Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a Special Issue, entitled “New Advances in Urology and Nephrology Disease: From Diagnosis to Treatment”, to be published in the journal Medicina (ISSN: 1648-9144, IF 2.6).

The modern era has brought about both technological and molecular advancements to the field of medicine. Regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and progression of a variety of diseases, new frontiers and horizons have emerged over time. All of these occurrences have occurred very rapidly, and medical personnel are frequently confronted with the challenge of rapidly acquiring new information for the patient's benefit.

Urology and nephrology are two closely related specialties in which collaboration is frequently the key to effective treatment. In the disciplines of surgery and medicine, the rate of new discoveries is likely at its peak. By enhancing medical equipment robotics, laparoscopy, and endourology, as well as further training personnel, these factors can contribute to improved postoperative outcomes. Increasingly, new imaging technologies shorten the duration of the diagnostic process and enhance patients' prognoses. In the battle against chronic diseases, the emergence of new biomarkers and diagnostic schemes, as well as new treatment modalities, help urological and nephrological patients, improving their chances of recovery or their quality of life.

Modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, human augmentation, and brain science will enable greater advancements and will demonstrate their efficacy in assisting physicians in providing better medical care.

This Special Issue solicits studies that will expand the teaching and clinical application of these recent advances or their results in the fields of urology and nephrology. In addition to research that has steadily improved existing problems, we embrace papers that present new opportunities.

We cordially invite you to submit a paper to this Special Issue, and we would greatly appreciate it if you would recommend it to your colleagues. If you are interested in contributing an article, please let us know as soon as possible.

Please provide a working title and brief abstract in advance so that we can conduct a suitability check. The final submission deadline is 31 August 2024.

Sincerely,
Dr. Razvan-Ionut Popescu
Prof. Dr. Bogdan Florin Geavlete
Dr. Daniel George Radavoi
