Article Synopsis
- * This research analyzed data from two multicenter studies, focusing on PCNL patients and assessing clinical signs within the first day after surgery.
- * Results showed both qSOFA and SIRS had 100% sensitivity, but qSOFA demonstrated higher specificity (90.8%) versus SIRS (72.4%) for predicting ICU admissions for vasopressor support.
To evaluate flexible ureteroscope working channels with a 1.06 mm digital borescope (Clarus Medical, Minneapolis, MN) and identify factors contributing to ureteroscope damage over time. We performed a single institutional prospective study of patients undergoing stone surgery using a nondisposable flexible ureteroscope.

- - Ciprofloxacin resistance (CipR) among gonococcal strains in San Francisco increased significantly from 2001 to 2006 but saw a decline from 2007 to 2009, revealing a trend of strain turnover affecting resistance levels.
- - A study collected 2,526 samples over nine years, determining CipR prevalence through analysis of 460 selected isolates with molecular typing techniques.
- - The findings suggest that improved national guidelines for treating gonorrhea may be more effective than local recommendations in managing CipR, as the drop in resistance coincided with a 2007 national directive to discontinue ciprofloxacin use.
