[Antibacterial prophylaxis with fosfomycin at the time of the urethral catheter removal after radical prostatectomy (prospective randomized trial)].

Aim: To evaluate the effect of antibacterial prophylaxis using oral fosfomycin during the removal of a urethral catheter after radical prostatectomy on the development of urinary tract infection, severity of leukocyturia and bacteriuria, as well as the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms.

Materials And Methods: A single-center, non-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial was carried out. The main group included 40 patients, and the control group included 37 patients.

Magnetic Fluids: The Interaction between the Microstructure, Macroscopic Properties, and Dynamics under Different Combinations of External Influences.

Magnetic fluids were historically the first active nano-dispersion material. Despite over half a century of research, interest in these nano-objects continues to grow every year. This is due to the impressive development of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanoscale structures, and surface-active systems.

Cerebral folate deficiency: a treatable cause of late deterioration in epilepsy with developmental delay.

A 25-year-old woman with childhood-onset refractory epilepsy and developmental delay experienced a gradually progressive marked deterioration in mobility and seizure control, with language regression. Investigation identified a homozygous deletion within the contactin-associated protein-like 2 gene (), underlying her early presentation, but also cerebral folate deficiency that most likely contributed to her later deterioration. Following antiseizure medication adjustment and treatment with folinic acid, she stabilised with improved seizure control and limited improvement in language and motor function; she has remained neurologically stable for more than a decade.

Spawning acts as a metabolic stressor enhanced by hypoxia and independent of sex in a broadcast marine spawner.

Broadcast spawners, like the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, experience substantial energy expenditure during spawning due to extensive gamete release that can divert energy from other functions. This energetic cost might be intensified by environmental stressors, including hypoxia that suppress aerobic metabolism. However, the energy implications of spawning in marine broadcast spawners have not been well studied.
