Introduction: A model to predict the risk of surgical complications following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) could be a useful tool to guide clinical decision-making. The aim of this study was to develop a simple and widely applicable stratification tool to be used for patient counseling, surgical planning, evaluation of outcomes, and academic reporting.
Methods: Data of patients who underwent PCNL were retrieved from the database of the collaborating centers including demographics of patients, characteristics of their stones and urinary tracts, and perioperative data.

Background & Objective: Hypervascularity is a characteristic feature of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and microvessel density (MVD) predicts tumor metastasis. Nestin is a stem cell marker that is expressed in proliferating endothelial cells and newly formed vessels and Fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 (FLT1) is a proangiogenic factor. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of Nestin and FLT1 in RCC and their prognostic impact.

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent gastrointestinal condition that has a detrimental impact on one's quality of life because of acid reflux causing damage to the esophagus. Primary symptoms consist of heartburn and regurgitation, although patients may also encounter chest pain, nausea, and dysphagia. Medical students may be particularly susceptible due to stressful lifestyles and unhealthy habits.

Background: Surfactant protein-A (SP-A) is the most prevalent protein in the pulmonary surfactant system and it is expressed in Type II alveolar epithelial cells.
Materials And Methods: We evaluated SP-A expression in 92 fetal human lungs at various gestational ages in Myanmar (Burma) using hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical assays.
Results: We detected tubular structures in the fetal lungs during the canalicular stage of development at gestational weeks 22-25.

Background: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare illness marked by rapid deterioration of liver function, leading to high morbidity and mortality rates, particularly in children. While steroids have been observed to correlate with improved survival, evidence supporting their efficacy in ALF children remains limited. miR-122, a liver-specific microRNA, plays a pivotal role in liver pathology, with its expression significantly altered in various liver diseases.
