Article Abstract

Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, common in patients with chronic spinal cord injury, inevitably results in urological complications. To address neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction after spinal cord injury, proper and adequate bladder management is important in spinal cord injury rehabilitation, with the goal and priorities of the protection of upper urinary tract function, maintaining continence, preserving lower urinary tract function, improvement of SCI patients' quality of life, achieving compatibility with patients' lifestyles, and decreasing urological complications. This concise review aims to help urologists address neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction by focusing on the risks of long-term urological complications and the effects of different bladder management strategies on these complications based on scientifically supported knowledge.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Depressive and anxiety symptoms are known risk factors for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). To inform prevention and treatment strategies, this research examined whether greater emotional support seeking weakened associations of affective symptoms with LUTS and poorer bladder health.

Methods: Data were collected from women in the USA who participated in the RISE FOR HEALTH study of bladder health.

Purpose: Antibiotic-sparing treatment (ASPT) strategies, such as delayed prescribing and symptomatic treatment, are promising to reduce antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections (uUTI). The aim of this scoping review was to identify literature reporting on factors that may act as barriers and facilitators to the use of ASPT in order to improve implementation.

Methods: MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase, the Cochrane Database, Google Scholar, Proquest Dissertations and Theses, the Clinical Trials Gov Registry and the ICTRP WHO Registry were searched for evidence of health care professionals and/or patients exposed to ASPT in the context of uUTI.

Medical Laboratory Department, College of Health and Medical Technology, Sulaimani Polytechnic University, Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.

Unlabelled: The environmental pollution from the misuse of antimicrobial drugs is fueling selection pressure in bacteria, thereby exacerbating the threat to global health. In Iraq, the situation is made worse by the poor implementation of the World Health Organization's Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (WHO-GLASS). Consequently, this study aimed to increase surveillance of the spread of antimicrobial resistance in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.

Consumption of mango has been associated with a number of beneficial effects on health which have been attributed to phenolic catabolites originating from (poly)phenols following ingestion. To investigate the origins of potentially bioactive phenolic catabolites, ileostomists and subjects with a full gastrointestinal tract on a low(poly)phenol diet ingested a mango pulp purée containing 426 μmol of (poly)phenols consisting mainly of gallotannins and cinnamic acids, along with 231 μmol of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. Over a 24 h period post-mango intake plasma and urine were collected and analysed by UHPLC-HRMS.
