Purpose: To analyze the most frequently searched questions associated with shoulder labral pathology and to evaluate the source-type availability and quality.

Methods: Common shoulder labral pathology-related search terms were entered into Google, and the suggested frequently asked questions were compiled and categorized. In addition, suggested sources were recorded, categorized, and scored for quality of information using JAMA benchmark criteria.

We present a case involving a 36-year-old male who experienced a nail gun injury to the posterolateral knee, leading to intraoperative nail removal. We observed bisection of the common peroneal nerve during the procedure with tethering, fortunately without any functional or sensory deficits.

Cyclops lesions are characterized as fibroid nodules with granulation tissue that looks similar to a cyclops eye during arthroscopy. These are rare postoperative complications following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), presenting typically within six months of their reconstruction. This case report presents a 21-year-old male, three years following hamstring autograft ACLR, with a symptomatic cyclops lesion.

Objective: The European POUT III randomized controlled trial provided level-one evidence that adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is the standard of care following nephroureterectomy (RNU) for locally invasive or node-positive upper tract urothelial carcinoma. We aim to assess this European randomized controlled trial's generalizability (external validity) to a North American cohort, using a nationwide database.

Materials And Methods: To compare trial patients with those seen in real-world practice, we simulated the trial inclusion criteria using data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).

Background: Patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery often search the internet for information regarding the procedure. One popular source, Google, compiles frequently asked questions and links to websites that may provide answers. This study provides an analysis of the most frequently searched questions associated with rotator cuff surgery.

Objective: To characterize the demographics, educational background, and scholarly characteristics of current urology residency program directors (PDs).

Methods: Urology programs were identified by the listing on the "Accredited US Urology Programs" section of American Urological Association website as of October 2021. Demographics and academic data were collected via publicly available department website and Google search engine.

Osteosarcomas are a type of bone cancer that typically affect young adults, often in the bones of the arms and legs. To treat osteosarcoma, doctors typically use a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, with External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) being the most commonly used form of radiotherapy. EBRT involves directing high-energy photons, X-rays, gamma rays, protons, and electrons at the tumor to induce cancer cell death.

Article Synopsis
  • Social media, particularly Twitter, is becoming a significant platform for disseminating information about urology, but there's concern about the spread of misinformation.
  • The study aimed to identify the top 100 urology influencers on Twitter and analyze how their online influence correlates with their academic performance, specifically their h index.
  • Results showed most influencers are male, board-certified urologists from the U.S., with some correlation between their social media influence and academic impact, though the correlation was weak.

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a rare etiology of upper gastrointestinal obstruction. The measured angle between the SMA and the aorta is typically between 38 and 65° and maintained by mesenteric fat. Excessive fat loss can lead to intestinal obstruction due to an exaggerated acute angularity of the SMA, compressing the third part of the duodenum.

For decades, it has been assumed that introgressive hybridization between introduced rainbow trout and native cutthroat trout in western North America will lead to genomic extinction of the latter. A broad-scale re-examination of their interaction indicates that ecological differences between these species and demographic processes are dictating the location and extent of their hybrid zones, and that runaway introgression between these taxa is unlikely.

Among the many threats posed by invasions of nonnative species is introgressive hybridization, which can lead to the genomic extinction of native taxa. This phenomenon is regarded as common and perhaps inevitable among native cutthroat trout and introduced rainbow trout in western North America, despite that these taxa naturally co-occur in some locations. We conducted a synthetic analysis of 13,315 genotyped fish from 558 sites by building logistic regression models using data from geospatial stream databases and from 12 published studies of hybridization to assess whether environmental covariates could explain levels of introgression between westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout in the U.
