Introduction: This study was done to review and compare safety, effectiveness and advantages of total tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), tubeless PCNL with standard PCNL.
Methodology: This prospective comparative study involving 30 patients in each total tubeless PCNL, tubeless PCNL and standard PCNL group from Feb 2021 to June 2022.
Result: Significant difference was found in mean duration of surgery ( < 0.01), mean hospital stay ( < 0.01), mean VAS post op score ( < 0.01), mean time to return to normal activity ( < 0.01) in total and tubeless PCNL group as compared with standard PCNL. While no significant difference found in mean haemoglobin drop ( = 0.1417), blood transfusion ( = 3721), incidence of urine leak ( = 0.13), need of accessory secondary procedure ( = 0.1322) and associated complications ( = 0.5939) among three groups.
Conclusion: Study observed that total tubeless, tubeless PCNL is a safe and efficient technique. It is significantly associated with the advantages of shorter hospital stay, shorter time to return to normal activity, lower postoperative pain scores. Total tubeless PCNL obviates need of second procedure of removing DJ stent. Standard, tubeless and total tubeless PCNL have similar post op complication rate. Study thus concludes that total tubeless, tubeless PCNL can be used as a substitute for traditional standard PCNL.

Introduction: Primary hyperhidrosis is a disease that is characterized by excessive sweating beyond what is required to maintain the normal temperature of the body. Moreover, it has a great adverse effect on the life of the affected persons because of problems in their social lives. There are different modalities to treat primary hyperhidrosis, including medical and surgical treatment.

Background: The rate of postoperative complications in wedge resection is low because it does not involve major structures. However, postoperative air leakage (AL) is common. This research sought to determine the risk factors associated with AL following thoracoscopic pulmonary wedge resection and to create a predictive model for identifying patients suitable for tubeless procedures.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the costs and outcomes of two types of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS): spontaneous ventilation VATS (SV-VATS) and mechanical ventilation VATS (MV-VATS) at Shaoxing People's Hospital.
- Data from 386 patients revealed similar overall costs between SV-VATS and MV-VATS, but SV-VATS had lower anesthesia-related costs and showed significant advantages in terms of postoperative complications and recovery time.
- Postoperative complications were absent in the SV-VATS group, while the MV-VATS group experienced issues like sore throat and hoarseness, and the time to extubation was quicker in the SV-VATS group (4 min vs. 10

Background: The enteric parasite remains a treatment challenge for drinking water utilities globally due to its resistance to chlorine disinfection. However, the lack of an in vitro culture system for that is both cost-effective and reliable remains a key bottleneck in research.
Methods: Here we report that the microfluidic culture of human ileocecal colorectal adenocarcinoma (HCT-8) cells under fluid shear stress enables the extended development of .

Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of total tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) without retrograde insertion of a ureteral catheter for the treatment of kidney stone patients without hydronephrosis.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study at a tertiary care medical center was conducted from August 2019 to April 2023. Kidney stone patients diagnosed by computed tomography (CT) without significant hydronephrosis were randomly assigned to two groups: total tubeless PCNL without retrograde insertion of a ureteral catheter (group 1) and traditional PCNL (group 2).
