Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of chronic therapy with fosfomycin trometamol (TF) in the treatment and prevention of recurrent, uncomplicated urinary tract infections (NIDDM) in type 2 diabetic women.
Investigated Group: The study comprised 45 type 2 diabetes women aged 50-70 years. All patients enrolled into the study suffered from the NIDDM presented with clinical signs of uroinfection and positive urine culture with bacterial uropathogen sensitive to TF. Study period lasted 12 months and during the first 9 months patients were treated with TF. The patients remained under regular medical supervision in diabetic outpatient clinic every 3 months. Efficacy of treatment was proved when both clinical cure and uropathogen eradication were achieved in 3, 6, 9 or 12th month from the study beginning.
Results: The difference in efficiency of fosfomycin treatment after 3 months of the study duration in comparison with duration before study beginning was statistically different (p<0.001). The differences in efficiency of fosfomycin treatment after 6 months of study duration in comparison with time before 3 months were statistically different (p=0.03). There was not statistically differences in efficiency of fosfomycin treatment between the 6th and 9th month of study duration (NS).
Conclusion: Fosfomycin is the safe and effective antimicrobial method to cure and prevent NIDDM.

Purpose: Locally advanced colorectal tumors frequently invade adjacent organs, particularly the urinary bladder in the sigmoid colon and upper rectum, complicating multivisceral resections. This study compared postoperative outcomes of partial cystectomy (PC) and total cystectomy (TC) in patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Web of Science for studies published up to November 2024.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of intravesical alkalinised lidocaine as an anaesthetic treatment on procedural pain during intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injections for overactive bladder.
Patients And Methods: This single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled two period crossover trial was conducted on women scheduled for BTX-A injections at our outpatient urogynaecology clinic between September 2022 and May 2024. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either alkalinised lidocaine or placebo during the first treatment period.

BACKGROUND Crohn disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease known for causing fistulous tracts, abscesses, and bowel perforation. Enterohepatic fistulas, a rare but significant complication, are scarcely reported. This article presents the case of a hepatic abscess due to an enterohepatic fistula in a patient with long-term Crohn disease and reviews the existing literature on this phenomenon.

Conventional endoscopy is limited in its ability to examine the small bowel and perform long-term monitoring due to the risk of infection and tissue perforation. Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is a painless and non-invasive method of examining the body's internal organs using a small camera that is swallowed like a pill. The existing active locomotion technologies do not have a practical localization system to control the capsule's movement within the body.

To assess the associations between serum and dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as well as the inflammatory potential of diet measured by the Children's Dietary Inflammatory Index (C-DII), and recurrent respiratory infections (RRIs) in children. We enrolled 44 children aged 3-16 years with RRIs and 44 healthy controls. Dietary intake was assessed using a 7-day food record from which PUFA intake and C-DII were calculated.
