“…(2004) who stated that more watery drinking to form 2 liters/day of urine is one of the most significant and the low coast form of conventional procedure to decrease stone-reappearance (19). Its credible that large quantity of fluid intakes should lead to an increased volume and decrees concentration of urine and increased rate of urination and decrease urinary super saturation, so reducing the salts crystallization and stone development (20) ).…”

Objectives : To assess the patient's knowledge about avoidance of recurrent Urolithiasis, and to identify the relationship between some variables (age, gender, level of education) and patient's knowledge. Methodology: a descriptive quantitative study is carried out at Al-kindy teaching hospital in 15th July 2013 to 20th August 2014. A non-probability (Purposive sample) of (100) patient's with Urolithiasis who attended to Extra Corporal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) department within (18) years and more. The data are collected through the use of semi-constructed questionnaire, which consists of two parts (1) Sociodemographic data of that consist (6) items, (2) factors contributed to recurrent Urolithiasis consist (43), by means of direct interview technique with the Urolithiasis patients. Reliability of the questionnaire is determined through a pilot study and the validity through a panel of (12) experts. The data were described statistically and analyzed through use of the descriptive and inferential statistical analysis procedures. Results: The findings of the present study indicate that the patients have poor knowledge about stone formation and composition, and the factors contributed to stone recurrence about life style related to diet, fluid intake, family and medical history, physical activities, medication intake. Conclusion: The study concludes that stone disease more common in male than female, the most of them were married and low economic status and have family history of urinary stone, also the study concluded that the decrease fluid intake, increase( calcium, oxalate, protein) diet, decrease physical activities, medication intake are the essential cause of Urolithiasis. Recommendations: The study recommends that all urological departments in hospitals in every governorate in Iraq should include instructional division about the avoidance of recurrent Urolithiasis, provide patients with a booklet about the risk factors of recurrent Urolithiasis.

The problem in this work is the computational characterization of cyclodextrins, crown ethers and hyaluronan (HA) as hosts of inclusion complexes for nanosized drug delivery vehicles in pharmaceutical formulations. The difficulty is addressed through a computational study of some thermodynamic, geometric and topological properties of the hosts. The calculated properties of oligosaccharides of D-glucopyranoses allow these to act as co-solvents of polyanions in water. In crown ethers, the central channel is computed. Mucoadhesive polymer HA in formulations releases drugs in mucosas. Geometric, topological and fractal analyses are carried out with code TOPO. Reference calculations are performed with code GEPOL. From HA to HA·3Ca and hydrate, the hydrophilic solvent-accessible surface varies with the count of H-bonds. The fractal dimension rises. The dimension of external atoms rises resulting 1.725 for HA. It rises going to HA·3Ca and hydrate. Nonburied minus molecular dimension rises and decays. Hydrate globularity is lower than O(water), Ca(2+) and O(HA). Ca(2+) rugosity is smaller than for hydrate, O(HA) and O(water). Ca(2+) and O(water) accessibilities are greater than hydrate. Conclusions are drawn on: (1) the relative stability of linear/cyclic and shorter/larger polymers; (2) the atomic analysis of properties allows determining the atoms with maximum reactivity.
