TL;DR: Explosions in confined spaces are associated with aHigher incidence of primary blast injuries, with more severe injuries and with a higher mortality rate in comparison with explosions in the open air.

TL;DR: Proper patient selection for robotic surgery and nerve-preservation appears to be critical in order to reduce PSM and optimize the oncologic efficacy of this technology.

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: Microwave induced hyperthermia combined with MMC has promising value in intermediate or high risk superficial bladder cancer patients compared to literature data of BCG and/or intravesical chemotherapy, particularly where other treatments, i.e. BCG, have failed.

TL;DR: Isolated eardrum perforation in survivors of explosions does not appear to be a marker of concealed pulmonary blast injury nor of a poor prognosis, Therefore, in a mass casualty event, persons who have sustained isolated eard Rum Perforation from explosions may safely be discharged from the emergency department after chest radiography and a brief observation period.
