This study was aimed to identify the most frequently observed pathogens in uncomplicated urinary tract infections from outpatient urinary isolates obtained across seven different geographical regions in Türkiye and to determine whether the antibiotic resistance rates of these pathogens differ significantly between these regions. The study included patients aged 18 to 65 years who were diagnosed with uncomplicated urinary tract infections and had positive urine cultures from March 2021 to August 2022, across 37 different centers in Türkiye. The participating centers were selected based on their use of the disk diffusion method, in line with the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines, to ensure standardization of urine culture data.

- This study explored the connection between the levels of serum TGF-β1 and PDGF-B and the development and progression of adult Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) in patients.
- It involved 50 CCHF patients and 30 healthy controls, where blood samples were taken at the beginning of hospitalization and after six days to analyze the serum levels of TGF-β1 and PDGF-B.
- Results showed that TGF-β1 levels significantly increased while PDGF-B levels decreased over time in severely affected CCHF patients, suggesting these markers are relevant in understanding the disease mechanism.
Objective: To identify the preoperative and intraoperative factors that might cause systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), and to investigate the effect of time elapsed between the date of performing preoperative bladder urine culture (PBUC) and surgery date on postoperative SIRS.
Materials And Methods: Four hundred sixty-seven patients who had RIRS between January 2013 and June 2020 constituted the target population of this study. PBUC were obtained from all patients before undergoing surgery.
Objective: To investigate the effect of SARS CoV-2 on serum total PSA levels in men with BPH diagnosed with COVID-19.
Methods: The PSA (Kit: Immunoassay Program- Cycle 18, Siemens Atellica IM Analyzer) levels in patients who had had a PSA check at least 3 months, but no more than 6 months, prior to diagnosis of acute COVID-19 infection, were examined retrospectively. PSA levels were measured and recorded from these patients on the first day of diagnosis of COVID-19.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the potential impact of testosterone levels on the severity and outcomes of COVID-19 in male patients, suggesting that lower testosterone may be linked to worse outcomes.
- Among 358 male COVID-19 patients, those with severe cases showed significantly lower testosterone levels compared to those with mild-moderate infections, as well as lower levels in those requiring intensive care or who did not survive.
- The findings indicate that testosterone levels could be an important factor in understanding sex-related differences in COVID-19 severity and outcomes, warranting further investigation into hypogonadism's role.
