We report the first multicenter, prospective, randomized noninferiority controlled trial of steerable ureteroscopic renal evacuation (SURE) for nephrolithiasis treatment. Candidates for laser lithotripsy ≥18 years with ≥1 renal stone ≥7 mm and 7-20 mm stone burden were randomized 1:1 SURE ureteroscopy (URS). SURE was performed using the CVAC Aspiration System, a novel steerable irrigation-aspiration catheter.

Methods: HF hospitalizations were obtained from the Nationwide Readmissions Database 2016 to 2019. Centers performing at least 1 heart transplant or left ventricular assist device were classified as ATCs.
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing literature by investigating the determinants of the profitability of Islamic and conventional banks in the Middle East region and revealing the most important factors for these two types of banks. Few papers have studied the performance of Islamic banks and compared their performance with conventional banks. The results from these limited research papers are also various, mainly because the sample sizes are small, or they have analysed data only from one country.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how socioeconomic status (SES) affects the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices and outcomes for patients in cardiogenic shock (CS).
- Researchers analyzed hospitalizations from 2016 and found that patients from higher SES areas were older but had fewer health issues, leading to a higher use of MCS devices without differences in overall mortality.
- Ultimately, while MCS utilization increased with SES, the study concluded that mortality rates remained consistent across all SES groups.
Objective: To identify individual-level factors associated with hospital readmission among individuals with SSc-associated pulmonary hypertension (SSc-PH).
Methods: Individuals enrolled in the Pulmonary Hypertension Assessment and Recognition of Outcomes in Scleroderma (PHAROS) registry contributed clinical data related to SSc-PH disease severity and hospital admissions. Readmission was defined as a subsequent hospitalization within 12 months of any hospital discharge.
