OBJECTIVE: We report the outcomes of an early loose closure of the scrotum with a modified U-stitch to minimize use of split thickens skin graft for patients with hemiscrotal tissue loss after surgical debridement.
Introduction: HPV infection is a highly prevalent sexually transmitted disease and there is evidence of the relationship of HPV infection and the development of genital warts, penile intraepitelial neoplasia, invasive penile carcinoma and cervical cancer.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is common condition in infants with febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs).
OBJECTIVES: To validate the predictive value of Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index in patients with Fournier gangrene and to facilitate patient mortality risk-stratification by simplifying the Fournier's Gangrene Severity Index.
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common serious bacterial infection in febrile infants.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the management strategy for a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella urinary tract infection (UTI).
BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common bacterial infection and accounts for millions of office visits and hospital admissions each year.
Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), a common congenital urinary tract anomaly, refers to retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the upper urinary tract.
Nearly 15% to 25% of patients in general hospitals have a catheter at some time during their stay.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the use of antibiotics for urinary tract infection (UTI) before and after surgery for urinary incontinence (UI); and for those with use of antibiotics before surgery, to estimate the risk of treatment for a postoperative UTI, relative to those without use of antibiotics before surgery.
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: This study's aims were to detect and quantify bacterial DNA in the urine of randomized trial participants about to undergo treatment for urinary urgency incontinence (UUI) without clinical evidence of urinary tract infection (UTI) and to determine if the presence of bacterial DNA in baseline urine relates to either baseline urinary symptoms or UTI risk after urinary tract instrumentation.
BACKGROUND: Childrens hospitalization for intravenous antibiotic treatment has been replaced in developed countries and in some Chilean centers to outpatient intravenous therapy (OPAT).
BACKGROUND: The AmpC β-lactamase (AmpC)-producing Enterobacteriaceae emerged worldwide.
Ageing increases the risk of a woman developing a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Penile skin loss may occur after trauma, infection, or as a result of surgical resection.
BACKGROUND: In some hospitals, urinalysis is done routinely for all patients scheduled for cardiac surgery.
Several guidelines exist on urinary tract infection (UTI) in children.
Guideline recommendations on empirical antibiotic treatment are based on the literature, expert opinion, expected pathogens and resistance data, but their adequacy in the real-life setting is often unknown.
BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very frequent disease, little is known about its seasonality in the community.
OBJECTIVES: To analyze our data with regard to the treatment of Fournier's Gangrene, a necrotizing subcutaneous infection of the male genitalia.
