Internal and External Barriers to Bladder Management in Persons with Neurologic Disease Performing Intermittent Catheterization.

People living with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) often have to use clean intermittent catheters (CIC) to manage their bladder function. The use of catheters presents multiple unique challenges, based on both the person's inherent characteristics and on the external limitations imposed by public toilets. We review the impact of age, sex, upper limb function, caregiver assistance, time required to perform CIC, and urinary incontinence on CIC in NLUTD, with special reference to their interaction with societal and public health factors.

Exploring Urological Malignancies on Pinterest: Content Analysis.

Background: Pinterest is a visually oriented social media platform with over 250 million monthly users. Previous studies have found misinformative content on genitourinary malignancies to be broadly disseminated on YouTube; however, no study has assessed the quality of this content on Pinterest.

Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the quality, understandability, and actionability of genitourinary malignancy content on Pinterest.

Solutions: Bridging the Diversity Gap in Urology Trainees.

Objective: To address healthcare inequities, diversifying the physician workforce is an important step, and improved efforts to recruit Underrepresented in Medicine (URiM) students is vital. We aim to examine the current state of minority recruitment and provide solutions to increase diversity in urology residency training.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of self-reported race and ethnicity data for active urology trainees using the Data Resource Book by the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education from 2011 to 2020.

Characteristics of pelvic organ prolapse content available on social media.

Aims: To analyze the quality, understandability, and actionability of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) content and to characterize creators of content and treatment options discussed on social media platforms YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest.

Methods: A cross-sectional, qualitative study was conducted for each platform. A search for "pelvic organ prolapse" was conducted and the first 100 relevant results analyzed.

An Evaluation of the Readability and Content-Quality of Pelvic Organ Prolapse YouTube Transcripts.

Objective: To evaluate the readability, quality, and accuracy of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) YouTube transcripts.

Methods: We analyzed the readability of written transcripts for the first 100 YouTube videos about "Pelvic Organ Prolapse." Transcripts were excluded if they lacked narration in English or contained both no text and no audio.

Litigation Patterns in Oncologic Nephrectomies: A 30-Year Review.

The litigious environment encompassing the medical-legal domain is an increasing concern for surgical fields, with urology being no exception. The objective of our study was to systematically review, evaluate, and summarize the factors associated with oncologic nephrectomy litigation to determine possible factors contributing to verdicts or settlements. Publicly available verdict reports were retrieved using the Westlaw legal database (Reuters).

Analysis of Pelvic Organ Prolapse-related Content on Pinterest.

Objectives: Our study is a cross-sectional, qualitative study analyzing pelvic organ prolapse-related content on Pinterest, a social media platform that also functions as a visual search engine. Primary outcomes assessed include quality, understandability, and actionability of content. Secondary outcomes include levels of misinformation and commercial bias.

A systematic review of best practices for the perioperative management of abdominal sacrocolpopexy.

Purpose: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown to reduce surgical morbidity and length of stay across various procedures. Our objective was to systematically evaluate the literature for best practices of ERAS elements in abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC), to determine if there is sufficient evidence to create best practice guidelines for this procedure.

Materials And Methods: Following the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement, we performed a review using Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library.
