Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition in elderly men with coexisting benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), and it significantly impairs their quality of life (QoL).
Aim: This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of adding beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist (mirabegron 50 mg) to tamsulosin 0.4 mg for symptomatic men with BPE and OAB symptoms (OABS).
Background: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, allograft recipients are at a higher risk of infection due to immunosuppressive therapies. This study aimed to analyze the utility of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) lung in the etiological diagnosis of pulmonary infections in renal allograft recipients with respiratory failure.

Aim: This study aims to determine the risk factors, changing trends in etiology, current treatment options, and outcomes in cUTI.
Materials And Methods: This prospective observational study was done on patients presenting with cUTI.
Pregnancy-related acute kidney injury (PRAKI) and urological complications can significantly increase the maternal morbidity and mortality, and morbidly adherent placenta (MAP) has been found to increase the risk of both. This is a four-year prospective study, conducted on patients with MAP. Baseline parameters (demographic/antenatal/perinatal), operative details (obstetric/urological/hemostatic), peri-operative complications (AKI/urological), and maternal/fetal outcomes were studied till six weeks after delivery.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of intra-operative central venous pressure (CVP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) on early graft function and biochemical outcome.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective study carried out on patients undergoing renal transplant only from live-related donors between March 2011 and May 2013.
Neurological manifestations are quite common in hypernatraemia but subdural haematoma due to hypernatraemia is very rare in adult population. We report a case of 50 year old female patient who presented with acute acalculus cholecystitis who subsequently developed persistent hypernatraemia with multiple subdural haematomas and patient died. Patient died because of persistently raised intracranial tension, before she could be taken up for surgical evacuation of subdural haematoma.
