Auris is proud to announce that two of our sponsored teams won awards at the 2019 FIRST Robotics Competition!
The FIRST Robotics Competition is a competition in which teams of 10 or more high school students raise funds, develop branding for the team, and build and program industrial-size robots to play a field game against competitors throughout the season. The competition provides high schoolers with as close to real-world robotics experience as they can get, and students with both technical and non-technical skills are invited to join. Seasons run from January through April, with District and Regional competitions to select qualifying teams for the FIRST Championship, which ends the season.
Auris sponsored two teams: Team 254 - The Cheesy Poofs, from Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose California; and Team 971 - Spartan Robotics from Mountain View High in Mountain View, California. Both teams were Regional Winners at the San Francisco Regional event. Additionally, these teams won the awards below during the season.
Team 254 - The Cheesy Poofs (Bellarmine College Preparatory)
Team 971 - Spartan Robotics (Mountain View High)
Auris is proud to have been a sponsor for these teams, which help students hone their skills and build real-world experience. Congratulations to Teams 254 and 971 for a successful FIRST Robotics season!

Complications from bronchoscopy are rare and most often minor, but if they occur, may include breathing difficulty, vocal cord spasm, hoarseness, slight fever, vomiting, dizziness, bronchial spasm, infection, low blood oxygen, bleeding from biopsied site, or an allergic reaction to medications. Only rarely do patients experience other more serious complications (for example, collapsed lung, respiratory failure, heart attack and/or cardiac arrhythmia).
Urology:
Adverse effects from both Mini-PCNL and Ureteroscopy include pain, urinary tract infection, fever, hematuria (presence of blood in urine), exposure to low levels of radiation, retained or residual stones.
Adverse effects from ureteroscopy may include pain, perforation or injury to the ureter, resulting in extravasation of fluid and urine (urinoma), stricture of the ureter with risk of subsequent obstruction (hydronephrosis needing further repair), rare avulsion of the ureter, urinary blood clots, residual stones.
PCNL access may result in minor and major adverse effects. Minor effects include fever and nephrostomy leak. Major adverse effects may include injuries to pleura, liver, spleen, large vessels with related bleeding, gallbladder, duodenum, jejunum, colon with related cutaneous fistula, fever, pain, ileus, elevated counts.
Major adverse effects related to stone removal may include infection and urosepsis, intravascular fluid overload, extravasation of fluid, and post percutaneous nephrolithotomy bleeding.
