Background: For patients with lower pole renal calculi (LPC), preoperative evaluation of infundibulopelvic angles (IPA) is of great significance; however, conventional measuring method is often inconvenient in clinical setting. Here we introduce a rapid novel method using built-in inclinometer in smartphone which is often used in anatomical parameters evaluating to implement the measurement of IPA.
Materials And Methods: The randomized, self-controlled study on evaluating inclinometer application measured IPA on urography films collected from enrolled LPC patients.
Background: Several groups proved kidney-sparing surgery (KSS) had equivalent oncological outcomes compared with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for the low-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients. Whereas, the clinical efficacy of KSS for high-risk UTUC, especially for distal high-risk ureteral carcinoma, remains unclear.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of KSS for patients with distal high-risk ureter cancer.
Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old woman had kidney tumors found during a routine check-up, which were later diagnosed as a rare type of kidney cancer linked to genetics.
- She underwent surgeries to remove parts of both kidneys and received treatment to prevent the cancer from coming back.
- After about 38 months, she had a healthy baby, and there was no sign of the cancer returning, showing that pregnancy is possible even after such surgeries.
Background: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a relatively rare type of mesenchymal neoplasm that occurs most frequently in the pleura. However, SFT originating from the prostate is particularly uncommon and only approximately 39 cases were reported before. Herein, we reported a rare case of a patient diagnosed with prostate SFT and presented a literature review.

Cx26 can transmit radiation-induced damage signals. However, no study has yet reported whether Cx26 expression affects the radiosensitivity of human skin squamous cancer cells or the mechanism by which this occurs.
