  1. The Role of Urinary Microbiota

    key:global.content-type: Publication highlight

    The traditional view of urine sterility has been challenged by the discovery of the urinary microbiome, meaning a mix of bacteria and microorganisms within the urinary tract. This unique relationship between microbes and humans is still not fully understood but has gained a lot of attention in clinical research in the last decade.

  2. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

    key:global.content-type: Article

    Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a leading diagnosis among males. Approximately 100,000 men are treated with transurethral prostate (TURP) surgery each year, making it one of the most common surgical procedures in the United States and several other countries.

  3. Risk Factors for Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection in Children

    key:global.content-type: Article

    Recurrent UTIs in children with neurogenic bladders constitute high risk of leading to severe kidney damage and need to be an area of attention. This study is useful in determining treatments and proactive measures for preventing recurrent UTIs.

  4. Scientific Review of Reuse vs Single-Use Catheters

    key:global.content-type: Article

    A surprisingly high number of patients reuses catheters intended for single-use every day putting them at risk for unnecessary complications. Single-use hydrophilic catheters for intermittent catheterization lower the risk for short- and long-term complications and are a convenient and preferred choice for many patients.

  5. Scientific Review of No-Touch Catheter / Technique

    key:global.content-type: Article

    Introduction of a no-touch catheter/technique for intermittent catheterization seems to be well accepted both by caregivers and patients and it is not necessarily associated with higher costs. On the contrary, it could potentially reduce costs, saving time and errors in the healthcare system and reduce infection complications in general. The clinical evidence level is low for using no-touch technique/catheter to reduce UTIs but current available studies suggest benefits of it.

  6. Scientific Review of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI)

    key:global.content-type: Article

    Catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are common in the hospital setting with consequential morbidity and mortality. The risk of bacterial adhesion and invasion of the urinary tract increases with use of an indwelling catheterization and may be reduced by adopting intermittent catheterization using hydrophilic single-use catheters.
