scanning the other quadrants, however, the tumor was not observed at the right ureteral orifice. It was then protruded back into the bladder. The tumor was seen several times to protrude into the bladder and return to the ureter, possibly due to ureteral peristalsis. Then, a semi-rigid ureteroscope was introduced through the right ureteric orifice, and the tumor was excised in one piece using Holmium laser fiber with365μm of diameter. The size of the removed tumor was approximately 8 cm long. A double-j stent of 4.8 Fr was placed in the ureter.RESULTSThe patient was discharged on the first day without complications. The fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter, which consist of the stroma of mesoderm ori ureteroscope was introduced through the right ureteric orifice, and the tumor was excised in one piece using Holmium laser fiber with 365μm of diameter. The size of the removed tumor was approximately 8 cm long. A double-j stent of 4.8 Fr was placed in the ureter. RESULTS The patient was discharged on the first day without complications. The fibroepithelial polyps of the ureter, which consist of the stroma of mesoderm origin, covered with histologically normal or hyperplastic urothelial epithelial cells, are extremely rare tumors. It is important to distinguish these polyps from urothelial cancers, since these two entities are different in treatment and prognosis, although similar in symptoms and imaging procedures. CONCLUSIONS Minimally invasive treatment techniques can be safely applied in the treatment of such exceedingly rare tumors.We present a clinical case of an asymptomatic 61-year-old man was found to have a left kidney mass. Ultrasound and CT showed a 6 x 5 cms mass with calcifications. Histologic examination of the radical nephrectomy specimen revealed a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. The unique feature of this case is the type of calcifications present in a tumor of this category. To our knowledge, were port the first case of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma with peripheral linear calcifications. A literature review onchromophobe renal cell carcinoma with calcifications is performed.<br /><br /> Bacterial presence, anatomic anomalies and metabolic alterations increase the risk of stone formation in patients with neobladders. These patients sometimes require medical or surgical procedures. The aim of the current work is to analyze those alterations and medical treatment associated to it.METHODS A case of a 66 yo male who had undergone a cystectomy with neobladder 3 years ago. Currently present with a staghorn stone on the right kidney. Past medical history of stone formation as well as double J calcification.RESULTS The combination of medical and surgical treatment for stone was performed. Medical therapy will allow prevention of new stones.CONCLUSIONS Metabolic and chronic infections in patients with neobladders treated should decreased the new stone formation in patients with neobladders.<br /><br />Bacterial presence, anatomic anomalies and metabolic alterations increase the risk of stone formation in patients with neobladders.

The aim of this study is to present our experience and technique regarding Low Energy (LE)/High Frequency (HF) lithotripsy by using a 120-W Holmium laser (Lumenis®).METHODS We retrospectively analysed our prospectively maintained Retrograde Intra Renal Surgery (RIRS) database. Lithotripsy was performed using LE/HF settings with a Long Pulse Width (LPW) and consisted of thefollowing steps 1) contact Laser lithotripsy (LE/HF/LPW dusting - 0,5 J/50 Hz or 02 J/70 Hz); 2) extraction ofmain fragments; 3) non-contact Laser lithotripsy (LE/HF/Short Pulse Width Pop Dusting - 0,5 J /80Hz). Pre-operativeand peri-operative outcomes were collected. Post-operative complications were recorded according to Clavien-Dindo Grading System. Finally, all patients under went a CT scan at three months after RIRS to assess the success of procedure, defined as stone-free or presence of ≤4 mm fragments (Clinical Insignificant Residual Fragments - CIRF).
