Blood hemolysis caused by mechanical impact is a serious problem in medicine. In addition to the heart-lung machine (artificial surfaces, flow irritating connection points) which contributes to hemolysis, blood suction and surgical suction devices are influencing factors. Goal of our research is to develop best flow optimizing suction geometry that represents the best compromise between all influencing effects. Based on data that negative pressure and turbulence have a negative impact on blood components, 27 surgical suction tips have been examined for acoustic stress and negative pressure behavior. Furthermore, a dimensionless factor was introduced to assess the overall performance of the suction tips investigated.

Rise in intraluminal temperature during ureteroscopy: Is this a concern?
Investig Clin Urol

Department of Urology, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea.
The global increase in urolithiasis prevalence has led to a shift towards minimally invasive procedures, such as retrograde intrarenal surgery, supported by advancements in laser technologies for lithotripsy. Pulsed lasers, particularly the holmium YAG and the newer thulium fiber laser, have significantly transformed the management of upper urinary tract stones. However, the use of high-power lasers in these procedures introduces risks of heat-related injury.

Methods: This was a prospective, single-site clinical study of patients undergoing SMILE for myopia and myopic astigmatism between February 2022 and August 2023. Each patient underwent bilateral treatment using the VisuMax 800 (VM800 group) in one eye and the VisuMax 500 (VM500 group) in the contralateral eye.

Background: Preclinical studies have documented the role of alpha-adrenergic agonists in myometrial contraction. Phenylephrine is frequently used to prevent and treat post-spinal hypotension during cesarean delivery. We hypothesized phenylephrine would reduce postpartum blood loss due to alpha-1 receptor-mediated uterine and vascular smooth muscle contraction.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) impacts women's health and quality of life. Post-surgery complications can be severe. This study uses rat models to replicate sacrocolpopexy and test materials for pelvic support, verifying the 4-week postoperative mortality rate, the mechanical properties of the mesh tissue, and the collagen content.
