“The primary thing we found was that the average kidney–and we study the ipsilateral kidney, or the kidney that was operated on–fell at the natural aging process,” says Carlos Muñoz-Lopez.

"Some women are perceived as being less serious because they chose to build a family in training," says Christine Van Horn, MD.

“ChatGPT isn't yet ready to determine the quality of online text, but I think it's going to change in the future,” says Roei Golan.

Anna L. Myers, APRN-CNP, WHNP-BC, FNP-BC, IF, and Jean Marino, ARPN-CNP, NCMP, IF, preview an upcoming University Hospitals-led symposium titled, “What’s your pelvic floor plan? 2nd Annual Female Sexual Health Symposium.”

Yair Lotan, MD, explains how urine biomarker research needs to focus on how these markers can optimally fit into clinical algorithms for bladder cancer.

“I think this is a multidisciplinary approach,” says Monika Joshi, MD, MRCP.

“The more and more people we can get excited about this and collaborate with, the better results we're going to get and the more we're going to learn,” says Sunil H. Patel, MD, MA.

"Some of the issues have to do with the stressors of the physicality of being a surgical trainee," says Christine Van Horn, MD.

“I think we're thinking about bladder cancer in a different mindset,” says Sunil H. Patel, MD, MA.

“I think radiation therapy in bladder cancer could be divided into organ preservation, which is more for localized bladder cancer, as well as palliative approaches, which is very well known,” says Monika Joshi, MD, MRCP.

"We've made a lot of big strides in smoking incidence, however, we're still seeing the bladder cancer rates, even though a slight decrease, we're still seeing it holding on," says Sunil H. Patel, MD, MA.

"Our session this year is focusing on radiation across all the spectrums, so something more than our comfort zone or what the standard of care is," says Monika Joshi, MD, MRCP.

"Of the patients who underwent a prophylactic bladder neck incision... none of those patients developed a bladder neck contracture at 14 months of median follow-up," says Nicholas S. Dean, MD.

“The real immediate use case is that this biomarker can be an adjunct, or it can be something to assist in making the shared decision making with patients [with prostate cancer],” says Daniel E. Spratt, MD.

“Burnout is the end stage of unmanaged stress in the workplace,” says Diana Londoño, MD.

"We've been focused on improving the quality of care around ureteroscopy for kidney stones, especially around a post operative emergency department visits," says Khurshid R. Ghani, MD.

"It's been pretty consistent that our second-year urology residents are really suffering," says Amanda C. North, MD.

"It could identify about 2/3 of men that normally we'd be recommending hormone therapy would appear to have no benefit from hormone therapy," says Daniel E. Spratt, MD.

"As a result of this work, we came to the conclusion that maybe if you are going to stent someone, you should try and keep the stent time at a minimum of 4 or 5 days," says Khurshid R. Ghani, MD.

“I am lucky to work for a health care system that believes in serving the patients of the Bronx,” says Amanda C. North, MD.

"We're currently putting together... a toolkit that we can give to urologists and other providers in the community to help counsel their patients on some of the different avenues that they can go down to find more affordable medications," says Brian Cortese.

“Men with and without retention all do very well from the voiding standpoint with relatively low rates of complications,” says Claire S. Burton, MD.

“Learning how to disengage from stuff that can be pretty toxic and engaged in the stuff that's most meaningful, I think makes our lives better,” says Amanda C. North, MD.

"Right now, the longest-term studies are the WATER trials, which have published 5-year outcomes. But we know that a subset of men will require retreatment over time," says Claire S. Burton, MD.

“I couldn't change the fact that it was going to be a few months until I had help. But I could change my own response to the situation,” says Amanda C. North, MD.

“One of the things we do is communicate with our teams and help them with some guidance about how to make decisions about which patients can potentially be treated with alternative approaches,” says Hamid Emamekhoo, MD.

"What we found is that those with acute urinary retention took longer to ultimately pass their trial without a catheter, meaning that they were voiding without the use of any catheterization," says Claire S. Burton, MD.

“Because this was the largest trial ever of testosterone replacement therapy, although the primary point of the trial was cardiovascular safety, we embedded within the trial several efficacy and other sub studies,” says A. Michael Lincoff, MD.

“There are real, tangible consequences when we prescribe medications to our patients, not just the [adverse] effects studied in clinical trials,” says Brian Cortese.

“I think one of the hottest topics for advocacy right now relates to reimbursement for telemedicine,” says Amanda C. North, MD.
