It was found that addition of mirastimin to the traditional anti-inflammatory treatment results in stimulation of the absorptive capacity of the urethral phagocytes and improves the results of treatment of patients with chronic urethroprostatitis. The immunomodulator mirastimin should be given with consideration of the initial functional state of urethral neutrophilic granulocytes.

Zoon's Vulvitis and Coexisting Lichen Planus: A Rare Vulval Dermatosis.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Dermatology, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin, IRL.
This case report describes Zoon's vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) with coexisting lichen planus (LP) treated with methotrexate. PCV is a rare, chronic, benign idiopathic inflammatory condition of the vulvar mucosa, characterized by a bright-red, chronic lesion of mucosa. Typically, it presents as atrophic, shiny, red plaques that can affect any part of the vulva and can spread symmetrically and bilaterally with the propensity of chronicity and gradual coalescence.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA retrospective description of blood and urine alterations in 386 male cats with urethral obstruction in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil.
Open Vet J
November 2024
Department of Veterinary Clinics, School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, São Paulo State University (Unesp), Botucatu, Brazil.
Background: Urinary retention in obstructed male cats leads to changes in blood and urine compounds, which, combined with the time of obstruction, are linked to the worsening of the animal's clinical status.
Aim: This study aimed to describe the primary laboratory changes in male cats with urethral obstruction (UO).
Methods: Medical records of 386 male cats diagnosed with UO and treated at the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics (FMVZ), UNESP-Botucatu, between 2010 and 2020 were reviewed.
Preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) value as a predictor of recurrence of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Int Urol Nephrol
November 2024
Clinic for Surgery, University Clinical Center Tuzla, Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Purpose: To predict oncological outcomes and select appropriate treatments for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), pre-treatment predictors such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are being used. This study aims to evaluate whether NLR is an independent predictor of disease and disease recurrence in NMIBC patients.
Methods: In this prospective clinical study, from March 2018 to March 2023, preoperative NLR values were monitored in 99 patients newly diagnosed with NMIBC, who were initially treated with trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and adjuvant intravesical therapy.
Role of Urinary Biomarkers (Transforming Growth Factor β1, Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin, and Cystatin C) as a Prognostic Factor of Renal Outcome in the Posterior Urethral Valve.
J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg
May 2024
Department of Nuclear Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Background: The urinary biomarker response precedes the appearance of any renal structural or functional derangement. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), and Cystatin C (CysC) can act as the early prognostic markers in posterior urethral valve (PUV) patients.
Aim: To compare the urinary levels of TGF-β1, NGAL, and CysC between PUV cases and age matched controls and to correlate these with renal structural and functional parameters.
Trajectory pattern of serially measured acute kidney injury biomarkers in critically ill patients: a prospective observational study.
Ann Intensive Care
June 2024
Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine, The University of Tokyo Hospital, 7-3-1 Hongo, Bunkyo-Ku, Tokyo, 113-8655, Japan.
Background: The clinical value of the trajectory of temporal changes in acute kidney injury (AKI) biomarkers has not been well established among intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Methods: This is a single-center, prospective observational study, performed at a mixed ICU in a teaching medical institute in Tokyo, Japan. Adult ICU patients with an arterial line and urethral catheter were enrolled from September 2014 to March 2015.
