Editorial: future of ureteral stents: what do we need? a pearls opinion.

Ureteral stents, introduced in 1960s, are essential for managing upper urinary tract pathologies, maintaining ureteral patency in conditions like obstruction, trauma and post-surgery. However, stent-related symptoms (SRS) including pain, dysuria, and urinary frequency, remain a significant clinical challenge. Advances in stent design, biomaterials, drug-eluting catheters and biodegradable options ...

AI in Point-of-Care Imaging for Clinical Decision Support: Systematic Review of Diagnostic Accuracy, Task-Shifting, and Explainability.

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) integrated with point-of-care imaging is a promising approach to expand access in settings with limited specialist availability. However, no systematic review has comprehensively evaluated AI-assisted clinical decision support across multiple point-of-care imaging modalities, assessed explainability implementation, or quantified clinical impact evidence gap...

Anatomically parameterised statistical shape modelling of LVAD-supported left ventricles for thrombosis risk assessment.

Heart failure remains a major global burden, and limited donor availability has made left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) a critical alternative. H...

Unsupervised Agglomerative Cluster Phenotyping of Young Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
