Background: Cyclophosphamide (CP) is one of the most effective immunosuppressive agents. To understand the mechanisms used by the CP and MSCs in the kidney, we investigated their effects on some pathways.
Experimental Animals And Methods: 4 groups of female rats were used.
Background: Assessment of parents' awareness of testicular torsion (TT) is essential to plan for necessary awareness-raising campaigns by policymakers. Hence, the preventable loss of testis due to inadequate awareness can be avoided. We aimed to evaluate the awareness of TT amongst parents from the Aljouf region, KSA, and to assess their response to a potential torsion.

- - The study aimed to validate the Yonsei nomogram, which predicts the risk of developing new-onset chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for renal masses, using data from 3526 patients across 23 centers from 2000 to 2018.
- - Findings indicated that 19.4% of patients developed new-onset CKD, with a 5-year CKD-free progression rate of 77.9%; the nomogram showed increasing accuracy in predicting CKD stages over time with AUC values ranging from 0.69 to 0.78.
- - The results highlighted strong calibration of the nomogram, making it a useful tool for estimating individual CKD risk during long
Successful implementation of virtual healthcare depends immensely on patients' perceptions and satisfaction. This cross-sectional study assessed patients' perceptions of, and factors associated with, poor and average satisfaction with the outpatient telemedicine clinics in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 720 patients who attended outpatient telemedicine clinics from different regions of the KSA.

Materials And Methods: A total of 192 patients were categorized into two groups; varicocele with (Varicocele-Associated Hooka (VH) group; = 100) and without smoking (NHV group; = 92). Laboratory investigations such as hormonal (follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone [LH]), semen analysis were performed.
The diverse roles of cytokines as IL-6 and IL-8 have been studied in terms of their SNPs in many diseases but their role in prostate cancer (PCa) is still uncertain. . To determine the relevance of IL-6 rs1800795 SNP and/or IL-8 rs2227306 SNP with prostate cancer's risk.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 89 patients with totally endophytic renal tumors undergoing either RAPN (n = 52) or open partial nephrectomy (OPN; n = 37) in a tertiary-care institution between 2005 and 2015 was performed.
Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate the predictors of biochemical recurrence after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Methods: The study cohort consisted of 359 consecutive non-metastatic prostate cancer patients who underwent Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between November 2012 and January 2016. According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network prostate cancer risk classification, 164 patients (45.
