Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the necessity of double-J (DJ) stent insertion after tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for staghorn stones, comparing outcomes between two patient groups: one with DJ stents and the other with ureteral catheters.
- Results showed that while the operative time was longer for patients with DJ stents, they had shorter hospital stays and a higher stone-free rate; however, those without stents returned to normal life faster.
- The authors recommend using DJ stents due to the higher residual stone rate in those without stents, which can lead to more complications and longer recovery times.
Human SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes the current global COVID-19 pandemic. The production of an efficient vaccine against COVID-19 is under heavy investigation. In this study, we have designed a novel multiepitope DNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 using reverse vaccinology and DNA vaccine approaches.

Among them laccases are outstanding because they use molecular oxygen as a co-substrate instead of hydrogen peroxide as used by peroxidases. Bacterial laccase of Bacillus genus was first reported in Claus and Filip (Microbiol Res 152:209-216, 1997), since then more bacterial laccases have been found.
