- - The study aimed to find out what types of services caregivers want and to identify which groups are most interested in these services.
- - Caregivers reported that hands-on services, care coordination, financial help, and emotional support were the most beneficial resources, with younger and more stressed caregivers being particularly responsive to these needs.
- - The results highlight a significant demand for caregiver services and suggest that tailored, integrated service models could improve access to necessary support, advocating for a change in how caregivers are considered in healthcare.
Bladder calculi commonly develop in patients with poor bladder emptying or those with retained foreign bodies within the bladder, leading to irritative voiding symptoms, hematuria, and an increased likelihood of refractory urinary tract infections. While many techniques exist for the treatment of bladder calculi, including endoscopic and open-surgical approaches, our novel technique may help manage exceptionally large or difficult-to-treat bladder calculi effectively. We present three patients with symptomatic bladder calculi ranging from 1.

Objective: To examine the influence of SDoH variables on receiving nMAb treatments and the risk of a poor COVID-19 outcome, as well as nMAb treatment effectiveness across SDoH subgroups.
Design: Retrospective observational study utilizing electronic health record data from four health systems.
Introduction: Available literature comparing spinal anesthesia (SA) to general anesthesia (GA) in the pediatric population describes multiple benefits in appropriately selected patients including cost reduction, lower incidence of complications, and shorter operative times. In patients undergoing urologic procedures, data are sparse.
Objective: Our goal was to expand on the paucity of existing urologic literature as SA appears to be uniquely suited for a substantial number of its common pediatric procedures.
