AI Article Synopsis
- Radiologists and urologists need effective imaging techniques to diagnose urinary obstruction.
- Various imaging methods and reconstructions were tested, along with a custom questionnaire for assessing diagnostic outcomes.
- Findings show that 2D axial CT scans outperform retrograde pyelography, antegrade pyelography, and other reconstruction methods in diagnosing urinary obstruction.
Article Abstract
Radiologists and urologists require practical and helpful image reconstructions for diagnosing urinary obstruction. We performed different types of imaging and reconstruction, then used a self-designed urinary obstruction-specific questionnaire to evaluate the diagnostic outcome of them. Our results suggested that two-dimensional (2D) axial computed tomography (CT) is clinically superior to retrograde pyelography or antegrade pyelography, and to other modes of image reconstruction that are often used for diagnosing urinary obstruction.

Sacral Neuromodulation Reprogramming Rates: Understanding Office-Based Requirement.
Urogynecology (Phila)
December 2024
Importance: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is a procedure with the advantage of reprogramming for discomfort or inadequate symptom control.
Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the rates of office-based SNM programming in a large multisite cohort and to examine differences based on implantation indication.
Study Design: The TriNetX database was utilized for retrospective cohort comparison using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes.

A 21-year-old man with a 2-week history of abdominal pain and urinary hesitancy was admitted to our hospital. Sarcoma was suspected based on his PSA level, age, and MRI findings. He underwent 18F-FDG and Al18F-FAPI-74 PET/CT scans.

JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina.
Importance: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common, chronic, cardiac arrythmia in older US adults. It is not known whether AF is independently associated with increased risk of retinal stroke (central retinal artery occlusion), a subtype of ischemic stroke that causes severely disabling visual loss in most cases and is a harbinger of further vascular events.
Objective: To determine whether there is an association between AF and retinal stroke.
Previous maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor lead to unfavorable perioperative outcomes following radical cystectomy.

Institute of Urology, Gansu Province Clinical Research Center for Urinary System Disease, The Second Hospital and Clinical Medical School, Lanzhou University, No. 82 Cuiyingmen, Chengguan District, Lanzhou, Gansu, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) on perioperative outcomes following radical cystectomy (RC).
Methods: This study included 310 patients who underwent RC for the diagnosis of bladder urothelial carcinoma. Of these, 146 patients had a history of maximal TURBT (TURBT group) and 164 did not (non-TURBT group).
Background: Renal atrophy may reflect an end organ consequence of chronic vascular disease. Renal volume loss may therefore provide a window into brain aging and Alzheimer disease risk.
Method: We obtained whole-body 1.
