Burns & Trauma, 2014 • April 1, 2014
This literature review examined the impact of trauma injuries (SCI, TBI, and burns) on the sexuality and quality of life (QoL) of survivors. It highlights the frequent neglect of sexuality in rehabili...
KEY FINDING: Physiological issues, such as sexual dysfunction, pain, medication side effects, and decreased libido, significantly affect sexuality across SCI, TBI, and burn trauma groups.
British Medical Journal, 1986 • January 25, 1986
The article discusses the urological management of patients with spinal cord injuries, emphasizing the importance of preserving renal function and achieving continence. Early management strategies inc...
KEY FINDING: Intermittent self-catheterization offers excellent long-term outcomes regarding infection rates, calculus development, and renal function compared to other bladder management methods.
Urology Annals, 2015 • July 1, 2015
The study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of OnabotulinumtoxinA injections for treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity in patients with spinal cord injuries. Botox injections led to significa...
KEY FINDING: Urodynamic parameters such as maximum cystometric bladder capacity and reflex volume improved significantly after Botox treatment compared to baseline values.
The Journal of Spinal Cord Medicine, 2022 • June 18, 2020
This study investigated the feasibility of restoring the penile sensory pathway in rats with spinal cord injury using end-to-side dorsal root transfer neurorrhaphy. The results showed that the procedu...
KEY FINDING: Neural labeling tests indicated the integrity of the rebuilt penile afferent pathway, suggesting a successful reconnection of nerves.
Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2020 • September 7, 2020
This study evaluated the correlation between neuropsychological test outcomes and urological problems in adults with spina bifida (SB) to determine if cognitive impairment increases the risk of urolog...
KEY FINDING: The study found that the SB population, on average, scored approximately 1 SD below the median for the general population on neuropsychological tests.
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2022 • December 16, 2021
The study analyzes 106 blunt renal trauma cases, with a focus on sports-related injuries, at a Level 1 Trauma Center in Austria. It finds that sports-related renal trauma is more likely to be isolated...
KEY FINDING: Sports-associated blunt renal trauma is more likely to occur isolated and has a lower risk of severe outcomes compared to other trauma mechanisms.
Cancers, 2022 • January 29, 2022
The urinary bladder is an immunogenic organ. The occurrence of BC permanently alters the immune landscape of the bladder. Immunizing therapies, either as bladder instillation or as intravenously or or...
KEY FINDING: Durvalumab plus Oportuzumab monatox, Pembrolizumab, and Nadofaragene firadenovec (NF) show complete response (CR) rates of 41.6%, 40.6%, and 59.6% after 3 months.
Bioactive Materials, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This study introduces an anti-CD29 antibody-conjugated small intestine submucosa (AC-SIS) scaffold designed to capture urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in situ for bladder repair and regeneration. In v...
KEY FINDING: The AC-SIS scaffold exhibited effective capture capacity of urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in vitro.
Cancers, 2022 • July 23, 2022
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the scrotum in comparison with standard ultrasound (US) and histopa...
KEY FINDING: MRI shows good sensitivity and specificity for the estimation of testicular tumors in this collective.
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This research explores the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) sheets to treat neurogenic bladder (NB) associated with spinal cord injury (SCI). The study uses a rat model of SCI...
KEY FINDING: ADSC sheet transplantation increased the number of nerve fibers and decreased glial scar formation at the injury site in the spinal cord.
