Integrating artificial intelligence in renal cell carcinoma: evaluating ChatGPT’s performance in educating patients and trainees Open
ChatGPT has significant potential utility in medical education if it can continue to provide accurate and useful information. We have found it to be a useful adjunct to expert human guidance both for medical trainee and, less so, for patie…

Predictors of catheter-free voiding after spinal cord injury Open
Preserved LEMS early after SCI associates with CFV at one year while male sex and early non-urologic infections such as pneumonia are associated with persistent urinary retention. This can be used to counsel SCI patients on expected bladde…

A ‘career exploration’ didactic and simulation-based session increases student knowledge in and exposure to urology Open
Introduction: Though urology attracts well-qualified applicants, students are not typically provided exposure to this smaller specialty until later in their medical education. While simulation-based training continues to supplement medical…

POD1 Stent Removal after PCNL Open
Introduction: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard for treating large or complex renal stones. Renal drainage after the procedure is most commonly via nephrostomy tube or indwelling ureteral stent, but the optimal durat…

Activity of Plasmodium vivax promoter elements in Plasmodium knowlesi, and a centromere-containing plasmid that expresses NanoLuc throughout the parasite life cycle Open
Background Plasmodium knowlesi is now the major cause of human malaria in Malaysia, complicating malaria control efforts that must attend to the elimination of multiple Plasmodium species. Recent advances in the cultivation of P. knowlesi …

Admission Indications and Outcomes of Obstetric Patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK): A retrospective descriptive study Open
BACKGROUND: Maternal mortality in Rwanda has decreased dramatically in the last 15 years, but little is known about indications for admission and outcomes of obstetric patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) in Rwanda. The objec…

Transcriptome profiling of<i>Plasmodium vivax</i>in<i>Saimiri</i>monkeys identifies potential ligands for invasion Open
Unlike the case in Asia and Latin America, Plasmodium vivax infections are rare in sub-Saharan Africa due to the absence of the Duffy blood group antigen (Duffy antigen), the only known erythrocyte receptor for the P. vivax merozoite invas…

Artemisinin resistance phenotypes and K13 inheritance in a <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> cross and <i>Aotus</i> model Open
Significance Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are first-line antimalarial therapies used worldwide. The artemisinin drug (ART) component clears the bulk of infection rapidly, but small numbers of persistent parasites must be …
