To determine how kidney stone patients' knowledge, behaviors, and preferences toward fluid intake differed from those reporting being successful or unsuccessful at increasing fluid intake for prevention.Three hundred two kidney stone patients filled out a survey on stone history, fluid intake success, and knowledge, behaviors, and preferences toward fluid intake.

To evaluate the utility of using Internet search trends data to estimate kidney stone occurrence and understand the priorities of patients with kidney stones. Internet search trends data represent a unique resource for monitoring population self-reported illness and health information-seeking behavior.The Google Insights for Search analysis tool was used to study searches related to kidney stones,...
To determine whether gender variations in imaging and healthcare access are contributing to observed differences in renal cancer, we examine the initial events in the diagnosis of renal masses in a cohort of patients and correlate it with detailed data on imaging patterns over the same period.A total of 308 patients diagnosed with a renal mass over 11 years were reviewed. Information on symptoms,...
To report a weakness in the April 2006 release of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) dataset, in which the primary tumor size of small (<1.8 cm) metastatic renal cancers was often incorrectly coded into the dataset from the measurement as listed in the patient's chart.In the SEER dataset, 167 patients with tumor size ≤2.5 cm had metastatic disease at presentation in 1998-2003...
To report our experience with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy for the treatment of localized prostate carcinoma in 3 renal transplant recipients.We retrospectively identified all patients who had undergone laparoscopic prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer between 1999 and 2006 at our institution (n = 1067). Of these patients, 3 were renal transplant recipients (dual cadaveric...
To examine the racial differences in testicular cancer incidence, pathologic grade, stage, and survival with specific reference to Asian and white Americans and to evaluate the impact of disparities in stage at presentation, if present, on survival. Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we extracted all testicular cancer cases among white and Asian-American males...
We report an unusual case of testicular cancer metastasized solely in the brain and spleen without retroperitoneal disease or other widespread metastasis. The patient initially presented with seizures and underwent craniotomy for presumed primary brain tumor, with a delayed diagnosis of testicular cancer as the true primary. This pattern of spread is highly unusual, and, to our knowledge, we report...
