Presence of residual calculi post PCNL is not rare. Patient might be subjected to a repeat PCNL which is done under general anesthesia, and not without the risk of morbidity. Second look PCNL which is done under local anaesthesia might reduce the chance of a repeat PCNL and its morbidity. The aim of our study is to audit retrospectively the outcome

The incorporation of magnesium ions into the calcium phosphate structure is of great interest for the development of artificial bone implants. This paper investigates the preparation of magnesium-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (Mg-BCP) via sol gel method at various concentrations of added Mg. The effect of calcinations temperature (ranging f rom

This paper presents a study on the development of an effective method to predict surface roughness for high speed end milling of AISI H13 tool steel using PCBN inserts. The response surface methodology (RSM) has been utilized for the postulation of a second order quadratic model in terms of cutting speed, axial depth of cut and feed. Sufficient num
