Article Synopsis
- The risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) is highly hereditary, with lifetime susceptibility observed from childhood into adulthood, but there's a lack of comprehensive syntheses of genetic studies.
- This study systematically reviewed genetic polymorphisms linked to UTIs in both children and adults, assessing the strength and reliability of those associations.
- The analysis included 22 studies, finding notable associations with specific genetic variations (CXCR1, IL8, TGF, TLR4, and VDR) particularly in pediatric UTIs, and confirming CXCR1's link with adult UTIs as well.
Introduction And Hypothesis: To demonstrate a novel technique for complete laparoscopic removal of a transobturator sling for mesh erosion involving a large area of the urethra and bladder neck, without the need for concomitant vaginal dissection.
Method: A 56-year-old woman had a transobturator sling inserted for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in 2009. In 2017, 8 years following surgery, she experienced groin pain, exacerbated by exercise, and developed recurrent urinary tract infections with dysuria and urethral pain.
Aim Of Video: The aim was to demonstrate laparoscopic complete excision of sacrocolpopexy mesh from a 65-year-old woman who had presented with delayed onset of persistent right-sided gluteal pain.
Method: The patient was referred to our unit, having undergone a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for vault prolapse 7 years earlier, with a type 1 polypropylene mesh. Four years after the primary surgery, she first noticed symptoms of spontaneous vaginal pain together with deep dyspareunia, and right-sided gluteal pain.
Objective: To evaluate the value of fetal scalp blood sampling (FBS) as an adjunct test to cardiotocography, to predict adverse neonatal outcomes.
Study Design: A multicentre service evaluation observational study in forty-four maternity units in the UK. We collected data retrospectively on pregnant women with singleton pregnancy who received FBS in labour using a standardised data collection tool.
