Thus, no standard therapy modality for this malignancy has been established. This study aimed to retrospectively analyse the clinical outcomes associated with definitive radiotherapy for small cell carcinoma of the bladder.

- A study investigated long-term outcomes of stenting in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) lesions, revealing higher initial mortality rates compared to patients without ULMCA stenting, but no significant difference in risk after adjusting for patient factors.
- Among patients treated with drug-eluting sirolimus stents, those with ostial/shaft lesions had lower revascularization rates than those with bifurcation lesions.
- The findings suggest that while ULMCA stenting is associated with higher unadjusted mortality, it's likely due to the patients' pre-existing high-risk conditions rather than the stenting procedure itself, with particularly poor outcomes for bifurcation lesions when both branches are stented.
A 7-month-old boy with a solitary kidney showed recurrent urinary tract infection. Magnetic resonance urography helps in the identification of vesicoureteral junction obstruction associated with unilateral renal agenesis.
