While diversity and inclusion efforts have increased in urology, comparative analysis of personal statements from 2016-2017 and 2022-2023 residency applications showed few linguistic changes over time by gender or race/ethnicity. These results suggest the need for directed efforts to engage, mentor, and coach females and underrepresented minorities during medical school and the urology application process.

Objective: CXCR4 and integrin αβ play important roles in tumor biology and are highly expressed in multiple types of tumors. This study aimed to synthesize, preclinically evaluate, and clinically validate a novel dual-targeted PET imaging probe Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) for its potential in imaging tumors.
Methods: The effects of Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) on cell viability, targeting specificity, and affinity were assessed in the U87MG cells.

Background: Drug-induced hypogonadism is an underrecognized but significant adverse effect of various medications, contributing to male sexual dysfunction and infertility. Despite its clinical significance, comprehensive studies systematically identifying high-risk drugs remain limited.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential drugs associated with hypogonadism from FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.

Purpose Of Review: This opinion article from the EAU Endourology Section critically summarizes the existing evidence on flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheaths (FANS) to determine if they represent a paradigm shift in managing kidney and ureteral stones with flexible ureteroscopy (FURS). This scoping review aims to synthesize recent findings on FANS efficacy, safety, and potential to overcome limitations of conventional ureteral access sheath (C-UAS) and other modalities.
Recent Findings: Current evidence demonstrates FANS significantly outperforms C-UAS.

Background: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a prevalent urological condition affecting men's health. This study aims to investigate the clinical efficacy of Qianlie Shutong (QLST) capsule in the treatment of CP/CPPS.
Methods: The medical records of patients with CP/CPPS who were admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were retrospectively analysed.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), characterised by prenatal or postnatal renal pelvis dilation, represents the primary cause of congenital paediatric hydronephrosis. UPJO may lead to impaired renal function in paediatric patients. Its pathogenesis includes genetic predisposition and anatomical abnormalities.
