Chrysanthemum stone, sometimes called "flower stone," is a stone "flower" produced millions of years ago due to geological movement and natural formation in the rock. [1] The stone's pattern resembles the chrysanthemum flower.
Puccinia horiana is a microcyclic, autoecious rust, meaning that the fungus has two known spore stages: teliospores and basidiospores, as well as no known alternate host. [6] Similar to other microcyclic rusts, two-celled teliospores produce unicellular basidiospores which are then dispersed via air currents.
In a study of young adults in Greece (aged 21–50, mean age 40.9 years), the prevalence was found to be 7.35%. [4] While among urologic patients in South Korea (aged 29–89, mean age 61.9 years), the prevalence was 40.7%. [5] The prevalence is notably higher in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia, ranging from 68.8% to 70%. [3]
Although unusual, it is possible to have a common bile duct stone despite prior cholecystectomy. One study found that in patients diagnosed with choledocholithiasis, 28% had undergone prior cholecystectomy. Such stones are thought to be the result of stones missed at the time of the cholecystectomy, as opposed to the formation of new stones. [3]
Crack cocaine (Also known as Light, daytime, dubz, stone, white or crizzy) and Heroin (Also known as Dark, nasty, brown, nighttime, skag, or smack) often consumed by addicts (Also known as smack rats, nitties, bag heads, junkies, cats or feinds) more time will display extreme symptoms of emaciation.
For example, up to 98% of small stones (less than 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter) may pass spontaneously through urination within four weeks of the onset of symptoms, [7] but for larger stones (5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.4 in) in diameter), the rate of spontaneous passage decreases to less than 53%. [85]
Internal bleeding (also called internal haemorrhage) is a loss of blood from a blood vessel that collects inside the body, and is not usually visible from the outside. [1] It can be a serious medical emergency but the extent of severity depends on bleeding rate and location of the bleeding (e.g. head, torso, extremities).
The causes of the disease are poorly understood, but it is suspected that genetics, diets and environmental causes may contribute. It is more common in those of low socioeconomic status who suffer from malnutrition. Typically it strikes between 50 and 70 years old, with neither men nor women more likely to acquire it. [2]
