Article Abstract
Background: Urinary tract infestation by Capillaria spp. in domestic cats is rather rare, but can cause clinical symptoms and affect behaviour. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe a case of urinary capillariosis in a cat in Poland.
Case Presentation: A female formerly stray cat aged about 1.5 years showing dysuria, stranguria, periuria and lethargy was presented at the veterinary clinic. Urinalysis revealed the presence of Capillaria plica eggs in the sediment. The cat was treated successfully with three topical doses of Broadline (Merial, Toulouse, France).
Conclusions: C. plica is a nematode whose definitive hosts are carnivores, which are infected by eating earthworms (the intermediate hosts). Thus, C. plica infestation is more frequent in wild carnivores and dogs, and rare in cats. Symptomatic bladder capillariosis in cats is very rarely diagnosed and described.

: Patients' perspectives on adverse drug reactions (ADRs) may be used to update the safety profile of a drug. We aimed to prospectively follow-up on type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients who were new users of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and to characterize the patient-reported ADRs within routine practice in Romania. : T2D patients from ambulatory settings were interviewed over the phone based on standardized forms, at four time-points across 12 months.

Background: Cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a chronic and endemic illness caused by infection with a parasite called Echinococcus granulosus. In Romania, this disease has an incidence rate of 5.6 per 100,000 individuals, which is the highest in the Dobrogea region.

Objective: To assess efficacy, comfort, and symptoms of a novel ureteral stent (RELIEF) substituting the distal semirigid coil of a traditional double-J for a floating, monofilament tether allowing coaptation of the ureteral orifice. Ureteral instrumentation notoriously cause discomfort, urgency, frequency, dysuria, and hematuria; prolonged morbidity is likely related to stent-associated vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). We hypothesized this design would eliminate VUR, be safe and provide comfort following intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Urinary bladder masses are rare in children and can sometimes be mistaken for malignancies due to benign conditions like urachal cysts, which may appear in atypical locations.
- A case involving a 2-year-old boy with symptoms led to imaging that displayed a cystic structure in the bladder, initially assumed to be cancerous.
- The final diagnosis revealed a urachal cyst instead of a malignancy, highlighting the need to consider such anomalies in pediatric bladder mass assessments, particularly when they appear in specific bladder regions.

Background: Complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI) is defined as an infection associated with structural, functional, or metabolic abnormalities of the genitourinary tract. These infections are caused frequently by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. The rapid emergence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, and carbapenemase (CR) producers has made the treatment of such infections increasingly more challenging.
