To dismiss #POCUS because it’s operator dependent is to miss the point. Clinical medicine itself is operator dependent. That’s precisely why we train, practice, and improve. Operator dependency is part of the art, not an excuse. #FOAMed #Nephpearls

Fun night at the ballpark watching the Cedar Rapids Kernels. While we didn’t get a W, great company and fireworks! Amanda Myers Kathryn Marchetti-Loebs Alexandria Hertz University of Iowa Urology

Dr. Kathryn Marchetti says she's lucky to be able to help people navigate complex health care decisions, while in her own work, she knows "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." Learn more about Kathryn Marchetti-Loebs, who joined our urologic oncology team in July:

Excited to be at New England Section of the AUA meeting to do a hands on #POCUS course with APPs with my POCUS partner Rus Korets MD 🇺🇦. Ready to get the sound waves going…

#POCUS session with APPs was fantastic! Great participation and set up (all due to Rus Korets MD 🇺🇦). Thanks to Samsung US for all the equipment. Need to get something like this to the North Central Section AUA in the future #embracethesound New England Section of the AUA University of Iowa Urology

Endo friends- Hx of stones sp SWL and URS. Large recurrent stone. PCNL performed (nothing special). Core of stone has stark white hollow lattice like structure (doesn’t break with Trilogy). Has anyone seen this b4? Foreign body from prior 🪨 procedure? Endourological Society

A very inspiring talk by Dr. Pearle on the fellowship tree and history of fellowships in Endourology. UMN Urology was instrumental in the beginning with Dr. Smith and Ralph V. Clayman Endourological Society #WCET25

Great work by Jace Leininger, MS4 Carver College of Medicine, presenting on the potential mineral load in #Iowa water from patient’s homes. ⬆️ water consumption can confer a ⬆️ Ca load!

A testament to the importance of mentorship and the exponential impact one can have in medicine. Amazing slides (as always) by Bradley A. Erickson University of Iowa Urology

Great work showing that salvage BCG can still be effective in some patients. Population enriched with T1 disease. Prior work by Vignesh Packiam, MD showing efficacy after #GemDoce. Need more data on sequencing! #SaveTheBladders pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC49…

Great work by Lola Lozano on this project! An obvious future ⭐️ in urology taking shape. Chad Tracy University of Iowa Urology

Ken is an encyclopedia of information (and a super awesome guy). Awesome to see him spreading that knowledge to others!

One of our urology OR techs made a literal Rolodex of our equipment so that it made it easier for the University of Iowa Urology residents to find stuff afterhours. #oldschool. Amazing. Also made sure to label things as they are called… looking at you Chad Tracy

Great to see the University of Iowa Urology faculty roster updated with all the awesome people who joined us this Fall! 😄 Kathryn Marchetti-Loebs Amanda Myers Alexandria Hertz Grant Henning Deepansh Dalela #DrHoganRandall

Our PET/MR scanner, the Biograph One, was delivered yesterday! Iowa is only the 2nd site in U.S. to get this state-of-the-art scanner. It will enhance pt access to advanced molecular imaging & offer exciting translational/clinical #research opportunities, esp in oncology & neuro.

Heartwarming moment: Unveiling of the portrait of Dr. Karl Kreder, MD MBA, to celebrate his tenure as the Chair of Urology ⁦University of Iowa Urology⁩. Under Karl’s leadership, the department had grown tremendously in clinical services, residency, NIH funding and research excellence.

Unreal to see the progress made in CF in <100 years. Also cool to see #MichaelWelsh Carver College of Medicine on that short list of those contributing to this work. There’s more than 🌽 happening in University of Iowa.

Excited to see this in print! In a pilot series of brushite stone formers: 📍80% had a genetic variant, 60% VUS 🧬 📍67% had variant associated with hypophosphatemic rickets More data 📊 needed to personalize prevention! Chad Tracy University of Iowa Urology link.springer.com/article/10.100…
