Purpose: We examine the outcome of tape lysis in subjects with obstructive urinary retention after initial tension-free vaginal tape placement.
Materials And Methods: Charts from 109 consecutive subjects who underwent tension-free vaginal tape placement from 1998 to 2001 were retrospectively reviewed. Of the subjects 78 (72%) consented to participation and completion of a questionnaire. All subjects underwent a routine preoperative evaluation before surgery and followup was implemented through 2002. Tape lysis using a standard technique was performed in 5 patients with documented obstructive urinary retention. Subjective assessment by the validated Bristol Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms questionnaire and a postoperative survey characterized perceptions of incontinence, results of initial tension-free vaginal tape placement and outcome of subsequent tape lysis.
Results: The objective incontinence cure rate was 89%. Of the 78 patients 17 (22%) and 21 (27%) experienced transience in either dysuria or incomplete bladder emptying, respectively. Transection for obstructive urinary retention was successfully accomplished in 5 subjects with 4 (80%) remaining continent.
Conclusions: Tape lysis is simple and effective for relieving obstruction, and is not associated with a high rate of recurrent stress urinary incontinence.

Article Synopsis
- Natural stone in cultural heritage is prone to erosion from various sources, prompting the need for effective protective materials.
- A new multifunctional coating made from a silane-based precursor and zinc oxide nanoparticles is developed to protect limestone, boasting properties like water-repellency, self-cleaning, and biocidal activity.
- The coating exhibits impressive performance with a high water drop contact angle (≈153°), effective photocatalytic cleaning under UV-A light, and strong inhibition against bacteria, along with good chemical stability.

DNA retrieval methods traditionally used during forensic evidence recovery including swabbing and tape lifting, can have limited effectiveness when used on porous, rough substrates such as bricks and carpet. This is possibly due to the DNA material being dispersed and unreachable for surface sampling techniques. In this evaluation we investigated the effectiveness of the Microbial Wet-Vacuum System (M-Vac®; M-Vac® Systems, Inc.

Lactococcus phages that belong to the genus Ceduovirus are among the three most frequently isolated phage groups infecting Lactococcus lactis starter strains in dairy plants. In this study, we characterized virulent Lactococcus phage BIM BV-114 isolated from industrial cheese brine in Belarus and identified as Ceduovirus. The bacteriophage demonstrated a relatively short lytic cycle (latent period of 23 ± 5 min, lysis time of 90 ± 5 min), high thermal stability (inactivation after 7 min at 95 °C in skimmed milk) and tolerance to UV radiation (inactivation time - 15 min), indicating adaptation for better persistence in dairy facilities.

Background: The number of incidences of antimicrobial resistance is rising continually, necessitating new and effective antibacterial drugs. The present study aimed to assess the in vitro and in vivo activity of XF-73 against antibiotic-resistant () isolates and to investigate the potential mechanism of action of XF-73.
Methods: The in vitro antibacterial activity of XF-73 and comparator antibacterial drugs, (mupirocin, fusidine, retapamulin, vancomycin, erythromycin, linezolid and daptomycin), against (both antibiotic sensitive and resistant strains) was assessed using a broth microdilution method.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of using Mayo Scissors versus Babcock clamps in midurethral sling surgery on bladder outcomes 12 months later.
- The MUST trial included 318 women and evaluated primary outcomes like persistent stress urinary incontinence and urinary retention, finding Babcock's method had better results in reducing abnormal bladder outcomes.
- Despite Babcock showing fewer issues, both techniques had similar overall patient-reported outcomes post-surgery, with the Scissor method showing lower rates of mesh erosion.
