To characterize trends in vasectomy utilization, delivery, and failure a large administrative database. We used the Merative MarketScan (2007-2021) Commercial Database to identify vasectomized men. Vasectomy (VF) was defined as documented pregnancy ≥ 6 months postprocedure. Additional outcomes include need for repeat within 1 year birth rates. Logistic regression Cox proportional hazard were analyze factors associated with failure. In cohort of 489,277 men, mean (SD) age 38 (6) years, most...

We present a case of reverse McConnell's sign, rare echocardiographic finding right ventricular apical hypokinesis and basal hyperkinesis, in patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome septic shock. Although multiple etiologies were hypothesized, providers attributed this cardiomyopathy to increased heart afterload from hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction. Cardiac function normalized as the patient's failure sepsis resolved. This study highlights value early echocardiography help guide...

Increasing data suggests that androgen receptor signaling may play an important role in the carcinogenesis of urothelial cancers. While chemoprotective effect 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARi) on bladder cancer risk men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) has been explored conflicting results, evidence regarding 5-ARi treatment, and incident Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC) development is lacking. Therefore, our objective was to investigate impact administration incidence new...

Hypercalcemia and nephrolithiasis have been associated with various etiologies, including dysregulation of the parathyroid glands, malignancies, or sarcoidosis. Other causes hypercalcemia, such as granulomatous disease resulting from silicone-based cosmetic injections, reported but without specific emphasis on nephrolithiasis. Herein, we report an unusual case simultaneous bilateral obstructing ureteral calculi (SBUC) triggered by recalcitrant hypercalcemia due to injections. A careful...

Background There is a lack of understanding the clinical significance detrusor contraction duration (DCD) measured on urodynamic studies (UDS). We aimed to identify patient characteristics, presenting symptoms and parameters associated with DCD in women. Methods Using single-institution database UDS (2015-2019), 405 female patients measurable contractions were identified. Baseline analyzed. Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) was characterized using Blaivas-Groutz nomogram. Wilcox Rank Sum...
