    Notes: Abstract  Background:  We conducted a case-control study to examine the impact of coronal heart disease (CHD) risk factors on calcium oxalate (CaOX) stone formation.Methods:  Variables included body mass index (BMI), current alcohol use, smoking habit, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia. Data sufficient for analysis were obtained for 181 CaOX stone formers and 187 controls.Results:  Seven of 181 stone formers (3.9%) had a history of CHD compared with none of 187 control subjects (P = 0.007). In univariate logistic regression analysis, smoking habit (OR 4.41, 95% CI 2.85–6.84, P 〈 0.0001), hypertension (OR 4.24, 95% CI 2.61–6.91, P 〈 0.0001), hypercholesterolemia (OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.77–5.20, P 〈 0.0001) and BMI (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.04–1.17, P = 0.007) reached statistical significance. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, smoking habit (OR 4.29, 95% CI 2.68–6.86, P 〈 0.0001), hypertension (OR 3.57, 95% CI 2.11–6.07, P 〈 0.0001), and hypercholesterolemia (OR 2.74, 95% CI 1.51–5.00, P = 0.001) reached statistical significance, while BMI (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.99–1.12, P = 0.09) did not.Conclusions:  CaOX stone formers are significantly associated with several CHD risk factors, including smoking habit, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity.

    Evaluation of functional bladder capacity in Japanese children (1999)

    Notes: Background: Functional bladder capacity is a very important factor in the diagnosis of children with voiding disorders. Because Japanese children are thought to have somewhat smaller functional bladder capacity compared with Western children, the convenient formula (so-called Koff formula) bladder capacity (in ounces) = age (in years) + 2 is not suitable for use in Japanese children. Methods: We measured the bladder capacities of 131 Japanese children aged 5–15 years without clinical voiding pattern abnormalities to develop a practical guideline for the prediction of normal bladder capacity for age. Results: An approximate formula relates age and bladder capacity as: bladder capacity (mL) = 25 × (age (years) + 2). Conclusions: The formula presented is thought to be a useful guide for the diagnosis of small, normal or large bladder capacity and offers information on voiding disorders in Japanese children.
