We report a case of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) with urinary xanthine calculi. At eight years of age calculi in the renal pelvis were successfully disintegrated by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) without any complications. Follow-up sonography is very useful for management of patients with LNS, particularly when they are on allopurinol therapy.

Department for Internal Medicine and Cardiology, Technische Universität Dresden, Heart Centre Dresden, University Hospital, Dresden, Germany.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate incidence and predictors of weaning failure and in-hospital death after successful weaning from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS).
Methods And Results: Overall, 685 patients with CS treated with VA-ECMO from 23 tertiary care centres in 7 countries were analysed (median age 57 [interquartile range 49-66] years, 542 [79.1%] male, median lactate 7.

Objective: To investigate the composition of urinary calculi and its correlation with sex, age, calculi site, urine pH, and underlying diseases.
Methods: The clinical data of 300 patients with urinary calculi admitted to Meizhou People's Hospital from January 2022 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The composition of urinary calculi and its correlation with sex, age, calculi site, urine pH, and underlying diseases were examined.
Changes in Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio During Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

From the Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York.
Mortality remains elevated during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support (VA-ECMO) for cardiogenic shock and the role of inflammation is uncertain. By using the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), we investigated inflammatory dynamics during VA-ECMO and their relation to clinical outcomes. A single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted.

Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a critical treatment for severe cardiopulmonary failure. However, traditional ECMO decannulation methods, such as manual compression and surgical repair, are associated with significant complications. This study evaluates suture-mediated closure devices, specifically Perclose ProGlide, as a potentially favorable decannulation strategy.

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the treatment of ureteral calculi based on decision tree model.
Methods: A total of 600 patients with ureteral calculi, including 289 treated with FURL and 311 cases with ESWL in Anqing Municipal Hospital from June 2021 to August 2023, were selected as study subjects. Perioperative indicators and stone clearance rate of the two groups were compared, and the preoperative and postoperative (24 and 72 hours) changes of serum creatinine, cystatin C (Cys-C) and microalbumin were observed.
