Article Abstract
Aims: Urinary disorders (UD) secondary to multiple sclerosis (MS) are common and can be responsible for complications. Since 2004, we organized in our region their management through a neuro-urological activity and a care network that established and distributed an algorithm for screening and first line care. The objective was to assess the effects of this organization on the management of UD and its impact for patients.
Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2009, 328 patients were seen in neuro-urological consultation. The data of a group of 168 patients consulting during the deployment of our organization (before January 2007: group 1) were compared to those of 160 patients taken when the organization was well established (from January 2007: group 2). In parallel, the modification of the prescription rate of the first-line examination patients was evaluated.
Results: The two groups were significantly different concerning age, duration of MS, EDSS score (Group 1 vs. Group 2 respectively 51.6 ± 12.6 vs. 48 ± 11.8 years, P = 0.008; 19 ± 9.7 vs. 13.8 ± 10.5 years, P < 0.0001; 5.8 ±2.0 vs. 5.1 ± 2.1, P = 0.008). The occurrence of urinary complications in group 1 was more frequent than in group 2 (66.3% vs. 40%, P < 0.0001). The rate of first-line examinations rose from 1/16 patient seen in January 2006 to 9/12 patients in January 2008.
Conclusion: The multidisciplinary management of UD in MS led to patients being cared for sooner in the evolution of MS, with fewer complications and to an improvement in the rate of prescription of first-line examinations. Neurourol. Urodynam. 36:706-709, 2017. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Purpose: The high frequency of urinary disorders and their complications among school-aged children is common but few studies have investigated their predictors such as poor urinary hygiene habits, inappropriate use of school toilets, and deteriorated school toilets conditions. The question is whether individual factors (behaviors) conditioned by environmental factors (toilet conditions) play a role in functional urinary disorders.
Materials And Methods: We performed an electronic cross-sectional observational study from October 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024, in the department of Vienne (France), among children's parents.

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.

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.

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) is a rare disorder that represents a minute but important part of the differential diagnosis of hypercalcaemia. We describe a man in his 60s who was re-referred to endocrinology because of hypercalcaemia thought to be due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that had not been followed up for 13 years. In his early 50s, the hypercalcaemia was accompanied by normal serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, normal 24-hour urinary calcium excretion and normal bone density and kidney imaging, and no parathyroid adenoma was demonstrated on neck imaging.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is currently a serious global health problem, due to its high risk of progression, prevalence and mortality. It not only affects the kidneys but also causes multi-organ damage. Moreover, there is no effective pharmacological treatment, and the only available alternatives are dialysis or transplantation, both of which impose a significant financial burden on healthcare systems.
