Context: Thulium fiber laser (TFL) emerged as a competitor of holmium:yttrium aluminum garnet (Ho:YAG) laser for the treatment of urinary stones.
Objective: To compare the efficacy between Ho:YAG and TFL for laser lithotripsy of renal and ureteral stones.
Evidence Acquisition: A literature search was conducted using PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases to identify reports published until May 2023.
Purpose Of Review: Urinary pH is an important factor related to renal stone disease, and it plays an essential role in stone prevention. Monitoring of urinary pH by patients at home provides information that can help to assess the treatment needed by each patient. We conducted a systematic review is to assess the available evidence concerning urinary pH monitoring methods along with their accuracy, cost, and usefulness by patients with urolithiasis.

The quadriceps angle (Q angle) is a value often taken as a reference for the alignment of the lower limbs.
Objective: To observe the changes of the Q angle in young football players, because of muscular effort, analyzing the differences between four groups of different ages and to determine whether the playing position might influence these variations.
