Efficacy and Safety of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) in Patients With Infected Ureterohydronephrosis Due to Ureteral Stones Following Double-J Catheter Insertion.
Cureus
January 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the impact of double-J ureteral catheters on the effectiveness and safety of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in patients with ureteral stones previously treated for infected hydronephrosis.
- Both study and control groups consisted of 40 patients each, matched for stone size, location, and body mass index, showing no significant difference in stone-free rates or complications after multiple ESWL sessions.
- Results suggest that double-J catheters do not significantly affect the efficacy or safety of ESWL in these patients, indicating they can be used without compromising treatment outcomes.

While certain risk factors for urinary tract infections (UTIs) in pregnant women are well established, those associated with an elevated risk of urosepsis in pregnant women with upper UTIs remain less defined. This study aims to identify factors linked to an increased risk of urosepsis and examine urologic treatment outcomes in such cases.

May 2023
Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to compare the profile of COVID-19 (CoV)-infected patients with non-COVID-19 (non-CoV) patients who presented with a multidrug-resistant urinary tract infection (MDR UTI) associated with gut microbiota, as well as analyze the risk factors for their occurrence, the types of bacteria involved, and their spectrum of sensitivity.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study on patients admitted to the urology clinic of the "Parhon" Teaching Hospital in Iasi, Romania, between March 2020 and August 2022. The study group consisted of 22 CoV patients with MDR urinary infections associated with gut microbiota.
