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.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and intramuscular diclofenac sodium for pain relief and their impact on achieving stone-free status in patients undergoing shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) for kidney stones.
  • A total of 61 patients were analyzed, with 31 receiving ESPB and 30 receiving diclofenac; results showed that the ESPB group had significantly lower pain scores (VAS) and required less fluoroscopy time and targeting.
  • While both groups had similar outcomes in terms of stone characteristics and free status, the ESPB group demonstrated a trend towards higher stone-free rates and reduced radiation exposure during the procedure.
