In a two-year U.S. trial of 1,658 adolescents and adults with prior kidney stones, a technology-assisted hydration program modestly increased urine output but did not significantly reduce symptomatic stone recurrences compared with standard care.
PGA Tour golfer Ryan Fox withdrew from The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass hours before his scheduled tee time on Thursday, citing kidney stones that required surgery.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a magnetic gel that coats kidney stone fragments, allowing for their removal in bulk using a magnetic wire. Tested successfully in pigs, the technique aims to reduce tissue damage and the need for repeated surgeries compared to standard methods. Experts praise it as a promising alternative to current procedures.
