Ileal conduit and neobladder urinary diversions are frequently performed after radical cystectomy. However, complications after radical cystectomy may be different according to the type of urinary diversion. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication after surgery and increases costs, morbidity, and mortality of hospitalized patients. This study was performed to compare the incidence of...

In rural and sparsely populated areas, government issued pamphlets often recommend the construction of V-shaped diversions to protect personal property from flow-type landslides hazards, including debris flows. are advantageous because they attract low impact forces runup heights due their oblique angle. However, current design approaches empirical, so it is unclear what resisting wall required...

Abstract Zhu et al. (Science 380:1230, 2023, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adi6022 ) recently reported in Science that ‘water diversions’ carry a range of freshwater invasive non-native species (INNS) China, and make calls for the Chinese government to take actions monitor this invasion pathway prevent future spread. This issue is not confined China however. Water diversions, more commonly kn...

Eastern oysters growing in deltaic Louisiana estuaries the northern Gulf of Mexico must tolerate considerable salinity variation from natural climate variability (e.g., rainfall and stream run-off pushing isohalines offshore; tropical storms inshore) man-made diversions siphons releasing freshwater Mississippi River. These variations are predicted to increase with future change because increase...

After urinary diversion patients are at increased risk of long-term complications, including stones of the upper urinary tract and reservoir or conduit. Advances in instrumentation and techniques have expanded treatment options, while minimizing morbidity. Minimally invasive treatment methods include shockwave lithotripsy, antegrade and retrograde ureteroscopic lithotripsy and percutaneous neph...
