Neural Regen Res, 2012 • August 1, 2012
This study identifies global trends in research on spinal cord injury-induced neurogenic bladder through a bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science. There were 646 research articles addressing s...
KEY FINDING: The United States has consistently been a leading country in research on spinal cord injury-induced neurogenic bladder.
European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2022 • December 16, 2021
The study analyzes 106 blunt renal trauma cases, with a focus on sports-related injuries, at a Level 1 Trauma Center in Austria. It finds that sports-related renal trauma is more likely to be isolated...
KEY FINDING: Sports-associated blunt renal trauma is more likely to occur isolated and has a lower risk of severe outcomes compared to other trauma mechanisms.
Cancers, 2022 • January 29, 2022
The urinary bladder is an immunogenic organ. The occurrence of BC permanently alters the immune landscape of the bladder. Immunizing therapies, either as bladder instillation or as intravenously or or...
KEY FINDING: Durvalumab plus Oportuzumab monatox, Pembrolizumab, and Nadofaragene firadenovec (NF) show complete response (CR) rates of 41.6%, 40.6%, and 59.6% after 3 months.
Bioactive Materials, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This study introduces an anti-CD29 antibody-conjugated small intestine submucosa (AC-SIS) scaffold designed to capture urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in situ for bladder repair and regeneration. In v...
KEY FINDING: The AC-SIS scaffold exhibited effective capture capacity of urine-derived stem cells (USCs) in vitro.
Cancers, 2022 • July 23, 2022
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively analyze the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations of the scrotum in comparison with standard ultrasound (US) and histopa...
KEY FINDING: MRI shows good sensitivity and specificity for the estimation of testicular tumors in this collective.
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2022 • January 1, 2022
This research explores the potential of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADSC) sheets to treat neurogenic bladder (NB) associated with spinal cord injury (SCI). The study uses a rat model of SCI...
KEY FINDING: ADSC sheet transplantation increased the number of nerve fibers and decreased glial scar formation at the injury site in the spinal cord.
World Journal of Urology, 2023 • May 17, 2023
This study investigates the safety and feasibility of using spider silk for erectile nerve reconstruction during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Six patients underwent RARP with spider si...
KEY FINDING: Spider silk nerve reconstruction (SSNR) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy is feasible and does not cause major complications.
Biomedicines, 2023 • November 10, 2023
This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intrasphincteric BoNT-A injections in patients with non-spinal cord injury-related detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD). The primary outco...
KEY FINDING: There was a statistically significant reduction in maximum detrusor pressure (Pdetmax) after treatment (p = 0.006).
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023 • November 8, 2023
This study employed Mendelian randomization to investigate the causal relationship between sarcopenic obesity (SO) factors and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), focusing on basal metabolic rate (BMR...
KEY FINDING: An increase in BMR is associated with an elevated risk of developing BPH.
BJUI Compass, 2024 • May 1, 2024
This study investigated bladder stone formation and recurrence in patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). The study found that intermittent and suprapubic catheterization, as...
