After conceiving through assisted reproductive technologies (ART), parents may present to their pediatrician with concerns related to their child's neurodevelopment, including whether their child's health may be related to their use of ART. Pediatricians may be unfamiliar with the ART process and what the families endured up to this point, resulting in difficulty counseling parents through these discussions. Before presentation to the pediatrician, parents have undergone extensive evaluation with reproductive endocrinologists.

Materials And Methods: Patient information from an institutional renal transplant database was used to identify individuals who both did and did not form kidney stones following renal transplantation.
Objective: To assess if receiving sequential intravesical chemotherapy (Gemcitabine-Docetaxel, Gem-Doce) therapy was associated with similar oncologic efficacy to bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) in patients with treatment-naïve, high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC).
Methods: Single-center, retrospective cohort study of 80 patients with HR-NMIBC initiating first-line Gem-Doce or BCG between August 2020 and August 2023. Surveillance was conducted with cystoscopy, urine cytology, and cross-sectional imaging.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of non-narcotic analgesics on pain management in patients undergoing cystectomy as part of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), focusing on their relationship with morphine use during recovery.
- It found that compliance with non-narcotic medications like acetaminophen, gabapentin, and ketorolac is low, but ketorolac use significantly reduces narcotic consumption and pain scores on the first two postoperative days.
- Reasons for non-compliance include concerns about renal function, bleeding, and potential neurologic side effects associated with these medications.
Introduction: The study aim was to analyze the presentation, management, and follow-up of renal transplant patients developing bladder calculi.
Methods: Patients who underwent renal transplant with postoperative follow-up at our institution were retrospectively analyzed (1984-2023) to assess for the development of posttransplant bladder stones. All bladder stones were identified by computerized tomography imaging and stone size was measured using this imaging modality.
