Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and other clinical features, and can lead to progressive renal failure. It is primarily caused by mutations in the gene. This article reports the case of a 10-year-old male patient of Chinese descent who was incidentally found to have asymptomatic proteinuria during a routine health examination.

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.

While its founder's vision, its outreach to underserved communities, the reasons for its decline, and the perceived abandonment of the community when it closed have been well documented, less attention has been paid to the role of trainees in providing obstetrical care. Medical students and residents routinely delivered babies in patients' homes, often without adequate supervision.

Background: Non-obstructive azoospermia represents the most severe form of male infertility. The heterogeneous nature of focal spermatogenesis within the testes of non-obstructive azoospermia patients poses significant challenges for accurately predicting sperm retrieval rates.

Objectives: To develop a machine learning-based predictive model for estimating sperm retrieval rates in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia.
