Cost‐effectiveness of percutaneous nephrostomy vs JJ stent in obstructive urolithiasis: economic evaluation alongside the STent Or NEphrostomy (STONE) randomised controlled trial

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objective To evaluate whether percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is cost‐effective compared to JJ ureteric stent in the acute treatment of obstructive urolithiasis. Patients and Methods A randomised controlled non‐inferiority trial with 204 patients with obstructive urolithiasis requiring decompression.

Patient‐reported outcome measures of percutaneous nephrostomy vs JJ stent in obstructive urolithiasis: results of the STent Or NEphrostomy (STONE) randomised controlled trial

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objective To compare the effects of percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and JJ ureteric stent (JJ) for urinary tract decompression in patients with obstructive urolithiasis on health‐related quality of life (HRQoL), pain scores, urinary symptoms, and patient satisfaction.

Malignant craniopharyngiomas: Institutional experience and literature review

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
We report the second case of malignant craniopharyngioma with BAP1 and TP53 mutations. A literature review identified 44 cases of malignant craniopharyngiomas with a median overall survival of 6 months. Eighteen (41%) occurred in patients without any history of radiation, suggesting that mechanisms other than radiation have contributed to their ...

Encoding Occupancy in Memory Location for Efficient and Compact High‐Resolution Voxel Structures

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We encode information about geometric structure into the pointers of a sparse voxel directed acyclic graph (SVDAG). Each pointer carries information about the structure of the node it points to. Our encoding improves ray tracing performance and reduces model size in memory.

LPC18:0 Secreted by Exogenous Neural Stem Cells Potentiates Neurogenesis and Functional Recovery via GPR55‐Mediated Signalling in Spinal Cord Injury

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
LPC18:0 secreted by exogenous neural stem cells potentiates neurogenesis via the GPR55/AKT/GSK3β signalling axis, which ultimately promotes spinal cord injury recovery. ABSTRACT Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition with limited therapeutic options. Although neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation shows regenerative potential, its efficacy

Long‐term outcomes of gastric bypass surgery in two Lusitano foals: Contemporary evidence for surgical decision‐making

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Gastric outflow obstruction (GOO) occasionally requires surgical intervention in foals when medical management fails. Current literature lacks consensus on several surgical decisions, with most comprehensive reports dating back over a decade. Critical aspects—including jejunal loop orientation and necessity of jejunojejunostomy—remain debated ...
