Two recent Phase 3 trials demonstrated the efficacy of gepotidacin compared with nitrofurantoin to treat uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTIs) in females. Pretreatment urine specimens were obtained from all participants. Based on pooled trial data (treatment groups combined), central laboratory culture results identified 1,421 (45%) participants with ≥1 baseline qualifying (≥10 CFU/mL) uropathogen (i.

Purpose: Debonding of zirconia restorations remains a significant clinical challenge due to its glass-free microstructure, which limits micromechanical and chemical adhesion. Zircos-E, a nitric-hydrofluoric acid mixture, has been proposed as a simplified room-temperature alternative to airborne-particle abrasion (APA). This meta-analysis aimed to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) of zirconia surfaces treated with Zircos-E etching versus APA.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading causes of cancer death in men. While prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing is widely used for screening, its diagnostic accuracy is limited, often failing to distinguish between benign and malignant prostate conditions, underscoring the need for novel biomarkers with improved diagnostic performance. This study aimed to identify and validate a panel of urinary RNA biomarkers with improved diagnostic accuracy for PCa.

Objective: To assess the views of men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) on acceptability of using meatal swabs compared with first-catch urine (FCU), and acceptability and accuracy of pooling three-site samples compared with individually analysed samples, for gonorrhoea and chlamydia detection, using a questionnaire.
Methods: Prospective, convenience, sample of MSM/TGW attending UK sexual health clinic. Randomised order of self-taken samples from the pharynx and rectum, plus self-taken penile-meatal swab and FCU, for gonorrhoea and chlamydia detection.
