Abstract available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27669068 Editorial Comment: This in vitro model demonstrates that physical forces may prompt kidney stone motion. Clinical studies are currently being conducted assessing ultrasound energy displacement of kidney stones. Inversion, mechanical vibration and diuresis have previously been found to augment passage of lower pole renal stone fragments. Dean G. Assimos, MD

Abstract available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27658661 Editorial Comment: This placebo controlled study showed that a single belladonna and opium suppository administered just before ureteroscopy resulted in less pain with urination, better quality of life and a better quality of work score. The subjects in both groups were also treated with tamsulosin. These results may be due to preemptive treatment of pain. Thus, these may be additional ingredients for a stent pain cocktail! Dean G.

Abstract available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27629239 Editorial Comment: Performance of stone removing procedures has increased in Australia and the majority of procedures are ureteroscopic. This finding is consistent with North American trends and is likely driven by ureteroscopy being a point of service procedure with favorable comparative effectiveness. Dean G. Assimos, MD

Pais, Jr. Section of Urology, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire, and Department of Urology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota Urology 2016; Epub ahead of print. doi: 10.1016/j.urology.2016.09.012
Abstract available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27641935 Editorial Comment: This retrospective study demonstrated that patients who manifest systemic inflammatory response syndrome after percutaneous nephrolithotomy are not at increased risk for readmission to the hospital compared to those who do not display this response. The only factor observed to be predictive of readmission was presence of struvite stones. The presence of a positive stone culture, which is observed in the majority of patients harboring struvite calculi, is a known risk factor for systemic inflammatory response syndrome after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The limitations of this study are that it was retrospective, and thus things were not done in a standard manner. Dean G. Assimos, MD
