"A lot of studies were done in a way that weren't randomized," says Christian Moro, PhD, BSc, BEd, MBus, SFHEA.

"We hypothesize that when we treat female sexual dysfunction, we can ultimately improve the dynamics between the couple, and therefore improve the male partner satisfaction with his IPP," says Thairo Pereira, MD.

"We're actually standardizing how to clean the catheter, because the system tells you exactly [how]," says Ana Lidia Flores-Mireles, PhD.

“Sometimes there's some difficulties with continuity of care, because I'm not the sole provider for that patient,” says Robert D. Hoy, MPAS, PA-C.

"The number of treatment centers that are offering stereotactic body radiation [grew] over the course of the study," says Michael Stencel, DO.

"I actually worked with several different urologists while we were developing this," says Jennifer Ann Meddings, MD.

"We ended up with 3091 participants overall, and 3 trends came out that were significant," says Christian Moro, PhD, BSc, BEd, MBus, SFHEA.

“The great news is that we have now completed recruitment. We actually recruited more than 1700 patients,” says Kari A.O. Tikkinen, MD, PhD.

"There are actually no clear guidelines on when to refer patients with nephrolithiasis to genetic testing," says Nicolette G. Payne, MD.

“One of our goals here with our program is to hopefully expand the APPs in the sexual medicine field,” says Kristy L. Mardis, NP.

"One of the things that's been identified is over 90% of the UTI presentations have found bugs that are antibiotic resistant," says Christian Moro, PhD, BSc, BEd, MBus, SFHEA.

“In addition, the average levels of the medication in the bloodstream, at least during the first 30 minutes, was higher,” says Steven A. Kaplan, MD.

"Our goal is that people would not be getting catheterized when they actually do not have sufficient urinary retention," says Jennifer Ann Meddings, MD.

"The great news is that we have now completed recruitment. We actually recruited more than 1700 patients," says Kari A.O. Tikkinen, MD, PhD.

"Pathogens can stay there for a long time, even if the contamination was really quick...It happens really fast," says Ana Lidia Flores-Mireles, PhD.

"We have incredible data based on long-term follow up that help us understand what the right therapy is for kids, primarily kids with neurologic diseases like spina bifida," says Rosalia Misseri, MD, FAAP.

"I think what's really important for this is that you counsel patients before they undergo testing," says Nicolette G. Payne, MD.

"But here at IU, we have an experimental protocol that's open that's called testicular tissue cryopreservation, and it's a collaboration with UPMC," says Amanda J. Saraf, DO.

William Tabayoyong, MD, PhD, highlights the University of Rochester’s upcoming Bladder Cancer Symposium, which will take place on September 14, 2024.

“I think particularly as we've had the technology for longer and we've used it more and become more comfortable with it, there's really nobody, necessarily, that can't be considered for it,” says Aaron M. Bernie, MD, MPH.

"It looks like there are a lot of practices that are reticent about employing same-day discharge," says Brian R. Lane, MD, PhD, FACS.

“While we do see a decrease in opioid use, we still want to make sure that the pain is addressed and that it's addressed correctly,” says Laura Gressler, MS, PhD.

“The other thing that I think would be interesting is there's the thought of vasectomy regret where because of the permanent nature, what proportion of patients have regret surrounding their decision?” says Catherine S. Nam, MD.

"We sought to describe the genetic and clinical characteristics for patients undergoing genetic testing at our institution that were referred to genetics from our multidisciplinary stone clinic," says Nicolette G. Payne, MD.

“So, the concept behind delivering something orally in a spray is to hopefully avoid the whole GI effect and get faster absorption,” says Steven A. Kaplan, MD.

"We had a really clear idea...[We were looking at] how we can better optimize the system for cleaning," says Ana Lidia Flores-Mireles, PhD.

“I think the future is very bright for endourology and pushing the envelope with different minimally invasive techniques to remove stones,” says Marcelino E. Rivera, MD.

"I think the patients that benefit the most are patients that have certain types of stones that potentially are much harder to treat with some of the more minimally invasive types of procedures," says John Michael DiBianco, MD.

“Within our department at University of Michigan, there has been increased numbers of vasectomy procedure days to be able to meet the demand so that there's not a very long prolonged delay for our patients,” says Catherine S. Nam, MD.
