Urethral Steinstrasse following Laser Lithotripsy of Prostatic Urethral Calculi
Case Reports in Urology, 2018 Symptomatic prostatic calculi are rare occurrences with several management options, the most popular of which is currently transurethral laser lithotripsy. This is a generally well-tolerated procedure with minimal complications.

Rebounds of deformed cavitation bubbles
, 2018 Presented here are experiments clarifying how the deformation of cavitation bubbles affects their rebound. Rebound bubbles carry the remaining energy of a bubble following its initial collapse, which dissipates energy mainly through shock waves, jets ...
