A migraine is a clinical diagnosis with a presentation of one or more severe unilateral or bilateral headache(s) often preceded by an aura and typically accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and/or phonophobia. This neurological di…
Do ureteral stent diameter and length or patient demographics play a role in stent encrustation? Open
Introduction: Retained ureteral stents may constitute a technical challenge. The purpose of this study was to analyze the patient population with retained ureteral stents with regards to stent sizes to better understand if these factors co…
Primary Renal Carcinoid: Two Rare Cases at a Single Center Open
Renal carcinoid tumors are exceedingly rare. These neuroendocrine masses are most frequently found in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. A renal carcinoid tumor has only been documented in around 100 cases. In this article, we re…
Prostate cancer metastatic to bilateral testicles: case report and literature review. Open
This case report highlights that PCa can have a highly variable course and progression can occur in the absence of adherence to treatment. Any evidence of disease relapse and clinical suspicion of metastasis should be investigated, especia…
A 22-Year-Old Retained Ureteral Stent: One of the Oldest Removed Using a Multimodal Endourologic Approach Open
Background: Ureteral stent encrustation poses a distinct challenge to urologists. The purpose of our study is to present a patient with one of the oldest retained ureteral stents reported in the literature, effectively treated at our insti…
Abstract 59: The pioneer transcription factor FOXA2 regulates integrin alpha 1 expression controlling prostate cancer bone colonization Open
Introduction. Approximately 30,000 men will die from prostate cancer (PCa) in 2018. When localized and detected early, it has a low rate of progression and metastasis, with successful treatment. However, some patients may progress to a mor…
Evaluation of a Chitosan Hemostat in a Porcine Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy Model: A Pilot Study Open
