Paradoxical Psoriasis Induced by Ustekinumab: A Comprehensive Review and Case Report.

Ustekinumab (UST), a biologic agent targeting interleukin-12 and interleukin-23, is widely used in the management of psoriasis and Crohn's disease. Despite its efficacy, there have been instances of paradoxical psoriasis induction or exacerbation in some patients during UST therapy. This paper offers a comprehensive review of reported cases of UST-induced paradoxical psoriasis, including a case from our clinic.

Determining whether previous SWL for ureteric stones influences the results of ureteroscopy as the second-line treatment: A clinical study.

The purpose of the study was to establish whether shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is a potential harmful first-line treatment for ureteric stones where ureteroscopy (URS) is necessary as a second-line treatment. Medical records of patients with ureteric stones who underwent either URS as the only therapy applied or SWL followed by URS over two years were retrospectively evaluated. In total, 158 patients were included: 79 patients in Group A (no SWL) and 79 in Group B (prior SWL before URS).
