Although shock wave lithotripsy is the most common treatment for urolithiasis‚ it can have side effects‚it can cause acute renal injury (62). Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have demonstrated renal injury in 63-85% of patients treated with shock wave lithotripsy (63). A recent retrospective case study with 19 year follow-up noted an association between shock wave lithotripsy and the development of hypertension

The authenticity of subliminal messages triggering brain activity is confirmed by recent research into brain imaging. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) shows that subliminal messages trigger specific areas in the brain without the conscious awareness of an individual (Kiesel 28). In 1957‚ the first experiment of the effectiveness of subliminal messages was carried out by
