Does instrumentation and irrigation configuration affect intrarenal pressure during PCNL?
BJUI Compass, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Objectives To measure the effects of varying configurations of nephroscope sheath, irrigation, instruments, and suction on intrarenal pressure (IRP) during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Materials and Methods Kidney and ureter 3D printed models from a deidentified patient's CT scan were placed in a plaster and foam mould, simulating the ...

The effect of selenium supplementation on cystine crystal volume in patients with cystinuria
BioMedicine, 2018 Background: Cystinuria as an autosomal recessive sickness is a relatively rare disease. Formation of cystine stones indicates cystinuria. Few studies are considered the cysteine crystal volume in management of cystinuria.

Nephrolithiasis risk factors for obese patients on 24‐hour urine collection metabolic evaluation
BJUI Compass, Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Objectives Twenty‐four‐hour urine collections are obtained as part of the metabolic workup for nephrolithiasis to identify modifiable abnormalities for stone prevention. We sought to discern trends in the prevalence of abnormalities based on body mass index (BMI) (kg/m2).
