Stent Omission after Ureteroscopy and Lithotripsy (SOUL) in the Michigan Urological Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MUSIC): study protocol for a pragmatic prospective combined randomized and observational clinical trial.
Trials
December 2024
Department of Urology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - Ureteral stents are commonly used after ureteroscopy to prevent complications from kidney stones, yet they can cause significant pain and urinary issues, which has led to calls for their omission in many cases.
- - Guidelines support not using stents in uncomplicated surgeries, but over 80% of procedures still involve them, partly due to insufficient evidence about their impact on pain and patient outcomes.
- - A new study is being conducted where patients randomly choose whether to have a stent or not, while those who refuse randomization will be observed based on the doctor's decision, aiming to gather real-world data on the effectiveness of stent omission.

Contagious Vibrations: Sympathetic Resonance as a Model for Disease Transmission in the Writings of Ficino, Fracastoro, and Cardano.

Contagious diseases were among the most vexing problems in ancient theories of health, which could not easily account for how a corruption of one person's humors could cause a similar corruption in another's. One useful explanatory concept for Renaissance doctors tackling this theoretical gap was the phenomenon of resonance or "sympathetic vibration" - where one stationary string begins to vibrate spontaneously when a similarly tuned string is plucked nearby - as both resonance and contagion involved some mysterious, insensible action at a distance between an agent and a patient. Tracing the writings of Marsilio Ficino, Girolamo Fracastoro, and Girolamo Cardano, this essay explores the relationships between the writers' accounts of sympathetic vibrations and their contagion theories.
