Dipstick analysis is a screening test for urinary tract infection (UTI) in office practice. Standard urine microscopy is available offsite. We evaluated the usefulness of these tests on consecutive urine samples obtained by bladder catheterization in young children with a possible UTI. Thirty of 230 children had positive cultures. Dipstick analysis was specific (98%) but not sensitive (70%). Standard microscopy was not specific. Dipstick analysis and urine culture are useful tests for the diagnosis of UTI.

Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 101 Daehak-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and proteinuria each independently raise the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate the relationship between proteinuria and the risk of incident AF across glycemic stages.
Methods: A cohort of 4,044,524 individuals without prior AF and type 1 DM was selected from the 2009 Korean National Health Insurance Service health checkup data.

Background: Isolated microhematuria (IMH) can signal hidden glomerular disease, necessitating detailed evaluations for potential kidney donors, including kidney biopsies. The optimal strategy for deciding on kidney biopsies remains unclear. While the British Transplant Society supports dipstick analysis, KDIGO focuses solely on urine microscopy.

Southern Counties Veterinary Specialists, Ringwood, UK.
Objectives: To assess the incidence and clinical findings associated with the presence of ammonium urate urolithiasis in dogs with congenital portosystemic shunts.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of dogs diagnosed with extrahepatic portosystemic shunts or intrahepatic portosystemic shunts in 15 referral hospitals between 2010 and 2023. Data including signalment, clinical signs, physical examination findings and clinicopathologic test results at the time of the diagnosis were collected, and the presence of ammonium urate urolithiasis was recorded.
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay coupled with lateral flow dipstick for the rapid detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius from dogs.

Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a global animal pathogen. Traditional identification methods are time-consuming necessitating a more efficient approach. This study validated and enhanced the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technique by integration it with a lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay for the detection of S.
