Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) have emerged as the two surgical treatments of medication-refractory benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The comparative outcomes of en-bloc HoLEP with early apical release and RASP with modified Freyer's technique remain unexplored. Between 2018 and 2022, patients with medication-refractory BPH and prostate volume ≥80 g underwent HoLEP or RASP depending on clinical characteristics, patient choice, and surgeon preference.

Trinakria to hexaploid wheat variety HD2932 cotransferred a stripe rust resistance gene, , along with The cross of hexaploid recurrent parent HD2932 with tetraploid donor parent Trinakria produced pentaploid F plants. Fs were backcrossed with recurrent parent HD2932 to produce BCF generation.

After its release in 2011, HD2967 became susceptible to stripe rust and moderately susceptible to leaf rust. The leaf rust resistance gene was transferred into HD2967 from the durum wheat genotype Trinakria.

Crossed fused renal ectopia (CFRE) is a rare fusion anomaly of the kidneys, with a predisposition to calculus disease. Management of renal calculi in CFRE is not standardized because of paucity of literature. We managed a 32-year-old man with left to right CFRE with multiple stones in both the kidneys by percutaneous nephrolithotomy for the right moiety and laparoscopic pyelolithotomy for the crossed moiety.
