Renal Metabolic Defects in Patients with Recurrent Unilateral Nephro- and Ureterolithiasis: Insights from Individual Renal Unit Sampling Open
Background and Objective: Urolithiasis is a highly prevalent condition influenced by environmental, dietary, and genetic factors. Recurrent unilateral stone formation raises the question of whether localized renal metabolic abnormalities c…

Prolonged preoperative double J stenting increases post-ureteroscopy infectious complications Open
Background The clinical benefit of preoperative ureteric double J (JJ) stenting prior to ureterorenoscopy (URS) for uncomplicated urolithiasis remains debated. In cases requiring urgent decompression or delayed definitive treatment, JJ ste…

Low-dose photodynamic therapy promotes vascular E-selectin expression in chest malignancies, improving immune infiltration and tumor control Open
Background Chest malignancies such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or pleural mesothelioma (PM) have an ominous prognosis. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of NSCLC and PM improves patient survival, but the precise underlying mechanism rem…

Photodynamique therapy relieves tumor vascular anergy and promotes immune cell trafficking in an orthotopic mouse model of malignant pleural mesothelioma Open
Objective Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a deadly disease with limited treatment options. Recently, dual immune checkpoint inhibition therapy (ICI) showed improved patient survival. However, only a fraction of patients were respon…
