Article Synopsis
- Nephrolithiasis, a common kidney condition that can lead to kidney failure, is influenced by oxidative stress, prompting research into agents that may alleviate this issue, such as MC extract, known for its antioxidant properties.* -
- The study involved Wistar albino rats divided into four groups, where nephrolithiasis was induced using ethylene glycol, and the effects of preventive and therapeutic MC extract were evaluated through urine and tissue analysis.* -
- Results showed that MC extract successfully normalized urine and tissue parameters associated with oxidative stress and tissue damage, indicating potential for clinical use in preventing kidney stone formation through further research.*
Introduction: Ionizing radiation is used daily during endourological procedures. Despite the dangers of both deterministic and stochastic effects of radiation, there is a lack of knowledge and awareness among urologists. This study reviewed the literature to identify the radiation exposure (RE) of urologists during endourological procedures.

Recently, the world of RIRS has changed dramatically with the development of three game-changers: thulium fiber laser (TFL), smaller size single use digital flexible ureterosopes and intraoperative intrarenal pressure (IRP) measurement devices. We aimed to clarify the impact of UASs on IRP, complications and SFRs and put its indications in perspective of these three major technological improvements.

Methods: A 22-question survey was specifically developed by the European Association of Urology (EAU) young academic urologists (YAU) and uro-technology (ESUT) groups and globally distributed via SurveyMonkey to almost 2000 members of Endourology Society. The questionnaire included questions dedicated to the demographics and general practice of the participating urologists.
