Single-Center Experience with Three Metallic Ureteral Stents (Allium URS, Memokath™-051, and Resonance) for Chronic Ureteral Obstruction.

Patients with chronic ureteral obstruction (CUO) are traditionally managed with polymer stents/nephrostomy. However, these are prone to failure and require regular exchange. This study evaluates the efficacy of Allium URS, Memokath™-051, and Resonance metallic ureteral stents in managing patients with CUO.

Engagement of Other Emergency Services in the Management of Penile Ring Entrapment.

Penile ring entrapment is a rare urological emergency, which may risk tissue loss if not managed appropriately. We present the case of a 59-year-old man with penile ring entrapment secondary to the placement of 14 metallic rings for sexual pleasure. We recommend involvement of the fire emergency service if local equipment is inadequate for urgent penile ring removal.

Current process and outcomes of the surgical management of LUTS due to benign prostatic enlargement: how consistent are we? - results from the multi-institutional audit of surgical management of BPE (AuSuM BPE) in the United Kingdom.

Objective: In view of changing landscape of surgical treatment for LUTS secondary to BPE, this audit was undertaken to assess key aspects of the processes and outcomes of the current interventional treatments for BPE, across different units in the UK.

Materials And Method: A multi-institutional snapshot audit was conducted for patients undergoing interventions for LUTS/BPE over 8-week period. Using Delphi process two-part proforma was designed to capture data.

Assessment of antioxidant traits and protective action of Egyptian acacia pods extracts against paracetamol-induced liver toxicity in rats.

This study investigates the protective effect of Egyptian acacia pod extracts against overdose of paracetamol-induced liver damage. Egyptian acacia green and brown pods were extracted by mixture of ethanol 80%: HCl (6 M) (99:1 v/v). In extracts of green and brown pods, total phenolic content in hydrolyzed ethyl acetate fraction (HEF) at pH 4, was 649.
