All cases of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) are not the same; urethral pressures, prolapse conditions, and congenital and acquired sphincteric dysfunction all contribute to SUI pathophysiology. In order to optimally manage SUI, a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology behind the condition is necessary. Unsuccessful treatment of incontinence can result from the procedure itself or from a poor fit between the patient's condition and the treatment chosen. Proper patient evaluation, including videourodynamics and measurement of Valsalva leak point pressure, is key to making the best treatment decisions and obtaining optimal patient outcomes.

Validity and reliability of the brief form of the normative male alexithymia scale among Chinese patients after radical prostatectomy.
Sci Rep

Department of urinary surgery, Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou University People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, 450003, Henan, China.
Alexithymia, a cognitive and emotional deficit characterized by difficulty in expressing emotions and identifying feelings, poses significant challenges in healthcare settings. Developing a reliable and valid tool to measure alexithymia in post-prostatectomy patients would not only aid healthcare professionals in identifying at-risk individuals but also facilitate early intervention and targeted support. This study aimed to translate the Brief Form of the Normative Male Alexithymia Scale (NMAS-BF) into Simplified Chinese, evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version, and explore its influencing factors.

Introduction: Primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO) is a rare but significant cause of BOO and LUTS in females, with unclear etiology involving theories of fibrotic narrowing, tissue hyperplasia, or muscle abnormalities. Due to nonspecific symptoms, PBNO diagnosis remains challenging, and optimal surgical treatment needs to be better defined.
Case Presentation: We report two cases of females in their 50s with recurrent urinary retention managed by indwelling catheters.

The role of the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression remains unclear. In this study, we generated mice with renal tubule-specific deletion of angiotensinogen (Agt; RT-Agt-/-) in both Akita and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced mouse model of diabetes. Both Akita RT-Agt-/- and STZ-RT-Agt-/- mice exhibited significant attenuation of glomerular hyperfiltration, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, glomerulomegaly and tubular injury.

Background: Tubular injury triggered by hyperglycemia is an important pathological characteristic in diabetic nephropathy (DN). Accumulated advanced glycation end products and their precursor methylglyoxal (MGO), contribute to the development of DN. Carnosine has been shown to prevent the development of DN but the underlying mechanism still needs to be studied in depth.

Background: Endoplasmic reticulum stress with protein misfolding has been introduced as a key pathogenetic mechanism in lupus nephritis (LN). Pregnancy is thought to exaggerate proteostasis, which leads to the accumulation of potentially pathogenic misfolded proteins in the urine, serum, and placenta particularly in women with preeclampsia. The detection of misfolded proteins is made using Congo red stain, which is referred to as congophilia.
