Objectives: (1) To determine frequency of urinary tract infection among pyuric diabetic patients. (2) To determine sterile pyuria frequency among pyuric diabetic patients. (3) To determine factors predisposing to urinary tract infection.
Methods: This is a non randomized, prospective observational study done in tertiary care set up of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. Data collection done from June 2013 till August 2013. Sampling was done by convenient method, sample size of 97. Inclusion criteria was all adult (above 16) patients with diabetes mellitus and pyuria (more than 4 pus cells /HPF) whose urine culture report was also available. Verbal consent was sought from patients. All data was collected on a Performa. Data was maintained and analyzed on SPSS version 16.
Results: Total number of pyuric diabetic patients in study was 97. Frequency of Urinary tract infection was 59/97 (60.82%), prevalence of culture negative sterile pyuria was found 38/97 (39.17%). Urinary tract infection was found to be more in females with lower urinary tract symptoms and flank pains. Stone disease, obstructed pelvicalyceal system, proteinuria, high serum creatinine and positive nitrites were found more in culture positive patients than in culture negative pyuric patients.
Conclusions: Pyuric diabetic patients in our study population were found to have culture positive UTI in 60.82% and culture negative sterile pyuria among 39.17% of patients. UTI was found more in females, in symptomatic patient and with abnormal urinary tract anatomy and function.

The gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium Morganella morganii is linked to a number of illnesses, including nosocomial infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs). A clinical isolate from a UTI patient in Bangladesh was subjected to high-throughput whole genome sequencing and extensive bioinformatics analysis in order to gather knowledge about the genomic basis of bacterial defenses and pathogenicity in M. morganii.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a well-known metabolic disease with increasing prevalence. Diabetic-related complications lead to different types of organ damage, some of which some of which are less well-known. In the lower urinary tract, a complex interplay of neuronal, myogenic, and urothelial dysfunction leads to functional disorders of the lower urinary tract, with disorders of bladder storage and bladder emptying being in the forefront.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of hysterectomy for benign uterine tumors on subsequent ovarian reserve, sexual function, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Methods: The present study was a prospective longitudinal analysis that recruited patients aged 35-45 years who underwent simple hysterectomy without oophorectomy for symptomatic benign uterine tumors. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and serum sex hormone profiles, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and total testosterone, were measured at four timepoints: before hysterectomy, and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.

Background: Adrenal Vein Sampling (AVS) is the gold standard for categorizing primary aldosteronism (PA). However, catheterization of the right adrenal vein (RAV) can be technically challenging. This study aimed to investigate the validity of the right renal vertebral contour as fluoroscopic landmarks to help RAV orifice localization during AVS.
