To be ethical means to try and satisfy as many groups as possible, and to try and not anger as many groups as possible. Some advancements in biological technology are truly great, but if they are wrong, the public will oppose them and any discovery will not be taken into action. It is vital to always conduct…

Cystoscopy and Standard TURB are still the gold standard procedure for the diagnosis and initial treatment of NMIBC. TURB has been carried out by using the monopolar resectoscopes. Recently, the bipolar resectoscopes, which is used for transurethral resection of the prostate, was introduced for the treatment of bladder cancer. Several advantages are associated with the use of bipolar technology: the fluid of irrigation is a saline solution, so reduction of morbidity due to the TUR syndrome,…

Allowing a student with a miniscule bladder to visit the restroom frequently is desirable compared to stymying the process because it is likely to encourage improved focus, healthier happiness, and ultimately, a sharpened classroom. Enduring day-to-day activities carrying the most microscopic of bladders can be rather cumbersome. To ease this burden, permitting a pupil to quietly exit the classroom can form a symbiotic relationship. In this relationship, the student is a beneficiary because…

Kidney stones are often formed in our kidneys, usually because of urine becomes highly concentrated, which allow the minerals and salts to stick together and form the stone (Mayo Clinic. The picture below from the New York Times, shows where kidney stones are usually formed, in the major calyces, where they then travel down the ureter, where it usually becomes painful (NYT). There are several objectives to this experiment:…
