Antegrade Ureteral Stenting in Pediatric Patients: Introducing a Novel Ureteral Morphological Classification and a New Perspective on Functional Success.

: The objective of the current research is to assess the benefits that come with antegrade ureteral stenting coupled with imaging techniques in children and also provide a new classification based on the ureter's morphological elements. : Between 2011 and 2024, 107 antegrade stent placement procedures performed in 71 pediatric patients aged 0-12 years who could not undergo retrograde double-J stent placement were retrospectively analyzed. According to the morphologic structure of the ureter, four categories were classified as normal, straight/slightly angled, S-shaped, and spiral-shaped.

Mortality Factors in Crush Syndrome.

Background: Crush Syndrome is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following large-scale catastrophic earthquakes. Since there are no randomized controlled studies on Crush Syndrome, knowledge on this subject is limited to expert experience. The primary objective is to analyze the epidemiological and demographic characteristics, clinical outcomes, and mortality factors of earthquake victims after the Pazarcik and Elbistan earthquakes on February 6, 2023.

Bronchial artery embolization in patients with life-threatening massive hemoptysis: comparison of the efficacy and safety of particulate embolizing agents and n-2-butyl-cyanoacrylate.

Objective: Comparing the efficacy and safety of particulate [microspheres/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)] and non-particulate [n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA)] agents used as the embolic agents for bronchial artery embolization (BAE) intervention in patients experiencing massive hemoptysis.

Patients And Methods: A total of 58 individuals (47 male, 11 female, standard deviation = 53.9 ± 14.
