Article Synopsis
- * Results indicate that while disposable cystoscopes might reduce waste and water usage, the overall environmental benefits of disposables versus reusables are unclear due to varying reprocessing methods.
- * The review highlights the need for improved strategies, such as better reprocessing of reusable scopes and conducting environmental audits in the healthcare industry, to decrease the carbon footprint of urological procedures.
Introduction: The rising incidence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a significant concern in cancer research. This study analyses the characteristics of RCC patients based on their socio-professional category and explores the role of chlorinated solvents as a risk factor.
Materials And Methods: A multicentre, descriptive epidemiological study was conducted using the UroCCR database.
Background: In 2021, the EAU Guidelines implemented a novel, expert opinion-based follow-up scheme, with a three-risk-category system for clear cell (cc) and non-cc renal cell carcinoma (non-ccRCC) after surgery with curative intent. We aimed to validate the novel follow-up scheme and provide data-driven recurrence estimates according to risk groups, to confirm or implement the oncologic surveillance strategy.
Methods: We identified 5,320 patients from a prospectively maintained database involving 28 French referral centers.
Background And Objective: A hilar location for a renal tumour is sometimes viewed as a limiting factor for safe partial nephrectomy. Our aim was to evaluate perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for hilar tumours (RAPN-H) in comparison to RAPN for nonhilar tumours (RAPN-NH).
Methods: We conducted an observational, multicentre cohort study using prospectively collected data from the French Research Network on Kidney Cancer (UroCCR).
Non-voltage-gated Ca channel signaling in glomerular cells in kidney health and disease.
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol
August 2024
Positioned at the head of the nephron, the renal corpuscle generates a plasma ultrafiltrate to initiate urine formation. Three major cell types within the renal corpuscle, the glomerular mesangial cells, podocytes, and glomerular capillary endothelial cells, communicate via endocrine- and paracrine-signaling mechanisms to maintain the structure and function of the glomerular capillary network and filtration barrier. Ca signaling mediated by several distinct plasma membrane Ca channels impacts the functions of all three cell types.
