This paper defines endometriosis disease and summarizes its clinical and pathological features. Definitive diagnosis of endometriosis requires direct visualization of the disease. Laparoscopy is the most commonly employed method to inspect the peritoneal cavity directly. We list the drugs employed for the medical therapy of endometriosis and put evidence on limits and side effects of medical treatment. The surgical treatment is mainly laparoscopic for excision or coagulation of pelvic endometriosis implants but frequently the rate of recurrences or new implants is high. In this paper we stressed the urological aspect of endometriosis in particular bladder and ureteral locations and the secondary ureteral injuries resulting from surgical treatment.

Center for Joint Surgery, Southwest Hospital, Army Medical University, Gaotanyan Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing, 400038, China.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the suitable surgical strategies for applying TaBw01 porous tantalum rod across different stages of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
Methods: TaBw01 tantalum rods were fabricated using type FTaY-1 tantalum powder via the foam impregnation-sintering method. Mechanical testing with the Instron 8801 universal testing machine and finite element analysis (FEA) assessed single tantalum rod implantation and impaction bone grafting combined with rod implantation.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer known for its high aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Conventional treatment of TNBC is challenging due to its heterogeneity and lack of clear targets. Recent advancements in immunotherapy have shown promise in treating TNBC, with immune checkpoint therapy playing a significant role in comprehensive treatment plans.

Hydrocephalus Association, 4340 East West Highway, Suite 905, Bethesda, MD, 20814-4447, USA.
Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder that impacts approximately 85 per 100,000 individuals worldwide and is associated with motor and cognitive impairments. While many advances in surgical interventions have helped substantially improve the survival rates and quality of life of those affected, there continues to be significant gaps in our understanding of the etiology of this heterogeneous condition as well as its specific neuropsychological and functional challenges across different phases of life. To address these limitations, the Hydrocephalus Association and Rudi Schulte Research Institute organized a workshop titled, "Improving Cognitive and Psychological Outcomes in Hydrocephalus", composed of top academics in the fields of hydrocephalus, cognition, and neuropsychology, as well as individuals with hydrocephalus or their caregivers.

Department of Precision Medicine, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School, Nanjing, 210008, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) represent a promising approach for replicating the characteristics of original tumors and facilitating drug testing for personalized treatments across diverse cancer types. However, clinical evidence regarding their application to esophageal cancer remains limited. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of implementing PDOs in clinical practice to benefit patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
