- Effectiveness and safety of external physical vibration lithecbole for upper urinary stone expulsion: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Systematic Review]Can J Urol. 2026 Apr 15; 33(2):309-323.CJ
- CONCLUSIONS: Adjunctive EPVL improves short-term stone clearance after ESWL or RIRS without adding measurable risk and may also be associated with a reduced incidence of complications. Where available, EPVL can be considered as a non-invasive option to enhance fragment clearance, particularly for lower-pole renal stones. Further multicenter trials are needed to confirm long-term outcomes and generalizability.

- Clinical Predictors and Histopathological Spectrum of Nondiabetic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes. [Journal Article]Ann Afr Med. 2026 May 06. [Online ahead of print]AA
- CONCLUSIONS: Since several diseases, including MN, IgA nephropathy and AIN, are frequently treatable or even curable, our study demonstrated the need for early suspicion and diagnosis of NDKD.

- Application of an external drainage tube in pneumovesicoscopic ureteral reimplantation using the Politano-Leadbetter technique in children. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The application of external stent drainage in PVUR-PL is reliable and effective. Compared with internal drainage, it may offer potential benefits in terms of reducing the need for additional anesthesia, hospital stay, and costs. Furthermore, shortening the duration of stent indwelling may reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. This method possesses significant potential for clinical application.

- Mepolizumab as a Possible Treatment for Eosinophilic Ureteritis. [Case Reports]Cureus. 2026 Apr; 18(4):e106338.C
- Eosinophilic ureteritis (EU) is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the ureter, often presenting with flank pain, hematuria, or obstructive uropathy. Fewer than 30 cases have been reported in the literature, and no standardized treatment strategy currently exists. We report the case of a 54-year-old woman with a history of eosinophilic cystitis who develope…

- Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) of the kidney is an extremely rare and aggressive malignancy, accounting for less than 1% of renal tumors. This report presents a 42-year-old male who initially presented with hematuria and intermittent fever, with imaging studies suggesting a renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis, including CD99 positivity and NKX2.2 nuclear…

- CONCLUSIONS: Day-case HoLEP is a safe and feasible option that does not increase patient risk and should be considered in routine practice. Prostate volume >90g is the only significant predictor of failure, while other patient-related factors have no impact.

- Temporal Patterns and Resolution of Toxicities Following Hypofractionated Salvage Radiotherapy for Biochemical Recurrence of Prostate Cancer After Prostatectomy. [Journal Article]Prostate. 2026 May 03. [Online ahead of print]P
- CONCLUSIONS: With a median follow-up of 18.2 months, hypofractionated salvage radiotherapy demonstrates favorable short-to-intermediate term tolerability, with infrequent severe toxicities. Vigilant monitoring for late-onset rectal bleeding and hematuria is recommended during the 6-24 months after treatment to optimize patient management. Longer follow-up is required to confirm long-term safety.

- CONCLUSIONS: This study presents the first reported pediatric FNG case internationally associated with the FN1 p.Thr1917del mutation and offers histological evidence suggestive of a possible systemic extracellular matrix proteinopathy. Our findings underscore the value of fibronectin staining and FN1 genetic testing in patients with atypical MPGN and broaden the disease's clinical and genetic profile.

- Upper Urinary Tract Clot Obstruction After Delayed Hemorrhage Following Partial Nephrectomy: A Possible Association With Tranexamic Acid. [Case Reports]Cureus. 2026 Mar; 18(3):e106136.C
- We report a case of delayed hemorrhage occurring four weeks after robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. The patient, a 59-year-old lady, presented with gross hematuria and hemodynamic instability. Computed tomography (CT) angiography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm arising from the resection site. As part of the major hemorrhage protocol, the patient received blood products…

- A 59-year-old female patient was admitted due to a vaginal mass detected one month ago. There is no family history of malignant tumors, nor any relevant complications. One month prior, she incidentally palpated a cystic mass on the anterior vaginal wall while bathing. She reported no dysuria, hematuria, abdominal pain, or vaginal bleeding. Over the past week, she developed dysuria with interrupte…

- A rare case of renal AHL amyloidosis with marked complement deposition: clinicopathologic and proteomic findings. [Journal Article]BMC Nephrol. 2026 Apr 30. [Online ahead of print]BN
- CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates a presentation of AHL amyloidosis with marked complement deposition. Recent study reveals that complement components can be detected in a subset of amyloidosis cases. These features can complicate the differential diagnosis from FGN and highlight the importance of an integrated diagnostic approach combining histopathology, immunostaining, and proteomic analysis. Furthermore, clone-directed therapy targeting the pathogenic plasma cell clone may represent a rational therapeutic strategy for monoclonal immunoglobulin-associated renal disease.

- CONCLUSIONS: Non-RCC kidney cancers present with a variety of clinical features, predominantly in males, and are generally diagnosed after symptom onset. SCC and UTUC are the most common histopathological subtypes. Early identification and accurate pathological classification are essential for optimal treatment strategies and prognosis.

- Tubular adenoma of the urinary bladder is an exceptionally rare intestinal-type glandular neoplasm that may mimic urothelial malignancy. Among approximately 82 reported enteric-type bladder adenomas, only four represent pure tubular adenomas. We report a case in a 78-year-old woman presenting with gross hematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a suspicious lesion, and transurethral resection was performed.…
