Medical applications and bioeffects of extracorporeal shock waves
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the role of cavitation in kidney and gallbladder fragmentation by shock wave and found that cavitation is a major mechanism of tissue damage. But, the mechanism of kidney and salivary stones fragmentation by a tensile wave is still controversial.

Sol-gel synthesis of zirconia barrier coatings
M. Shane,Martha L. Mecartney +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for applying zirconia barrier coatings using a solgel method is described, and the coatings of 8 wt % yttria-stabilized ZIRconia are applied by spin coating a solution containing zirconsium alkoxides and yttrium acetate on to stainless steel substrates.

Fragmentation of biliary calculi with tunable dye lasers.
TL;DR: The pulsed dye laser can effectively fragment biliary calculi when transmitted through a small-diameter quartz fiber and may be useful as a tool for fragmenting retained common duct stones.

Effects of annealing temperature on the structural and photoluminescence properties of nanocrystalline ZrO2 thin films prepared by sol–gel route
TL;DR: In this paper, the defect states in the nanocrystalline zirconia thin films play an important role in the energy transfer process and the luminescence dependence on defects in the film makes it suitable for luminescent oxygen-sensor development.

Composition and structure of urinary stone
TL;DR: Analysis by the crystallographic technics of polarization microscopy and x-ray diffraction photography permit accurate identification of all parts of the stone, including a very small nucleus, and are preferable to chemical methods.

Human Stones: Limited studies give some details of composition, rates of growth, distribution, and possible causes
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction studies have shown that there are several different kinds of human urinary calculi, with different age, sex, period, and geographical distributions, and it seems certain that, once a suitable seed is formed, epitaxy is largely responsible for deposition from urines that would otherwise remain supersaturated until voided.
