[Conflicts of interest in scientific publications and possible consequences : A critical analysis using the example of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)].

Technological advancements in endourology rely on close collaboration between medical expertise and industrial research. While this symbiosis is essential for medical progress, it also raises potential conflicts of interest. Using the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as an example, this study examines various mechanisms through which industry influences scientific evidence.

Management of Primary Bladder Neck Obstruction and Dysfunctional Voiding in Young Men: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background And Objective: Management of young men with primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) and dysfunctional voiding (DV) is challenging. We systematically reviewed evidence on diagnostic strategies and treatment outcomes in men aged 18-50 yr with PBNO or DV.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive bibliographic search on the Embase, Medline, and Cochrane Library databases in July 2024.

High-throughput platform for label-free sorting of 3D spheroids using deep learning.

End-stage liver diseases have an increasing impact worldwide, exacerbated by the shortage of transplantable organs. Recognized as one of the promising solutions, tissue engineering aims at recreating functional tissues and organs . The integration of bioprinting technologies with biological 3D models, such as multi-cellular spheroids, has enabled the fabrication of tissue constructs that better mimic complex structures and functionality of organs.

Development of a Bladder Injury Classification System for Endoscopic Procedures: A Mixed-methods Study Involving Expert Consensus and Validation.

Background And Objective: The widespread adoption and rapid integration of new technologies and techniques in endoscopic and laser bladder interventions, particularly endoscopic enucleation, have led to new types of bladder injuries. This underscores the need for an intraoperative injury classification system. This study aims to develop and validate the Bladder Injury Classification System for Endoscopic Procedures (BICEP), which standardizes the classification of complications and intervention requirements.
