Background And Purpose: Though TURP remains the primary treatment for BPH, advancements in energy and technology have introduced innovative transurethral surgical options. In this study, we assessed and compared the effectiveness and safety of using thulium laser and bipolar for endoscopic enucleation of prostate exceeding 80 g.
Patients And Methods: Between January 2022 and July 2023, this study enrolled patients with LUTS due to BPH and a prostate size of ≥80 g.
Objectives: We aimed to assess the stone free rate of flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy (FURL) in upper urinary tract stones (UUTS) >20 mm and the risk of complications from ureteral access sheath (UAS) usage.
Methods: This is a prospective randomized clinical trial that included patients with UUTS larger than 20 mm who underwent FURL after randomization into two groups: group A (UAS) and group B (non-UAS). Data were collected for patients' demographics, stone parameters, operative and postoperative complications, and the outcome of FURL regarding stone-free rate (SFR) and perioperative complications, with a 6-month follow-up.
Article Synopsis
- - Nephrotoxicity from cisplatin limits its effectiveness as a cancer treatment, and this study explores the role of ferroptosis, an iron-related cell death process, in this complication.
- - Researchers used male Sprague-Dawley rats to compare effects across four groups: control, cisplatin-only, deferiprone (a chelator) only, and both cisplatin and deferiprone together.
- - Findings showed that iron buildup leads to ferroptotic damage in kidney cells; the study suggests that NCOA4 contributes to this process by promoting ferritin degradation and thus supports the idea that ferroptosis plays a role in cisplatin-induced kidney damage.
Global environmental changes, such as climate change and reclamation alterations, significantly influence hydrological processes, leading to hydrologic nonstationarity and challenges in managing water availability and distribution. This study introduces a conceptual underpinning for the rational development and sustainability of groundwater resources. As one of the areas intended for the development projects within the Egyptian national plan for the reclamation of one and a half million acres; hundreds of pumping wells were constructed in the Moghra area to fulfill the reclamation demand.
