After extracorporeal lithotripsy observing tiny fragments in the strainer after voiding which are the remains of the stone that has been passed would be the best indicator that the treatment has been effective.

Extracorporeal lithotripsy is a procedure used to break stones inside the bile ducts, urinary tract, or pancreatic duct using a machine called a lithotripter which produces a series of shock waves that are targeted using X-ray.

A surgeon uses an abdominal X-ray or CT scan to determine whether the treatment was successful or not, using X-ray surgeon can locate any fragment of stone that has remained within the kidney or ureter.

Answer:  The number of available symptomatic treatments has markedly enhanced the care of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Once thought to be “untreatable”, patients with ALS today clearly benefit from multidisciplinary care. The impact of such care on the disease course, including rate of progression and mortality, has surpassed the treatment effects commonly sought in clinical drug trials. Unfortunately, there are few randomized controlled trials of medications or interventions addressing symptom management which has resulted in the need for physicians to base their selection of specific therapies upon personal experience and anecdotal reports (1 Forshew). In this review, we will provide the level of evidence, when available, for each intervention that is currently considered “standard of care” by consensus opinion.

Suppose two individuals develop benign (non-cancerous) tumors that produce symptoms because they occupy space and crowd adjacent
RSB [31]

Answer:

A tumor refers to a lump or mass of tissue, which may look like an inflammation. However, not all tumors are cancerous. The development of a tumor takes place when the proliferation of cells takes place too briskly.  

The size of a tumor can vary in size, that is, from a large mass to a tiny nodule, on the basis of the type, and it can appear almost anywhere on the body. There are primarily two type of tumor known. These are benign, that is, non-cancerous and malignant, that is, cancerous.  

In the given case, the patient possessing a tumor in the vertebral cavity or the canal would likely develop symptoms first. This is due to the fact that vertebral cavity exhibits less space in comparison to the abdominopelvic cavity. Therefore, the tumor would interfere with the muscles, nerves, and other parts of the body before the abdominopelvic tumor would develop large enough to disturb the organs present in that cavity.
