Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how heavy metals and trace elements (HMTE) contribute to bladder cancer (BC), focusing on mechanisms such as mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and specific protein kinases.
- - Researchers analyzed samples from 125 BC patients and 72 controls, measuring various heavy metals and assessing genetic markers related to mitochondrial function and oxidative stress using advanced laboratory techniques.
- - Results revealed that elevated levels of several heavy metals in BC tissues correlated with increased expression of certain genes and markers associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress, highlighting the need to reduce exposure to these toxic elements to potentially lower BC risk.
Background: Our center policy is to promote right nephrectomy for pre-menopausal live donor donors. This is based on the traditional belief that ureteral obstruction and subsequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) of post-donation pregnancies would be more frequent among female donors with a solitary right (compared to left) kidney. Studies that support or dismiss our policy are lacking.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of BOLD-MRI using a 3-T scanner in discriminating causes of renal allograft dysfunction in the post-transplant period.
Material And Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 112 live donor-renal allograft recipients: 53 with normal graft function, as controls; 18 with biopsy-proven acute rejection (AR); and 41 with biopsy-proven acute tubular necrosis (ATN).
Objectives: To report the incidence, predictors, the impact of bladder perforation (BP), and our protocol of management in patients who underwent trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT).
Methods: This is a retrospective study, between 2006 and 2020, on patients who underwent TURBT for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Bladder perforation was defined as any full thickness resection of the bladder wall.
Objectives: To assess long-term voiding and renal function (RF) changes after radical cystectomy (RC) and orthotopic neobladder (ONB) surgery in women without disease recurrence.
Material And Methods: Women who underwent RC and ONB reconstruction between 1995 and 2011 were included in this study. Patients who developed disease failure or were lost to follow-up were excluded.
