Emergency treatment of obstructive pyelonephritis: A single center series.
Arch Ital Urol Androl
December 2024
Objective: This study aims to compare two different drainage methods, percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) and retrograde ureteral double-J (DJ) stent insertion, in patients with obstructive pyelonephritis (OP).
Methods: The study included 77 patients who presented to the emergency department due to stones. Type of decompression treatment (PCN or DJ stent), fever, white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, urine culture, blood culture, presence of additional diseases, and antibiotic treatment were evaluated for these patients.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the interactions and effectiveness of new photoprotective agents, specifically a series of synthesized naphthoxazine derivatives, for their potential use in sunscreens.
- The compounds were created using a specific multi-component reaction and showed strong sun protection factors (SPF) and antioxidant activities, making them promising ingredients for UV protection.
- Additionally, the research evaluated the safety of one of the compounds, showing it maintained high cell viability, while also examining various pharmacokinetic properties relevant to their effectiveness as sunscreen ingredients.
Background: Mechanisms to explain inflammation in male infertility of unknown cause are still being investigated. The inflammasome is a key regulator of innate immunity in the inflammatory response to infections. Our study aims to investigate the effects of varicocele on infertility, its relationship with antioxidant and inflammasome mechanisms, and how it could be guided in azoospermic or nonazoospermic patients.

Spiro[benzo[h]quinoline-7,3'-indoline]dione derivatives were successfully developed by the reaction of isatins, naphthalene-1-amine and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. The spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline]dione derivatives were prepared by the reaction of isatins, 5-amino-1-methyl-3-pheylpyrazole, and 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds by using ( ±)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid as a catalyst in HO/EtOH (3:1 v/v) solvent mixture.

Methods: Twenty-four patients treated with mPCL and 28 patients treated with TUCL for bladder stones were compared retrospectively. The operative and postoperative outcomes of both groups were analyzed.
