The cyber threat landscape in 2025 is shaped by increasingly sophisticated attacks, AI-powered cybercrime, and constant dangers to digital infrastructure. Cybersecurity experts worldwide discuss how ...

In virtual reality (VR), sound sources are convolved with room impulse responses (RIRs) to create immersive and dynamic audio experiences. Assessing the quality of spatial audio synthesis in VR is ...

The following is a summary of “Percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus retrograde intrarenal surgery on mid-sized lower calyx stones– a systematic review of last decade,” published in the April 2025 issue ...

This multicenter retrospective study aimed to assess the efficacy, intrarenal pressure (IRP), and complications of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using ...

The following is a summary of “Comparison of the efficacy and safety of mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy versus retrograde intrarenal surgery for the treatment of kidney stones in overweight or obese ...

RIRS with FV-UAS vs. ESWL for the management of 1–2 cm lower pole renal calculi in obese patients: a prospective study ...

The most common procedures employed to manage stones in the upper tract are shockwave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) (3). The ongoing advancements ...

This work presents a pattern-coupled structured sparse Bayesian learning method for reconstructing room impulse responses (RIRs) in the time domain. It exploits the temporal properties of RIRs for ...

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is the main treatments for upper urinary tract stones. The Ureteral Access Sheath (UAS) serves as a supplementary tool, facilitating direct kidney access during ...
