Lower urinary tract symptoms are common in pediatric urology, but an atypical presentation may portend significant pathophysiology. We present 5 cases of young males with a sudden change in urinary symptoms, which resulted in the discovery of a variety of benign bladder tumours. We present the clinical, radiologic and histologic findings of these cases emphasizing on mimickers in clinics. Although rare tumours, these may be increasing in frequency and pediatric care may further be enhanced by the development of multinational registry.

Background: Understanding the mutational landscape is critical for elucidating the molecular mechanisms driving cancer progression. This study aimed to profile somatic mutations in bladder cancer patients (N=7) from Bangladesh to provide insights into the genetic alterations underlying this malignancy.
Methods: We performed targeted sequencing of 50 oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes using the Ion AmpliSeq Cancer Hotspot Panel v2 on tumor and matched blood samples from seven bladder cancer patients.

Staphylococcus saprophyticus primarily colonizes the lower gastrointestinal tract; however, infections from this site are rarely reported. A 77-year-old man developed an ischemic stroke and fever. Blood cultures showed S.

Mycoplasma genitalium can cause urinary tract infections and nonchlamydial, nongonococcal urethritis. Recent studies have suggested that M. genitalium is associated with sexually transmitted diseases, particularly among men who have sex with men.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large class of synthetic chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer applications, known for their environmental persistence, bioaccumulation, and potential toxicity. Mounting toxicological evidence suggests that the kidney is a primary target organ for PFAS accumulation, yet human data regarding compound-specific renal effects remain limited. In this community-based prospective cohort study, we investigated the associations between serum PFAS concentrations and renal outcomes in 257 adults, including 48 with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and 209 with normal kidney function at baseline.

Background & Aims: Parenteral nutrition (PN) dependency in patients with intestinal failure (IF) can lead to complications including liver disease. Therefore, IF management strives to wean patients off PN. In adult IF, chronic cholestasis is predicted by the functional gut parameters citrulline (CIT) and enteroendocrine fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19), which inhibits hepatic bile salt synthesis.
