This review discusses the strengths, weaknesses, and commonalities of each of nephrolithometric scoring systems.
Falls in the Elderly Secondary to Urinary Symptoms
Yousef Soliman, MD, Richard Meyer, MD, Neil Baum, MD
Falls and fractures have a significant impact on our patients, their families, and caregivers, and cost the health care system billions of dollars. Each year, millions of adults aged 65 and older fall. Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, such as hip fractures and head traumas, and can increase the risk of early death. Fortunately, falls are a public health problem that is largely preventable. Because many patients with falls and subsequent fractures have urologic conditions, urologists are positioned to help with the prevention of these significant and costly injuries. This article discusses the epidemiology of falls and fractures, and the urologic comorbidities that increase their risk.

Management of Vesicoureteral Reflux by Endoscopic Injection of Dextranomer/Hyaluronic Acid in Adults
Timothy W. Stark, MD, John M. Lacy, MD, David M. Preston, MD
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), though more commonly diagnosed in children, may present in adults and require management. The authors report a case of an elderly man presenting with recurrent episodes of pyelonephritis caused by high-grade VUR.
Adenomatoid Tumor of the Testis Arising From the Tunica Albuginea
Andrew Y. Sun, MD, A. Scott Polackwich, MD, Edmund S. Sabanegh, Jr, MD
Adenomatoid tumors are the most common paratesticular tumor. Although they primarily arise from the epididymis, they can rarely occur as an isolated intratesticular mass. These tumors are benign and surgical excision is curative. The authors present a case of a 36-year-old man diagnosed with an intratesticular adenomatoid tumor.
