The third nationwide surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility against Neisseria gonorrhoeae from male urethritis in Japan, 2016-2017.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is one of the important pathogens of sexually transmitted infections. N. gonorrhoeae is rapidly becoming antimicrobial resistant, and there are few drugs that are effective in the initial treatment of gonorrhea.

Second nationwide surveillance of bacterial pathogens in patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis conducted by Japanese Surveillance Committee from 2015 to 2016: antimicrobial susceptibility of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.

The Japanese Surveillance Committee conducted a second nationwide surveillance of antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of uropathogens responsible for acute uncomplicated cystitis (AUC) in premenopausal patients aged 16-40 years old at 31 hospitals throughout Japan from March 2015 to February 2016. In this study, the susceptibility of causative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus saprophyticus) for various antimicrobial agents was investigated by isolation and culturing of organisms obtained from urine samples. In total, 324 strains were isolated from 361 patients, including E.

Nationwide surveillance of the antimicrobial susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae from male urethritis in Japan.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is one of the most important pathogens causing sexually transmitted infection, and strains that are resistant to several antimicrobials are increasing. To investigate the trends of antimicrobial susceptibility among N. gonorrhoeae strains isolated from male patients with urethritis, a Japanese surveillance committee conducted the first nationwide surveillance.

[A case of synchronous contralateral renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma].

A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with gross hematuria. Abdominal computed tomography showed an 80mm right renal tumor, 31mm left renal tumor, and 30 mm splenic tumor. Cystoscopy revealed a papillary tumor around the left orifice.

Clinical efficacy of oral administration of 200 mg gatifloxacin once daily for 3 days for the treatment of patients with uncomplicated cystitis.

To assess the clinical efficacy of oral antibiotic administration for the treatment of lower urinary tract infection (UTI), 102 female patients were given gatifloxacin (200 mg once daily for 3 days). Five to nine days after treatment, drug safety and clinical efficacy were assessed by evaluation of urinalysis and symptoms. Further, the patients were asked to report by mail whether they had persistent or recurrent symptoms at 4-6 weeks after treatment.

[Prevention of transient urinary incontinence in peri-operative period of modified holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP)].

From February 2005 to April 2007, 48 consecutive patients with BPH underwent holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) combined with mechanical morcellation. The first 14 cases (group 1) underwent HoLEP according to Gilling's method. In the next consecutive 17 cases (group 2), in addition to HoLEP performed as in group 1, the urethral external sphincter was stimulated electrically with a needle electrode inserted in a transperineal manner to prevent sphincteric injury.

[Testicular microlithiasis: report of 14 cases].

Testicular microlithiasis (TM) is a comparatively rare condition in which calcified congelations fill the lumina of the seminiferous tubules. Using high-frequency linear transducers (10 MHz), TM is easily demonstrated as tiny punctate echogenic foci, which typically do not give an acoustic shadow, and is classified into classic type (CTM) and limited type (LTM) on the basis of the presence of five or more microliths at least on one image of the testes. Fourteen patients were found to have TM, 6 of which were LTM and 8 were CTM.
