TL;DR: It is shown that blood vessels in both a xenografted tumor and primary human tumors contain a sizable fraction of immature blood vessels that have not yet recruited periendothelial cells, suggesting that the unique dependence on VEGF of blood vessels lacking periENDothelial Cells can be exploited to reduce an existing tumor vasculature.

TL;DR: Dual-energy multidetector CT may enable accurate in vivo characterization of kidney stone composition by using dual-energy computed tomography with postoperative in vitro x-ray diffraction analysis as the reference standard.

TL;DR: The stone-free rate after ESWL for large renal stones is higher in young children compared to adults with matching stone size and the pediatric ureter is at least as efficient as the adult for transporting stone fragments afterESWL.

TL;DR: Erectile dysfunction is common in patients with pelvic fractures associated with urethral injury and it is believed that erectile function should be assessed and documented in such patients before attempting urethroplasty.

TL;DR: Small, recurrent papillary bladder tumors after resection of low-grade Ta tumor(s) pose minimal risk for the patient and a watchful waiting policy may be considered in these patients.
