Evaluation of renal masses with CEST MRI: Protocol optimization and preliminary results
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose This study investigates the application of CEST MRI in human kidneys, with the overarching goal of developing CEST MRI for renal mass characterization. Here, the focus is on the development of a protocol and the proof‐of‐principle evaluation of CEST for the characterization of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

World Journal of Transplantation, 2011 About 10% of all renal allografts fail during the first year of transplantation and thereafter approximately 3%-5% yearly. Given that approximately 69 400 renal transplants are performed worldwide annually, the number of patients returning to dialysis following allograft failure is increasing.

Counting glomeruli in human kidney specimens using ex vivo MRI without contrast agents
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose The total number of glomeruli is an important indicator of kidney function and susceptibility to disease. Glomeruli, however, are difficult to image using MRI without contrast enhancement. For this reason, previous studies have used cationic ferritin as a contrast agent to detect glomeruli in ex vivo and in vivo perfused kidneys.

Cobotic Ultrasound Systems in Obstetric Assessment: A Scoping Review
Sonography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Surgical subspecialties have successfully combined robotic technology with traditional practices. In doing so, they have benefited from increased precision in techniques, reduced incidence of surgical complications, and reduced MSK disorders. This scoping review aims to examine the extent of cobotics in obstetric ultrasound.

Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy
Journal of Minimal Access Surgery, 2005 Of the various options for patients with end stage renal disease, kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for a suitable patient. The kidney for transplantation is retrieved from either a cadaver or a live donor. Living donor nephrectomy has been developed as a method to address the shortfall in cadaveric kidneys available for transplantation.

Surgical gestures—An emerging field for surgical assessment and training
UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract As surgical training shifts from a traditional method to a more standardized approach, objective analysis and assessment of surgeon performance has become a key focus. Surgical gestures, defined as the smallest independent units of instrument‐tissue interaction, offer a quantifiable way to analyze surgical performance.

Giant hydronephrosis: A rare cause of secondary hypertension
UroPrecision, EarlyView.Abstract Background Hypertension secondary to giant hydronephrosis (GH) is a rare but treatable renal condition mediated by the renin‐angiotensin‐aldosterone system and tubuloglomerular feedback. In adults, GH is often diagnosed late due to nonspecific abdominal symptoms that may not manifest until advanced stages.

Hand-assisted right laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy
International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2005 PURPOSE: Laparoscopic live donor nephrectomy has acquired an important role in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Laparoscopic harvesting of the right kidney is technically more challenging than that of the left kidney because of the short right ...
