Does higher frequency necessarily mean better lithotripsy? Our recent EAU Endourology Group systematic review of 22 studies involving 2,059 patients suggests that the answer is far from straightforward.

🖤 Lamentem la mort del Dr. Laureano Fernández-Cruz, referent de la cirurgia biliopancreàtica i dels #trasplantaments, i una figura clau en la història del #Clínic. Va liderar el primer trasplantament de pàncrees de l'Estat espanyol (1983), una fita pionera que forma part del seu extraordinari llegat mèdic i acadèmic. Descansi en pau

Cette photo mérite absolument tous les prix. Elle a même sa place au Louvre. Elle relate précisément l’inertie de l’individu face à l’effondrement. Regardez la composition. Un chef-d’œuvre involontaire. Au premier plan, le sable doré, les tongs abandonnées, la glacière. Le décor ordinaire du bonheur estival. Deux personnages assis, de dos, comme dans un tableau de Caspar David Friedrich. Sauf que Friedrich peignait des hommes contemplant le sublime. Ici, ils contemplent la catastrophe. Et ils ne bougent pas. Au centre, le parasol. Publicitaire, criard, dérisoire. Un pastis face à l’apocalypse. C’est presque trop parfait : la France qui prend l’apéro pendant que le monde brûle. Aucun scénariste n’aurait osé. Et puis le ciel. Les deux tiers de l’image. Cette muraille de fumée qui avale la lumière, ce dégradé d’ocre et de noir digne d’un Turner. La nature qui reprend la palette des maîtres pour peindre notre propre fin. La femme photographie l’incendie avec son téléphone. Mise en abyme totale : nous documentons notre disparition au lieu de l’empêcher. Cette image dit tout. Le déni, le confort, l’habitude. Nous sommes tous sur cette plage. Nous voyons tous le nuage. Et nous restons assis, parce que l’eau est bonne et qu’on a posé nos congés. Les historiens de l’art parleront un jour de cette photo comme on parle du Radeau de la Méduse. Sauf que cette fois, le naufrage, c’est nous qui le regardons depuis la plage. 💔🌍

A Gaudí siempre le preguntaban cuando acabarían lss obras, y el siempre respondía que su cliente no tiene prisa. Para Antoni Gaudí, que murió tal día como hoy, hace 100 años, ingresado en un hospicio porque lo tomaron por un mendigo tras ser atropellado por un tranvía, habría sido un sueño saber que el Papa, los Reyes de España, el presidente del Gobierno y de la Generalitat, el alcalde de Barcelona y una larga lista de autoridades estarían, un siglo después, rindiéndole homenaje y mirando al cielo para ver cómo se iluminaba la torre de la iglesia más alta del mundo. La epopeya de la Sagrada Familia, 144 años en construcción, y que aún no ha acabado, ha tenido uno de sus días para la historia con la solemne ceremonia religiosa que ha culminado con la bendición del Papa a la Torre de Jesucristo. Otro momento que hará que la imagen de Barcelona dé la vuelta mundo, con 9.000 personas dentro del templo y 130.000 en el exterior Y lo de los drones eso ya no se como expresarlo, mejor verlo.

New nationwide study from Colombia (65M+ healthcare records, 2010–2024) confirms what many suspected: kidney stone disease is not an isolated urological condition — it is a cardiometabolic phenotype. Among 1.8 million stone formers, every comorbidity tested showed significantly higher prevalence vs. non-stone formers: hypertension (PR 2.94), dyslipidemia (PR 2.95), diabetes (PR 2.79), obesity (PR 2.45), ischemic heart disease (PR 2.72), stroke (PR 1.97), and CKD (PR 3.36). The pediatric signal is striking: CKD prevalence ratio reached 18.76 in children aged 0-9 with urolithiasis — driven by monogenic disorders, not metabolic risk, which underscores the need for early genetic workup and lifelong renal surveillance in every child diagnosed with stones. Clinical implication: stone formers deserve systematic cardiometabolic screening — BP, lipids, glucose, renal function — at every encounter. The stone is the symptom. The system is the patient. 🔗 tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1…

Having real-time pressure and temperature right in front of your eyes, in a 7.5 Fr scope with intelligent irrigation and suction, makes RIRS remarkably smooth and controlled. A 2 cm stone, >1000 HU, cleared in 15 minutes with zero residual fragments. @zebrascope keep going

New publication in the @wjurol on renal functional outcomes after RIRS vs mPCNL. In a multicenter cohort of 606 patients, the authors found comparable postoperative renal function trends and similar AKI/AKD rates between procedures. #Urology #Endourology #RIRS #PCNL #KidneyStones
