Efficacy of the combination of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation and mirabegron in women with overactive bladder in a prospective randomized controlled trial.

The management of overactive bladder (OAB) in women encompasses a range of strategies, from behavioral modifications to pharmacotherapy and nerve stimulation techniques. This prospective, randomized, controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of the combination of TTNS and mirabegron in symptom improvement over three months in women diagnosed with OAB. The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial.

Percutaneous nephrostomy versus retrograde ureteral stent for acute upper urinary tract obstruction with urosepsis.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the efficacy of percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) versus retrograde ureteric stent (RUS) for acute upper urinary tract obstruction with urosepsis.

Materials And Methods: We performed a random study, comparing PCN to RUS, for the treatment of patients requiring emergency drainage due to acute upper urinary tract obstruction with urosepsis between January 2019 to March 2020. Data collected included patient characteristics, stone material, microbiological characteristics, and laboratory data.

Radiologic-Radiomic Machine Learning Models for Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Solid Renal Masses: Comparison With Expert-Level Radiologists.

The objective of our study was to compare the performance of radiologicradiomic machine learning (ML) models and expert-level radiologists for differentiation of benign and malignant solid renal masses using contrast-enhanced CT examinations. This retrospective study included a cohort of 254 renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) (190 clear cell RCCs [ccRCCs], 38 chromophobe RCCs [chrRCCs], and 26 papillary RCCs [pRCCs]), 26 fat-poor angioleiomyolipomas, and 10 oncocytomas with preoperative CT examinations. Lesions identified by four expert-level radiologists (> 3000 genitourinary CT and MRI studies) were manually segmented for radiologicradiomic analysis.
