Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is the most common subtype of urinary incontinence, which causes many social, psychological, and economic problems. Mid-urethral sling (MUS) surgery is popular worldw...
A prospective, randomized study was planned with 126 women suffering from SUI. The patients were randomly divided into two groups, TOT and mMUS. In mMUS, the obturator membrane was not perforated. The...
In total, 96 patients completed 3-year follow-up (TOT, n = 49 and mMUS, n = 47). There was no statistical difference between the procedures in terms of cure rates (87.75% and 87.23%, respectively; p =...
We showed that the mMUS procedure was as safe and effective as TOT, with less postoperative groin pain and complications....
Rapid point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of bacterial infection diseases provides clinical benefits of prompt initiation of antimicrobial therapy and reduction of the overuse/misuse of unnecessary antibiot...
To investigate the effect of comprehensive care based on appropriate Chinese medicine techniques on urinary retention and bladder function recovery after total hysterectomy in patients with cervical c...
A total of 148 cases admitted after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer from January 2019 to early September 2019 were used as the observation sample and were divided into control and experimenta...
The experimental group had better urinary catheter retention time, time to first spontaneous voiding, time to get out of bed, and time to anal discharge than the control group; the experimental group ...
The implementation of comprehensive care based on appropriate Chinese medicine techniques can relieve patients' difficulty in urination and improve their quality of life....
Urinary tract infection is one of the most common adverse events following onabotulinumtoxinA injection for urgency incontinence. Our hypothesis was that those undergoing injection for urgency inconti...
We conducted a multi-center retrospective cohort study in females who underwent onabotulinumtoxinA injection for non-neurogenic urgency incontinence to evaluate the effect of single- vs. multi-dose pr...
Two hundred eighty-one patients were included from four centers. The single-dose cohort included 145 patients (51.6%), and the multi-dose cohort included 136 patients (48.4%). The mean age was 65 year...
In females with non-neurogenic urgency incontinence undergoing onabotulinumtoxinA injection, multi-dose prophylactic antibiotic regimens were not associated with lower post-procedure urinary tract inf...
We compared the performance of STANDARD F S. pneumoniae Ag FIA with that of BinaxNOW S. pneumoniae Antigen Card using 206 urine samples. The performance of STANDARD F was highly comparable to that of ...
The aim was to evaluate the effects of renal denervation (RDN) on autoregulation of renal hemodynamics and the pressure-natriuresis relationship in Ren-2 transgenic rats (TGR) with aorto-caval fistula...
We report a case of accidental N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue migration into the vertebral artery (VA) via dangerous anastomosis during transarterial embolization (TAE) for transverse sinus (TS)-...
A 49-year-old right-handed female patient was admitted to our hospital with motor aphasia. MRI revealed congestion in the left temporal and occipital lobes, involving a small hemorrhage. DSA revealed ...
TAE using NBCA is useful for the treatment of DAVF; however, it should be noted that there is a risk of migration via potential anastomotic routes. Low-concentration NBCA glue can be retrieved using t...
In sepsis, initial resuscitation with fluids is followed by efforts to achieve a negative fluid balance. However, patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) often need diuretic or re...
In this prospective, multicenter study 100 patients with sepsis (diagnosed < 48h), AKI stage ≥ 2, and an indication for negative fluid balance were included between 02/2020 and 12/2022. All patients r...
32% (n = 32/99) of SA-AKI patients eventually required RRT within 7 days. With the FST, urine TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 decreased within 2 h from 3.26 ng...
The combined application of an upstream FST followed by urinary TIMP-2*IGFBP-7 measurements supports highly specific identification of SA-AKI patients requiring RRT. Upcoming interventional trials sho...
The preservation of the bladder neck during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) could improve urinary continence recovery and limit the risk of positive surgical margins (PSMs). We refined our...
From a retrospective analysis of 599 consecutive RARPs, 171 patients treated with the lateral and 171 patients treated with the anterior approach were pair-matched 1:1 on the basis of age, grade, and ...
As compared to the anterior approach, the lateral approach had shorter operative times and comparable rates of basal PSMs and postoperative complications. The rates of urinary continence after one, th...
The lateral approach leads to an anatomical dissection of the bladder neck without increasing the risk of PSMs. However, no significant benefits in terms of continence recovery were demonstrated over ...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have predominantly focused on populations of European and Asian ancestry, limiting our understanding of genetic factors influencing kidney disease in Sub-Saharan...
Urine biomarkers and genotype data were obtained from two SSA cohorts (AWI-Gen and ARK), and two non-resident African-ancestry studies (UK Biobank and CKD-Gen Consortium). Association testing and meta...
Two genome-wide significant (P < 5 × 10...
This study contributes novel insights into the genetic architecture of kidney disease in SSA populations, emphasizing the need for conducting genetic research in diverse cohorts. The identified loci p...
