Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is common in children and can significantly impact the quality of life in affected children and their families. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the causes, diagnostics, and treatment, with a particular focus on nonorganic urinary incontinence and nocturnal enuresis. Accurate diagnostics are essential to differentiate between organic and functional causes, as well as to distinguish primary from secondary forms of urinary incontinence.

- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of Angocin versus standard antibiotics for treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) in terms of preventing early and recurrent infections, complications, and the need for additional prescriptions.
- Using data from over 14,000 patients diagnosed with UTI between 2005 and 2021, researchers found that patients prescribed Angocin had significantly lower odds of experiencing early relapses and recurrent infections compared to those on antibiotics.
- The results suggest that Angocin might be a preferable treatment option, as it was also linked to fewer subsequent antibiotic prescriptions, although the study found a weak, non-significant trend towards a reduction in serious kidney complications (pyelonephritis) associated with its use.
Background: The patterns and intensity of inpatient antibiotic prescribing vary according to medical specialty.
Objectives: Analysis of recent data on antibiotic use density in hospital departments of urology in Germany.
Methods: Annual surveillance data of 107 departments for the period 2022/2023 were evaluated.
Introduction: To assess gender-specific differences in recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) among patients with intermediate or high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) receiving BCG was the primary aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: In July 2023, we performed a literature search using MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. This study was prospectively registered at PROSPERO (CRD 2023443269).
