Blood metabolites mediate the impact of lifestyle factors on the risk of urolithiasis: a multivariate, mediation Mendelian randomization study
This study aims to investigate the relationship between lifestyle factors and the onset of urolithiasis and explore potential blood metabolite mediators and their role in mediating this relationship. In this study, we selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as instrumental variables if they exhibited significant associations with our exposures in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) (p< 5.0 × 10-8). Summary data for urolithiasis came from the FinnGen database, including 8597 cases and 333,128 controls. We employed multiple MR analysis methods to assess causal links between genetically predicted lifestyle fact...

Surgeon, and Institution Characteristics Associated Surgical Preferences in the Pediatric KIDney Stone (PKIDS) Care Improvement Network
To reveal barriers and opportunities to implement evidence for the management of pediatric kidney stone disease, we determined surgeon and institutional factors associated with preferences for the type of surgical intervention for kidney and ureteral stones. (Source: Urology)

Deciding on a novel predictive value to gauge how well patients with lower ureteric stones respond to medical expulsive therapy
This study, conducted over 4 years in Baghdad, Iraq, aimed to determine the importance of ureteric jet assessment in medical expulsive therapy (MET) for distal ureteral stones. A total of 156 patients with distal ureteral stones (≤ 10 mm) participated, and their ureteric jets were observed using a color Doppler scanner b efore and after 2 weeks of MET. The main focus was the success rate of stone expulsion. Our results showed that 50% of patients had detectable ureteric jets after 2 weeks of MET, and 21.8% experienced successful stone expulsion. After 4 weeks, 23.7% achieved stone expulsion, while 54.5% still had...
