Infection Risk in Patients with Mixed Flora in Urine Cultures Prior to Ureteroscopy.
Journal Article J Endourol · February 10, 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 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 ...
