Urology Research

KEY FINDING: A 40-year-old male with a spinal cord injury developed urogenital myiasis due to long-term catheter use, presenting with maggots at the urethral meatus.

KEY FINDING: 61.9% of patients stated they would have consented to early therapy prior to the emergence of their neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

KEY FINDING: Systolic blood pressure increased significantly by an average of 9.8 mmHg across all patients during the procedure.

KEY FINDING: The review identified ten objective and fourteen subjective QoL measures used in SCI research related to neurogenic bladder.

KEY FINDING: MSCs augment healing through cell replacement, stimulation of cell proliferation, and angiogenesis, although data on bladder dysfunction repair is scarce compared to other tissues.

KEY FINDING: Two prediction models were developed: a full model using LEMS, light-touch sensation in the S3 dermatome, and SCIM subscale respiration and sphincter management; and a simplified model based on LEMS only.

KEY FINDING: Early intervention in sexual rehabilitation maximizes function and minimizes secondary complications.

KEY FINDING: GPECs from adult murine kidneys can undergo EMT in vitro, leading to the generation of cells expressing CD24, CD44, and CD29 surface antigens.

KEY FINDING: Nine of 23 patients met all four criteria for the primary endpoint (successful placement, low post-void residual volume, no device-related adverse events requiring early removal, and successful removal).

KEY FINDING: The guideline provides evidence-based recommendations for different bladder management methods, such as intermittent catheterization, indwelling catheterization, and reflex voiding, considering factors like hand function, cognitive ability, and individual preferences.
