Few studies have evaluated urine postvoid residuals (PVRs) and their risk factors during the post-partum (PP) period. The aim of this prospective study was to screen postvoid residuals in a cohort of patients in PP, and to identify the risk factors. ⋯ We were able to identify risk factors for PVR in the PP, such as the duration of labor, instrumental delivery and elevated volume of the first urination after delivery.

[Exponential use of social media in medicine: example of the interest of Twitter(©) in urology].
Social media (#SoMe) has changed the face of modern medicine. Our purpose was to asses the potential interest of Twitter in the field of urology. ⋯ Physicians need to respect the rules for a wise use of #SoMe in order not to break the Hippocratic Oath. There is a revolution around #SoMe and Twitter in the spread of scientific knowledge and academic teaching. International urologists are already committed in this evolution and France should also get involved.

The renal colic crisis is a pathology frequently encountered in foreign operations recently conducted by the French army and often requires a medical repatriation in mainland France. Soldiers deployed in arid areas are at increased risk of developing urolithiasis. The purpose of our study is to analyze the risk factors, the frequency and the methods of management of symptomatic urinary stone disease for French military returnees for renal colic during Serval operation. ⋯ The French military sent to Serval operation are exposed to multiple contributing factors of urolithiasis as the dehydration and the strong temperature. The analysis of our series reveals that the history of renal stone disease is the main factor favoring and the medical treatment is effective in almost all renal colic cases. The operational impact associated with this common condition in the Sahel region deserves an awareness of field practitioners to the screening and management of this disease in a precarious situation and a reflection of the staffs concerning the access onto the operating theater to appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic means that could facilitate the return to the combat unit.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of extracorporeal lithotripsy using lithotripter Sortz MODULITH SLK(®) without analgesics. ⋯ The extracorporeal lithotripsy could easily be done without systematic analgesics allowing for outpatient care. In contrast, anxiety seemed to be an important predictor of poor tolerance of sessions so the idea of a prophylactic anxiolytic treatment based on psychological profile of the patient should allow less aggressive and less costly management of urolithiasis.
