Robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction

Infection complications after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: A radiology department’s experience and strategy for improvement
Abstract Introduction: Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is a common procedure performed to diagnose prostate cancer. The risk of infection complications is well-described in the literature, and strategies to avoid such complications continue to evolve over time. We performed a retrospective review of our infection complications and propose a strategy for improvement.

Intimate portraits piece together the puzzle of Natalie Wood, the person and mother
Natalie Wood is a cinematic icon who had received three Oscar nominations by age 25 and whose films included “Splendor in the Grass,” “Rebel Without a Cause” and “West Side Story.” Since her drowning in 1981, however, her legacy has been colored by speculation and lurid tell-alls, fueled at least in part by the reopening of the police investigation into her death decades later.

Dual usage of a stone basket: Stone capture and retropulsion prevention
Introduction: Stone migration during ureteroscopy (URS) for proximal ureteric calculi is a constant challenge. Several retropulsion prevention devices have been developed to optimize URS outcomes. Our technique involves capturing the stone within a fourwire Nitinol stone basket and then performing laser lithotripsy to dust the stone while it is engaged in the basket. The dusted fragments wash out with the irrigation fluid and once small enough, the remaining stone is removed intact.

Filmmakers also lament the industry's evolution into an arms race. Here's where crowdfunding comes in. Here's where you come in.
