Spectrochimica Acta 62(1):pp. 181-188. Copyright 2005 Elsevier Abstract The phosphate minerals hannayite, newberyite and struvite have been studied by Raman spectroscopy using a thermal stage. Hannayite and newberyite are -1 characterised by an intense band at around 980 cm assigned to the ν1 symmetric stretching vibration of the HPO4 units. In contrast the symmetric stretching mode is -1 observed at 942 cm for struvite. The Raman spectra are characterised by multiple ν3 antisymmetric stretching bands and ν2 and ν4 bending modes indicating strong distortion of the HPO4 and PO4 units. Hannayite and newberyite are defined by bands -1 at 3382 and 3350 cm attributed to HOPO3 vibrations and hannayite and struvite by + bands at 2990, 2973 and 2874 assigned to NH4 bands. Raman spectroscopy has proven most useful for the analysis of these ‘cave’ minerals where complex paragenetic relationships exist between the minerals. Keywords: hannayite, newberryite, struvite, phosphate, Raman spectroscopy Introduction Interest in struvite formation also comes from the formation in urinary tracts and kidneys [1-6].

    Bladder Stones in Dogs & Cats By: Dr

    Navarro Small Animal Clinic 5009 Country Club Dr. Victoria, TX 77904 361-573-2491 www.navarrosmallanimalclinic.com Bladder Stones in Dogs & Cats By: Dr. Shana Bohac Dogs, like people, can develop a variety of bladder stones. These stones are rock-like structures that are formed by minerals. Some stones form in alkaline urine, whereas others form when the urine is more acidic. Bladder stones are very common in dogs, particularly small breed dogs. The most common signs that a dog or cat has bladder stones include blood in the urine, and straining to urinate. Blood is seen due to the stones bouncing around and hitting the bladder wall. This can irritate and damage the tissue and can cause cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). Straining to urinate occurs because of the inflammation and irritation of the bladder walls or urethra or muscle spasms. The stone itself can actually obstruct the flow of urine if it blocks the urethra. Small stones can get stuck in the urethra and cause a complete obstruction. This can be life threatening if the obstruction is not relieved since the bladder can rupture as more urine is produced with nowhere to go. Bladder stones form because of changes in the urine pH. Normal dog urine is slightly acidic and contains waste products such as dissolved minerals and enzymes such as urease. Urease breaks down excess ammonia in urine. An overload of ammonia in urine can cause bladder inflammation and thickening known as cystitis. There are a variety of stones that can form in the bladder, some that form in acidic urine, while others form in alkaline urine.

Made available through Montana State University’s ScholarWorks scholarworks.montana.edu Current insights into the mechanisms and management of infection stones Erika J. Espinosa-Ortiz1,2, Brian H. Eisner3, Dirk Lange4* and Robin Gerlach 1,2* Abstract | Infection stones are complex aggregates of crystals amalgamated in an organic matrix that are strictly associated with urinary tract infections. The management of patients who form infection stones is challenging owing to the complexity of the calculi and high recurrence rates. The formation of infection stones is a multifactorial process that can be driven by urine chemistry , the urine microenvironment, the presence of modulator substances in urine, associations with bacteria, and the development of biofilms. Despite decades of investigation, the mechanisms of infection stone formation are still poorly understood. A mechanistic understanding of the formation and growth of infection stones — including the role of organics in the stone matrix, microorganisms, and biofilms in stone formation and their effect on stone characteristics — and the medical implications of these insights might be crucial for the development of improved treatments. Tools and approaches used in various disciplines (for example, engineering, chemistry , mineralogy , and microbiology) can be applied to further understand the microorganism–mineral interactions that lead to infection stone formation.

