Urinary calculi are characterized by high incidence and recurrence rate, which is a challenge in urology. The theory of Randall plaque is widely recognized by scholars. The mechanism of Randall plaque formation includes vascular calcification, osteogenic transformation and so on.
Background: There are limited data about urolithiasis in young infants, especially in class age younger than 2 years. Case presentation: We report the case of a child <2 years old (13 months) affected by metabolic urolithiasis (cystinuria), and renal hypertension.
Kidney stones affect nearly 10% of the population in North America and are associated with high morbidity and recurrence, yet novel prevention strategies are lacking. Recent evidence suggests that the human gut microbiota can influence the development of nephrolithiasis, although clinical trials have been limited and inconclusive in determining the potential for microbially based interventions.
We measured how much CO2 gas was used in urologic laparoscopic surgeries and studied whether the amount of gas was associated with postoperative pain. Four hundred sixty-three patients underwent urologic laparoscopic surgeries by a single surgeon.
Enterococcus faecalis is an opportunistic pathogen capable of causing infections, including endocarditis and urinary tract infections (UTI). One of the well-characterized quorum-sensing pathways in E.
Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are a leading cause of health care-associated infection. Catheter insertion bundles (IBs) and maintenance bundles (MBs) have been developed to prevent CAUTIs but have not been extensively validated for use in pediatric populations.
Objective: To investigate predictors of patient-reported urinary incontinence (PRUI) in the first 2 years after post-prostatectomy radiotherapy (PORT) with particular emphasis on possible dose-effect relationships.
To evaluate the effectiveness of SonoVue urethrosonography in diagnosing the adult male anterior urethral strictures pathology in comparison with retrograde urethrography. We standardised the method and performed a comparative study evaluating the diagnosis of urethral strictures using retrograde urethrography and retrograde ultrasonographic exploration with SonoVue on 6 male patients.
The artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) has become the gold standard to treat severe stress urinary incontinence in men. The traditional placement of an AUS requires 2 incisions. The cuff is placed through a perineal incision and the reservoir and pump are placed via an inguinal incision.
The aim of the study was to evaluate hysterectomized and non-hysterectomized patients with prolapse and incontinence. Laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy (LSHP) and minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (LMSCP) were done in combination with transobturator tape (TOT) and native tissue repair of the anterior and posterior vaginal compartments in patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and occult, stress, or urinary […]
