Article Synopsis
- The extraocular muscles (EOMs) are distinct from other skeletal muscles due to their remarkable resistance to muscular dystrophies and aging, making them unique in their ability to maintain function.
- EOMs have complex structural properties, including diverse fiber types and specialized innervation, which contribute to their ability to execute rapid and precise eye movements.
- Research into EOMs may provide valuable insights for developing treatments for other skeletal muscle disorders, as understanding their cellular and molecular resilience could inform therapeutic strategies.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of 'Bernoulli maneuver' (bringing the access sheath to horizontal plane) on operative time and stone free rates in patients undergoing mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Materials And Methods: All consecutive patients with a solitary kidney stone undergoing a mini-PCNL between 2015 and 2016 were included into this study. Patients were randomized either to standard prone or control (C) group patients or to tilted prone with 'Bernoulli maneuver' group (B) patients.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a fast, comfortable, and safe method of ureteral stent removal in women.
Methods: From February 2014 to July 2015, a retrospective multicenter controlled study including 82 female outpatients was conducted. The control group was composed of 46 patients who underwent stent removal using a 22F cystoscope.
Purpose: To investigate the usefulness of Plasticine biomodeling in surgical percutaneous management of complex renal stone.
Patients And Methods: A total of 32 patients with complex renal stones (complete staghorn stones or partial staghorn stone with multiple caliceal stones) were included in this study from 2012 to 2013. Computed tomography (CT) urography with three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions was used as standard preoperative imaging in all patients.
