In older patients with overactive bladder (OAB), mirabegron, a β3-adrenoreceptor agonist, represents an alternative treatment that may have a favorable risk-benefit profile. Our objective was to further examine the safety and tolerability of mirabegron versus placebo treatment in patients aged ≥ 65 years with OAB-wet.

Ureteral triplication is a rare anomaly with about 100 total cases reported in the literature. In this case presentation, we present a case of ureteral triplication in a young female with a history of neurogenic bladder secondary to L5 lipomeningocele who presented with recurrent febrile UTIs and VUR despite antibiotic prophylaxis.

Majority of men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been reported to experience erectile dysfunction (ED) in a lifetime. The aim of our study was to prospectively evaluate the postoperative condition of ED and premature ejaculation (PE) in men who underwent metabolic surgery for the treatment of T2DM.

The prevention of infections continues to be a challenge for many hospitals. We examined specific features of nursing leadership and found improvements in leadership were associated with a decrease in catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI).

Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is one of the few management options shown to improve outcomes in patients with detrusor underactivity (DU). This original research will investigate if preserved bladder contractility can predict a successful treatment with SNM.

Management of non-neurogenic, non-obstructive dysuria represents one of the most challenging dilemmas in urological practice. The main clinical symptom is the increase in residual urine. Voiding dysfunction is the main cause of dysuria or urinary retention, mainly due to the decrease in bladder contraction (the decrease in contraction amplitude or duration) or the increase in […]

Healthcare-associated infection (HAI) is a crucial factor influencing medical quality. Studies about HAI management situations are rare, especially for the Inner Mongolia region of China. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate management procedures and the overall evaluation of HAI in order to inform HAI management improvement more scientifically.

This study is aimed at assessing association between frailty and erectile dysfunction among Chinese elderly men. This community-based study was conducted with a sample of 341 Chinese elderly men (aged 60 to 83 years old) in Fuyang City (Anhui Province, China).

Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome has a negative impact on quality of life and prevalence increases with advanced age. Anticholinergics (AC) and beta-3 adrenergic agonists (β3a) are commonly prescribed medications for treatment of OAB.

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are common yet preventable. Healthcare professional behaviours, such as reducing unnecessary catheter use, are key for preventing CAUTI. Previous research has focused on identifying gaps in the national response to CAUTI in multiple settings in England.
