Urinary system

  1. Dual giant neobladder stones after long follow-up loss
    Giant neobladder stones weighing 950g successfully managed after 18-year follow-up loss. Case highlights importance of lifelong surveillance and prevention strategies in urinary diversion patients.
  2. Urinary calcium-to-citrate ratio may help predict stone risk in very young children
    Urinary calcium-to-citrate ratio demonstrates moderate discriminatory power for kidney stone risk in infants and toddlers, with a threshold of 0.23 mg/mg indicating elevated lithogenic potential.
  3. Three factors predicted early stone recurrence after surgery
    Nomogram predicting postoperative recurrence in infective upper urinary tract stones using residual stones, urine culture status, and CT attenuation values for personalized risk stratification.
  4. Urine metabolomics showed distinct patterns across paediatric TB states
    Urine metabolomics via NMR spectroscopy shows promise for early diagnosis of paediatric tuberculosis, achieving 97% accuracy in distinguishing active TB from latent infection.
