Article Abstract
Mucolipidoses (MLs) II and III are rare lysosomal diseases caused by deficiency of GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase, and clinical manifestations are multisystemic. Clinical and demographic data from 1983 to 2013 were obtained retrospectively. Twenty-seven patients were included (ML II = 15, ML III α/beta = 9, ML III gamma = 3). The median age at diagnosis was 2.7 years. The predominant clinical presentations were skeletal symptoms. The ML II patients showed physical and cognitive impairment, while the ML III α/beta patients have more somatic abnormalities and usually were delayed in early development as compared with ML III gamma patients. This is the most comprehensive study exploring characteristics of Brazilian patients with MLs II and III.

[Impact of bladder-neck angle on urination: An application study based on fluid-structure interaction].

Department of Urology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, Hebei 050000, China.
Unlabelled: Objective： To assess the deformation of the bladder-neck opening and the impact of the bladder-neck angle (BNA) on urination in male patients by fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis.
Methods: We established geometric models of the bladder, prostate and urethra were established, incorporating both normal and enlarged BNAs, and assessed the effects of BNA alteration on urinary flow by FSI simulation of the flow rate and pressure of the urine within the bladder, bladder neck and urethra, and that of prostate displacement as well. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 145 male patients from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between June 2020 and June 2023, 39 with acute urine retention (the AUR group) and 106 without (the non-AUR group), and evaluate the impact of BNA on urination based on the urinary flow rate and prostate volume.
Optilume® for Urethral Strictures: A Comprehensive Review.

Urology, Unidade Local de Saúde de Amadora/Sintra (ULS Amadora/Sintra), Lisbon, PRT.
Urethral stricture disease treatment presents significant challenges due to high recurrence rates and limited minimally invasive options. This review evaluates the efficacy, safety, and clinical applicability of the Optilume® drug-coated balloon, which combines mechanical urethral dilation with paclitaxel delivery, as an innovative alternative to traditional treatments. A narrative review was conducted using PubMed, focusing on studies published in the last decade addressing the use of Optilume® for urethral strictures.

Division of Neonatology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University, 399 Wan Yuan Road, Shanghai, 201102, China.
Brainstem neural conduction was investigated in 78 very low birthweight (VLBW) at 36 weeks of postconceptional age while diagnosing neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The maximum length sequence technique was used to study brainstem auditory evoked response (MLS BAER). Compared with healthy controls, VLBW babies diagnosed with BPD manifested significant prolongation of wave V latency and I-V, I-III and III-V intervals at all 91-910/s clicks.

The goal of this study is to report the updated 3-year safety and efficacy outcomes of the intervention arm of the ROBUST III randomized controlled trial, comparing the Optilume® drug-coated balloon (DCB) with standard endoscopic management of recurrent male anterior urethral stricture. Eligible patients included adult men with recurrent anterior urethral stricture ≤3 cm in length and ≤12 Fr in diameter, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥11, and peak flow rate (Qmax) <15 mL/s. Patients were randomized to treatment with the Optilume DCB or standard-of-care endoscopic management.
