Article Synopsis
- Intravesical injections of botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) are used to treat neurogenic overactive bladder and/or detrusor overactivity in patients with multiple sclerosis, but their long-term effectiveness is unclear.
- A study involving 196 MS patients assessed the mid-term continuation rate and identified specific risk factors for discontinuation, finding that 81.1% continued treatment after 5 years.
- The research indicated that the Expanded Disability Status Scale and the type of MS significantly influenced the likelihood of discontinuation, with those having one or more risk factors being more prone to stop treatment.
Background: Lithotripsy with holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser is the current gold standard for treating stones of the upper urinary tract (UUT). The recently introduced thulium fiber laser (TFL) has the potential to be more efficient and as safe as Ho:YAG.
Objective: To compare the performance and complications between Ho:YAG and TFL for UUT lithotripsy.
Background: Surgery is the treatment of choice for pheochromocytoma. However, this surgery carries a risk of hemodynamic instability (HDI). The aim of this study was to report complications associated with this procedure, to identify risk factors for HDI during surgery, and its impact on postoperative outcomes.

The question addressed was 'Does a skeletonized internal thoracic artery (ITA) give fewer postoperative complications than a pedicled artery for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting?' Altogether, 98 papers were found using the reported search, of which 11 represented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. Papers about patency of skeletonized versus pedicled internal thoracic artery were excluded.
