Language and culure are closely

Wih no excepion, Qaar’s unique

However, despie is eminence in

This is also complicaed by ‘Arabizi’,

The Peninsula

In mos cases, here is no known

reason why a sone orms in kid-

ney. Mos sones are made o cal-

cium. However, in mos cases, he

amoun o calcium and oher chemi-

cals in he urine and blood is normal.

You are more likely o orm a sone i

your urine is concenraed. For exam-

ple, i you exercise vigorously, i you live

in a ho climae or i you work in a ho

environmen when you may lose more

fluid as swea and less as urine.

Underlying causes are uncommonIn a small number o cases, a medi-

cal condiion is he cause. Various un-

common condiions can lead o high

levels o chemicals in he body, such as

calcium, oxalae, uric acid and cysine.

I he level o hese chemicals is high

enough in he urine, hey can orm in-

o sones.

Medicines

Taking cerain medicines can make

you more prone o making kidney

sones. Examples include diureics (wa-

er ables), some chemoherapy med-

icines or cancer and some medicines

used o rea HIV. However, many peo-

ple saely ake hese medicines wih-

ou developing kidney sones.You are also more prone o develop

kidney sones i you have:

• Recurren urine or kidney inec-

ions.

• A kidney wih scars or cyss on i.

• A close relaive who has had a kid-

ney sone.

Any tests needed

Tess o confirm he presence o a

kidney sone: I you have sympoms

ha sugges a kidney sone, special X-

rays or scans o he kidneys and ure-

ers may be done. These ess aim o

deec a sone and o check ha a

sone is no blocking he flow o urine.

Tess o rule ou or confirm an un-derlying cause: Kidney sones are com-

mon and in mos cases hey are no

caused by a known underlying disease.

However, some rouine ess may be

recommended o rule ou underlying

problems. In paricular, ess are more

likely o be advised i you have recur-

ring kidney sones, have sympoms o

an underlying condiion, have a amily

hisory o a paricular condiion or i a

sone orms in a child or young person.

Tess include:

• A blood es o check ha he kid-neys are working properly.

• Blood ess o check he level o

cerain chemicals such as calcium and

uric acid.

• Urine ess o check or inecion

and or cerain crysals.

• An analysis o he sone i you

pass i ou. To cach a sone, pass urine

hrough gauze, a ea srainer or a filer

such as a coffee filer.

I he pain eases wih pain relie

and you do no have sympoms o sug-

ges complicaions (mos people), hen

your docor may arrange any ess o

be done as an oupaien. However,

some people are admited o hospial

or srong painkillers and ess.

Possible complications

Complicaions rom kidney sones

are uncommon (alhough he pain a

he ime can be severe). Someimes a

large sone can compleely block he

passage o urine down one ureer. This

may lead o inecion or damage o

he kidney. This is usually avoided, as

X-rays or scans will deec a blockage

and large sones can be removed.

Treatment for kidney stones

The common siuaions: Mos

sones ha cause renal colic are small

and pass ou wih he urine in a day

or so. You should drink pleny o flu-

ids o encourage a good flow o urine.

Srong painkillers are ofen needed

o ease he pain unil you pass he

sone. No oher reamen is usually

needed.

Some sones ha orm and sick in

he kidney do no cause sympoms or

any harm. They can jus be lef i hey

are small. Someimes you may be o-

ered medicines o help he sone

pass hrough, such as niedipine or

amsulosin.

Some sones become suck in aureer or kidney and cause persis-

en sympoms or problems. In hes

cases, he pain usually becomes s

vere and you may need o be admi

ed o hospial. There are variou

reamen opions which include h

ollowing:

• Exracorporeal shock wave liho

ripsy (ESWL). This uses high-energ

shock waves which are ocused on

he sones rom a machine ousid

he body o break up sones. You he

pass ou he iny broken ragmen

when you pass urine.

• Percuaneous nephrolihoom

(PCNL) is used or sones no sui

ble or ESWL. A nephroscope (a hi

elescope-like insrumen) is passe

hrough he skin and ino he kidne

The sone is broken up and he ramens o sone are removed via h

nephroscope. This procedure is usual

done under general anaesheic.

• Ureeroscopy is anoher rea

men ha may be used. In his proc

dure, a hin elescope is passed up in

he ureer via he urehra and bladde

Once he sone is seen, a laser (or o

er orm o energy) is used o break u

he sone. This echnique is suiable o

mos ypes o sones.

• Sone removal can be done by

radiional operaion where he ski

has o be cu o allow access o h

ureer and kidney. This is only neede

in a very small number o cases wher

he above, newer echniques have no

worked or are no possible. I may bdone i you have a very large sone i

your kidney.

Anoher opion or a sone mad

purely rom uric acid (abou 1 in 2

sones) is o dissolve he sone. Th

can be done by drinking pleny o fl

ids and making he urine alkaline wi

medicaion.

