Aims Of The Study: To investigate the effect of mirabegron 50 mg/daily for JJ stent-related symptoms after ureteroscopic stone surgery.
Methods: Medical records of 145 patients who were given a single daily oral dose of 50 mg of mirabegron for relieving stent-related symptoms were retrospectively analysed. Demographic and clinical data and stone parameters were recorded. All participants completed the Turkish version of the Ureter Symptom Score Questionnaire (USSQ-T) on the postoperative 7th day, and again after at least 3 weeks, before JJ stent removal. The severity of stent-related symptoms was statistically compared before and after the mirabegron treatment.
Results: The mean urinary symptoms score decreased significantly from 30.87 ± 9.43 to 22.61 ± 6.78 (P < .0001), mean body pain score decreased significantly from 21.82 ± 11.22 to 14.03 ± 7.52 (P < .0001), mean work performance score decreased from 10.50 ± 8.61 to 7.02 ± 6.51 (P < .0001) and mean general health score decreased significantly from 15.43 ± 6.50 to 11.12 ± 3.70 (P < .0001). The mean sexual matters score significantly decreased from 3.88 ± 3.40 to 2.48 ± 2.03 (P < .0001), the additional problem score decreased from 9.31 ± 4.61 to 6.51 ± 2.83 (P < .0001) and the overall quality of life (QoL) score decreased from 5.18 ± 1.94 to 4.23 ± 1.71 after mirabegron use (P < .0001).
Conclusion: Daily use of 50 g of mirabegron significantly improved stent-related symptoms, sexual matters and quality of life.

Rationale: Tracheomalacia, typically seen in relapsing polychondritis,[1] is rarely reported in association with congenital heart disease (CHD). In patients with pulmonary hypoperfusion-type CHD, surgical repair results in a rapid increase in pulmonary blood flow, predisposing them to mucus retention, airway obstruction, and respiratory distress. We describe acute airway collapse in a patient with double outlet right ventricle and congenital bronchial stenosis following cardiac repair.

Objectives: Urinary calculi are characterized by a high recurrence rate, and patients' adherence to self-management after discharge directly affects health outcomes. Traditional offline follow-up models often face problems such as poor compliance and uneven allocation of medical resources, making it difficult to meet individualized health management needs. Remote follow-up provides a novel solution to optimize long-term management, improve health literacy, and enhance clinical outcomes.
