PCNL vs RIRS in management of stones in calyceal diverticulum: outcomes from a global multicentre match paired study that reflects real world practice.

Introduction: Calyceal diverticulum (CD) is the outpouching of a calyx into the renal parenchyma, connected by an infundibulum. Often associated with recurrent stones, common surgical options include percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). We aim to present the real-world practises and outcomes comparing both approaches and the technical choices made.

Recurrent urethral stricture with dual lumen managed by a single stage dorsal Onlay buccal mucosal graft Urethroplasty: a case report.

Urethral stricture is defined as any abnormal narrowing throughout the entire length of the male urethra. Anterior urethral stricture is the most common site which accounts for more than 90% of cases in developed countries. One of the possible long-term outcomes of urethral stricture treatment is stricture recurrence.

Electronic Cigarettes: Impact on Lung Function and Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide Among Healthy Adults.

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are rapidly becoming an alternative form of nicotine consumption worldwide and a disruptive element in the global health diplomacy. This study aimed to investigate the impact of e-cigarettes on lung function and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) among young healthy male adults. Sixty apparently healthy male volunteers were recruited and divided into two groups.
