Urinary calculi composition and its correlation with sex, age, calculi site, urine pH and underlying diseases: a retrospective study.
Am J Transl Res
December 2024
Department of Urology, Meizhou People's Hospital (Huangtang Hospital) Meizhou 514031, Guangdong, China.
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.
Covalent Grafting of Quaternary Ammonium Salt-Containing Polyurethane onto Silicone Substrates to Enhance Bacterial Contact-Killing Ability.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) induced by rapid bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on urinary catheters is a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed. To prevent CAUTI, many contact-killing, non-leaching coatings have been developed for the surfaces of silicone catheters. However, due to the chemical inertness of the silicone substrate, most current coatings lack adhesion and are unstable under external forces.

Article Synopsis
- Cortisol is a crucial hormone involved in various bodily processes, but traditional immunoassays can inaccurately measure it due to low specificity.
- The study developed and validated advanced LC-MS/MS methods for accurately measuring cortisol in urine and plasma samples, adhering to Brazilian health regulations.
- Their methods demonstrated high precision and sensitivity, successfully analyzing samples from patients at a major hospital in Rio de Janeiro.
Evaluation of Antiurolithiatic Effects of Lam. Leaves Extract: , and Approaches.
Dose Response
November 2024
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur, Bahawalpur, Pakistan.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the antiurolithiatic (stone-preventing) effects of Lam. leaves using various scientific methods, including phytochemical analyses and antioxidant testing.
- The methanolic aqueous extract from the leaves showed significant inhibitory effects on the formation, aggregation, and growth of kidney stones in laboratory models, as well as beneficial effects on urinary and serum parameters.
- Histological analysis indicated that the extract restored normal kidney tissue structure affected by stone-related conditions, suggesting that its beneficial effects are linked to antioxidant properties and the reduction of substances that promote stone formation.
Urinary Response to Consuming Plant-Based Meat Alternatives in Persons with Normal Kidney Function: The SWAP-MEAT Pilot Trial.
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol
November 2024
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine, Palo Alto, CA.
Background: Consuming excess animal meat may exacerbate kidney disorders, such as urinary stone disease and CKD. Plant-based meat alternatives imitate animal meat and replace animal with vegetable protein, but it is unclear whether eating plant-meat confers similar health benefits as eating whole vegetables. We hypothesized that eating plant-meat when compared with animal meat decreases dietary acid load but increases dietary phosphorus and nitrogen.