    Struvite Urolithiasis in Dogs

    Glendale Animal Hospital 623-934-7243 www.familyvet.com Struvite Urolithiasis in Dogs (Struvite Stones in the Urinary Tract of Dogs) Basics OVERVIEW • ”Urolithiasis” is the medical term for the presence of stones (known as “uroliths”) in the urinary tract • The most common minerals found in the stones (uroliths) are used to name the particular stone; in this type of stone, struvite makes up the composition of the stone, and thus the name “struvite urolithiasis”; struvite is magnesium ammonium phosphate • The urinary tract consists of the kidneys, the ureters (the tubes running from the kidneys to the bladder), the urinary bladder (that collects urine and stores it until the pet urinates), and the urethra (the tube from the bladder to the outside, through which urine flows out of the body) • Struvite urolithiasis is the formation of crystalline stones (uroliths) composed of magnesium ammonium phosphate, or struvite, in the urinary tract GENETICS • The high incidence of struvite stones (uroliths) in some breeds of dogs (such as the miniature schnauzer) suggests a familial (runs in certain families or lines of animals) tendency; it is hypothesized that susceptible miniature schnauzers inherit some abnormality of local host defenses of the urinary tract that increases their likelihood to develop urinary tract infection (UTI) • Sterile struvite uroliths were found in a family of English cocker spaniels SIGNALMENT/DESCRIPTION OF PET Species • Dogs Breed Predilections • Miniature schnauzer, shih tzu, bichon frise, miniature poodle, cocker spaniel,

Piipa 9, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, 683006, Russia Received 1 July 2019; accepted 28 August 2019 Abstract—We overview recent data on the mineralogy of oxidizing-type fumaroles of the Tolbachik Volcano (Kamchatka, Russia), with the main focus on the chemical specifics of the minerals. The active fumarole fields of Tolbachik are the most prominent mineral- forming exhalative system of this type in the world. About 350 mineral species, including 123 minerals first discovered here, are reliably identified in the Tolbachik fumaroles. The species diversity and the specifics of this mineralization are due to the unique combination of the physicochemical conditions and mechanisms of its formation: high temperatures, atmospheric pressure, superhigh oxygen fugacity, gas transport of most of chemical elements, and direct deposition of many high-temperature minerals from volcanic gases with a specific geo- chemical composition, including strong enrichment in alkaline metals and chalcophile (“ore”) elements.

    The New IMA List of Minerals – A Work in Progress – Update: November 2012 In the following pages of this document a comprehensive list of all valid mineral species is presented. The list is distributed (for terms and conditions see below) via the web site of the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association, which is the organization in charge for approval of new minerals, and more in general for all issues related to the status of mineral species. The list, which will be updated on a regular basis, is intended as the primary and official source on minerals. Explanation of column headings: Name: it is the presently accepted mineral name (and in the table, minerals are sorted by name). Chemical formula: it is the CNMNC-approved formula. IMA status: A = approved (it applies to minerals approved after the establishment of the IMA in 1958); G = grandfathered (it applies to minerals discovered before the birth of IMA, and generally considered as valid species); Rd = redefined (it applies to existing minerals which were redefined during the IMA era); Rn = renamed (it applies to existing minerals which were renamed during the IMA era); Q = questionable (it applies to poorly characterized minerals, whose validity could be doubtful). IMA No. / Year: for approved minerals the IMA No. is given: it has the form XXXX-YYY, where XXXX is the year and YYY a sequential number; for grandfathered minerals the year of the original description is given. In some cases, typically for Rd and Rn minerals, the year may be followed by s.p.

ANANIEV Institute of Volcanology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Bulvar Piypa 9, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy, 683006, Russia Abstract Paufl erite, ␤-VO(SO4), is a new mineral species from the fumaroles of the Great Fissure Tolbachik eruption (GFTE), Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. It was found in 1977 in the fi rst cinder cone of the North breach of the GFTE. The mineral occurs as light green prismatic crystals up to 0.1 mm in length, associated with shcherbinaite (V2O5), an unknown Tl–Bi sulfate and fi nely crystalline Mg, Al, Fe and Na sulfates. Paufl erite is light green with a white streak and vitreous luster; the mineral is transparent and non-fl uorescent. The Mohs hardness is 3–4. Paufl erite is brittle, and without visible cleavage. The density is 3.36(4) (measured) and 3.294 g/cm3 (calculated). The mineral is biaxial, optically positive, ␣ 1.731(4), ␤ 1.778(2), ␥ 1.845(4), with 2Vmeas ≈ 90°, and 2Vcalc equal to 83°.
