DOI: 10.1089/end.2017.0084
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Understanding the factors affecting success of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) would improve informed decision-making on the most appropriate treatment modality for an individual patient. Although stone size and skin-to-stone distance do correlate with fragmentation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/end.2022.0402
Abstract: Introduction and Objective Both ureteroscopy (URS) and shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) are cornerstones in the surgical management of urolithiasis in the United States. We hypothesized that URS utilization outpaced SWL utilization in recent years and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2017/7802672
Abstract: Objective To investigate whether the visualization modality (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) used during shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) affects the clinical outcome in those instances where both imaging modalities are optional. Methods Between November 2014 and July 2016,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0187278
Abstract: Subjective well-being includes ‘affect’ and ‘satisfaction with life’ (SWL). This study proposes a unified approach to construct a profile of subjective well-being based on social media language in Facebook status updates. We apply sentiment analysis… read more here.
