The Association between Obesity and Wet Overactive Bladder: Results from 2005 to 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Introduction: The association between obesity and wet overactive bladder (wet OAB) was few and was also inconsistent and controversial in sex differences. This study aimed to ascertain the specific association between obesity and wet OAB for females and males using five obesity measures.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 29,041 participants from the 2005-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database.

Association between perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate exposure and kidney stones prevalence in US adults: an analysis based on the national health and nutrition examination survey 2007-2018.

This study investigates the association between exposure to environmental pollutants-perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate (PNT)-and the prevalence of kidney stone disease (KSD) in US adults, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018. With the increasing incidence of KSD, understanding environmental risk factors has become crucial. While PNT compounds are known to be associated with various health issues, their role in KSD remains unclear.

Unveiling the Etiology of Urological Tumors: A Systematic Review of Mendelian Randomization Applications in Renal Cell Carcinoma, Bladder Cancer, and Prostate Cancer.

Background: Our study aims to address two pivotal questions: "What are the recent advancements in understanding the etiology of urological tumors through Mendelian Randomization?" and "How can Mendelian Randomization be more effectively applied in clinical settings to enhance patient health outcomes in the future?"

Methods: In our systematic review conducted in April 2023, we utilized databases like PubMed and Web of Science to explore the influence of Mendelian Randomization in urological oncological diseases. We focused on studies published from January 2018, employing keywords related to urological tumors and Mendelian Randomization, supplemented with MeSH terms and manual reference checks. Our inclusion criteria targeted original research studies, while we excluded reports and non-relevant articles.
