Article Abstract

Hyperparathyroidism with urinary calculus as the initial symptom is common; however, carcinomas of the parathyroid gland are rare. Moreover, synchronous cancers have rarely been reported. A man in his 50s presented to our hospital with a 1-month history of left lumbar back pain. After close examination, urinary calculus, parathyroid carcinoma, and lung cancer were detected. He underwent surgical treatment followed by additional anticancer drugs. Two and a half years following his first visit to our hospital, no recurrence has been observed. Parathyroid carcinoma should be considered as a cause of urinary calculus, and synchronous cancers, including rare cancer, can also exist.

Calcium oxalate (CaOx) stones are prevalent in urinary tract stone disease. While their formation can be induced in rats by administering ethylene glycol and vitamin D, the initial nucleation and formation processes are unclear. Here, we aimed to determine where CaOx crystals initially form, examine the associated histological and morphological changes, and clarify the genes whose expression varies at those sites and their function.

Introduction: Kidney stone disease is associated with numerous cardiovascular risk factors. However, the findings across studies are non-uniformly consistent, and the control of confounding variables remains suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate the association between kidney stone and cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To develop and validate a prognostic nomogram for predicting the risk of proximal ureteral impacted calculi, supporting personalized clinical management.

Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study employed a continuous cohort of 391 patients with proximal ureteral stones treated between January 2021 and April 2024. Data from Longyan People's Hospital (affiliated with Xiamen Medical College) comprised the training set, while independent external validation was performed using data from The Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common technique in the surgical management of renal lithiasis, but it also represents a significant workload for surgeons. Factors such as the patient's position and the type of lithotripter used influence the physical and mental load on the surgeon. The study aimed to identify stressors related to PCNL by comparing the physical and mental workload experienced by urologists during PCNL under different patient positions and using two lithotripters.

Background: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy using a semi-rigid ureteroscope is the standard treatment for urinary stones. Doxazosin-an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor blocker-relaxes ureteral smooth muscles, reducing peristalsis and contraction frequency. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive doxazosin before semi-rigid ureteroscopy and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for urinary stones.
