Patients' mean neuropilitometry score was calculated to be 7.75 S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry score statistically significant (P = .001) for prediction of stone-free status. S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry score was significantly correlated with operation time, estimated blood loss, duration of fluoroscopy, duration of hospital stay, and number of punctures. Complications were seen in 13 patients. Conclusions S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry score can be used as an objective criterion for predicting the complexity of the PCNL process. In addition, this scoring system is expected to provide more objective preoperative counseling and can provide standardization in academic studies.The recent candidate detection of ∼1 ppb of phosphine in the middle atmosphere of Venus is so unexpected that it requires an exhaustive search for explanations of its origin. Phosphorus-containing species have not been modeled for Venus' atmosphere before, and our work represents the first attempt to model phosphorus species in the venusian atmosphere. We thoroughly explore the potential pathways of formation of phosphine in a venusian environment, including in the planet's atmosphere, cloud and haze layers, surface, and subsurface. We investigate gas reactions, geochemical reactions, photochemistry, and other nonequilibrium processes. None of these potential phosphine production pathways is sufficient to explain the presence of ppb phosphine levels on Venus. If PH3's presence in Venus' atmosphere is confirmed, it therefore is highly likely to be the result of a process not previously considered plausible for venusian conditions. The process could be unknown geochemistry, photochemistry, or even aerial microbial life, given that on Earth phosphine is exclusively associated with anthropogenic and biological sources. The detection of phosphine adds to the complexity of chemical processes in the venusian environment a
