This study aimed to investigate whether maternal obesity affects the immune status of peripheral blood and endometrium in patients with recurrent reproductive failure classified according to their body mass index (BMI). A total of 228 repeated implantation failure (RIF) and 266 recurrent miscarriage (RM) patients were enrolled in the study and further subdivided into three…

Burnout and patient safety perceptions among surgeons in the United Kingdom during the early phases of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: A two-wave survey by Tmam Al-Ghunaim
CONCLUSION: Burnout in surgeons may have serious implications for patient safety. Interventions to support surgeons should be prioritised, and healthcare organisations, surgeons and psychological specialists should collaborate on their development.
Robotic single-port multiquadrant surgery to treat renal tumors and benign abdominal conditions by Antonio Cubisino
CONCLUSIONS: The robotic SP approach facilitates the completion of combined surgical procedures in multiple abdominal quadrants through a single 25mm incision.
Comorbidity of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptomatology and Bowel and Bladder Dysfunction in a Tertiary Children’s Hospital: A Case Series by Lillian C Hayes
CONCLUSIONS: Access to a behavioral health provider can enhance the identification of comorbid psychological disorders and can reduce duration of symptoms through appropriate psychological treatment. Authors provide recommendations for screening measures and reinforce importance of including basic education on psychiatric diagnoses and impact on urological symptoms in urology and pediatric fellowship training programs. Future research…
Effect of the Ureteral Access Sheath Size on Acute Kidney Injury Biomarkers in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery: A Prospective, Randomized Study by Ibrahim Can Aykanat
CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study showed that AKI was not observed in RIRS performed with a 12/14 Fr UAS while the use of a 9.5/11.5 Fr UAS resulted in AKI according to the assessment of the related biomarkers.
The Role of Tissue Expanders in The Reconstruction of Proximal Hypospadias by Thomas G W Harris
CONCLUSION: Proximal hypospadias reconstruction is challenging, and complications are not infrequent. TE is a useful alternative for complex patients with a skin paucity such that cutaneous coverage would be difficult following urethroplasty. Although the complication rate was 43.8% for primary repair, TE generated sufficient residual skin for success after additional reconstruction. For redo repair early…
Biofeedback therapy for children: What is the maximum number of sessions we should offer? by Arighno Das
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical improvement from biofeedback for pediatric patients with dysfunctional voiding may take up to 9 months of therapy, but most cases that improve do so by 3 months. The effect of gender on biofeedback efficacy requires further study, but males may have slower response to biofeedback. Our data provides guidance on when maximum benefit…
Differential Prognostic Value of Extrarenal Involvement in Patients With Non-Metastatic Renal Cell Cancer by Giacomo Musso
CONCLUSION: The concurrent presence of ≥ 2 pT3a features is associated to a higher risk of distant progression, relapse and cancer specific mortality, implying potential role for adjuvant therapy or a more stringent follow-up. Moreover, perirenal fat invasion is associated with worse CSS compared to other pT3a patterns taken alone.
Morphometric analysis of clinically significant parameters of the main trunk of the left coronary artery by Almira Lujinović
Aim To determine the value of angles between the left coronary artery main trunk (LMT) and its branches, the anterior interventricular branch (LAD) and the circumflex branch (CX), and their possible relationship with the LMT length. Methods A total of 29 cadaveric hearts were used. The left coronary artery and its branches were dissected. The…
Molecular-genetics analysis of 15 STR loci in sibship testing in isolated rural Bosnian population – the use of the grey zone by Jasmin Mušanović
Aim Examination of the effectiveness of STR loci in proving sibship of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian village of Orahovica and the formation of a “grey zone”. Methods The probability of sibship was determined by calculating the likelihood ratio (LR) parameter for each of the 15 observed STR loci and for each of the pairs of relatives and…
