Article Abstract
Introduction And Hypothesis: Urinary incontinence is a common problem with serious effect on the quality of life. Bladder training aims to increase the interval between voids, either by a mandatory or self-adjustable schedule, so that incontinence is avoided. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of inpatient bladder retraining.
Methods: A retrospective case-note analysis was conducted over a period of 24 months. Outcome measures were decrease in incontinence episode frequency (IEF) and nocturia and increase in interval between voids. Subjective improvement was assessed on a four-point scale.
Results: The study revealed statistically significant decrease in IEF and nocturia and increase in the interval between voids. Twenty-three percent was cured of their symptoms, 36% reported improvement, 27% did not find any change, whereas 14% reported that they were worse off their after bladder retraining.
Conclusion: The study confirms the usefulness of inpatient bladder retraining as a treatment option, especially in people refractory to outpatient management.

Established Cancer Predisposition Genes in Single and Multiple Cancer Diagnoses.
JAMA Oncol
August 2025
Department of Medicine and the Duke Cancer Institute, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina.
Importance: Much of the understanding of cancer risk associated with rare pathogenic variants (RPVs) is derived from family-based studies or clinically ascertained samples, which may be limited by ascertainment and selection bias.
Objective: To quantify associations between RPVs in previously implicated cancer predisposition genes and single and multiple cancer diagnoses in a large population-based study.
Design, Setting, And Participants: In this genetic association study, whole-exome sequencing data were used from the UK Biobank, a UK population-based cohort that enrolled participants aged 40 to 69 years between 2006 and 2010.

Introduction & Importance: Bladder exstrophy epispadias complex (BEEC) is a rare congenital midline malformation defect which requires complex, staged reconstruction of the bony pelvis and the genitourinary tract.
Presentation Of Case: A 26-year-old G3SA2 with previously reconstructed bladder exstrophy presented at 16 weeks +5 days gestation with severe bilateral hydronephrosis and inability to self-catheterize her Mitrofanoff diversion. She had bilateral nephrostomy tubes placed for the duration of pregnancy.
The Effect of Chronic Liver Disease on Adverse In-Hospital Outcomes After Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit Urinary Diversion.

Background: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (BCa). Chronic liver disease (CLD) may predispose to worse in-hospital outcomes after RC and ileal conduit, but this association has not been investigated. The current study addressed this knowledge gap.

Urinary tract trauma encompasses injuries to the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra and can result from both external and iatrogenic causes. We aimed to evaluate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and in-hospital outcomes of urinary tract trauma in Germany. We analyzed data from the GeRmAn Nationwide inpatient Data (GRAND) registry, provided by the Research Data Center of the Federal Bureau of Statistics, from 2005 to 2023.

Objective: To test contemporary rates and predictors of prolonged hospital stay after radical cystectomy (RC) and ileal conduit in non-metastatic bladder cancer patients.
Methods: Within the National Inpatient Sample database (NIS, 2008-2019), we identified ileal conduit RC patients and tabulated length of stay (LOS) ≥ 75th percentile vs. others.
