Infection Risk in Patients with Mixed Flora in Urine Cultures Prior to Ureteroscopy.
Journal Article J Endourol · August 2025 Purpose: Urine cultures are routinely used to inform preoperative antibiotic choice and duration prior to endourologic surgery. The presence of mixed flora in preoperative urine cultures holds unclear clinical significance. This study examines infectious o ...

Journal Article J Endourol · July 2025 Objective: To optimize thulium fiber laser (TFL) settings for effective stone fragmentation although minimizing thermal injury in confined ureteral spaces using a three-dimensional ureter model. Materials and Methods: A hydrogel-based ureter model was main ...

Journal Article Anesth Analg · January 1, 2025 BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with increased dementia risk, yet its role in postoperative neurocognitive disorders is unclear. Here, we studied whether the severity of untreated obstructive sleep apnea is associated with the severity of ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