How to prevent

Abou hal o people who hav

a kidney sone develop anoher on

Direced by Russian documenar-

ian Evgeny Afineevsky, using ooage

o he ensuing batles beween pro-

esers and Yanukovych’s goons, his

ologically i someimes conusingly.

There are many erms ha will be in-

iially unamiliar o some viewers, and

Despie he pleniul violence and

Two men in Maryland recenly

achieved Inerne inamy when

hey were emporarily banned

rom huning afer hey’d used

crossbows o shoo a deer on sae

land.

Or so hey hough.

The men had acually allen prey

o he ruse o a sae-owned robo-

ic deer, one o a growing number o

remoe-conrolled decoys being used

by American wildlie law enorcemen

o sop poachers. Across he naion, a

small army o deer, elk, bear, urkey, ox

and wol dummies has been deployed

o cach people who hun in he wrong

place, in he wrong season or oher-

wise illegally.

Here’s how i works: Officers ruck

a robo-animal ou ino he wild andsage i in an area where hey’ve been

ipped off abou illegal huning. Then

he officers si ou o sigh - in a ruck,

or maybe crouching in bushes - and

use a remoe o move he animal’s

head, ail or legs.

Demand or he decoys is huge,

said Jim Reed o he Humane Socie-

y Wildlie Land Trus, which donaes

hem o ani-poaching agencies. Game

wardens are chronically underunded,

he said, and robo-wildlie is pricey: A

deer coss abou $2,000; a black bear,

up o $5,000. Wardens also are busy—

he Humane Sociey says huners kill

a leas as many animals illegally as le-

gally.

The decoys look so alive be-cause, well, hey once were, said Bri-

an Wolslegel, owner o he Wiscon-

sin-based Cusom Roboic Wildlie.

Wolslegel — who does no hun bu

insead raises deer in his backyard -

makes he dummies ou o hides ac-

quired legally rom huners, game war-

dens or online. (You, oo, can purchase

a bear hide a axidermy.ne.)Each year he sells as many as 100

whieail deer, by ar his mos popu-

lar iem. Officers, he said, ell him hey

make as much as $30,000 in fines off

each ake animal.

“To have a poacher, a wild animal

and a law enorcemen officer a he

same scene, i’s like winning he lo-

ery,” he said. And hen i he poacheris caugh, “he animal already died in

he process.”

Robo-wildlie, i urns ou, are pre-

y hard o kill. I a bulle buss he mo-

or, i’s replaceable, Wolslegel said.

And mos have a Syrooam core, so

a high-powered rifle sho passes

hrough “wih minimal damage,” Reed

said. In ac, he said, some o he mo

realisic-looking decoys have bee

sho 100 imes or more. “The ypica

deer in he ores is no going o a

pear well-groomed. I may have a l

le mud suck on is back, some hair

ruffled rom he wind,” Reed said. Th

bes decoys, he said, “ge well-se

soned.”

Human DNA to help create faster and safer chips

D

may help engineers build as-

er, cheaper compuer chips byorming specific shapes hrough a

ar o paper olding, researchers re-

por.

“We would like o use DNA’s very

small size, base-pairing capabiliies

and abiliy o sel-assemble, and di-

rec i o make nanoscale srucures

ha could be used or elecronics,”

said Adam T Woolley, proessor o

chemisry a Brigham Young Univer-

siy (BYU).

The smalles eaures on chips

currenly produced by elecronics

manuacurers are 14 nanomeres

wide.Tha is more han 10 imes larger

han he diameer o single-srand-

ed DNA, meaning ha his gene-

ic maerial could orm he basis or

“The problem, however, is ha

DNA does no conduc elecrici-

y very well. So we use he DNA as

a scaffold and hen assemble oher

maerials on he DNA o orm elec-

ronics,” Woolley explained.

To design compuer chips similar

ley churns ou, Woolley, in collabo-

raion wih Rober C Davis and John

N. Harb a Brigham Young Universi-y, is building on oher groups’ prior

work on DNA origami and DNA na-

Kenneh Lee, an undergradu-

ae who works wih Woolley, has

buil a 3D, ube-shaped DNA ori-

gami srucure ha sicks up like a

The researchers’ ulimae goal

is o place such ubes, and oher

In essence, he DNA srucures

“Naure works on a large scale

How to play Kakuro:

The kakuro grid, unlike in sudoku, can be of any size. It has

rows and columns, and dark cells like in a crossword. And,

CROSSWORD

However, in a crossword the

numbers reference clues. In

a kakuro, the numbers are

all you get! They denote the

total of the digits in the row

or column referenced by the

number.

Within each collection of

cells - called a run - any of

the numbers 1 to 9 may be

used but, like sudoku, each

number may only be used

once.
