To evaluate self-reported symptoms to guide urethritis diagnosis, symptomatic men being evaluated for urethritis were asked about 7 symptoms captured during history taking. Discharge and dysuria were significantly associated with urethritis and, when combined with genital irritation and itching, identified 95% of urethritis cases; odor and urinary frequency performed poorly.

Objectives: To show that robot-assisted laparoscopic cutaneous continent urinary diversion (RALCCUD) is feasible and safe; however, data on clinical outcomes in adults are lacking.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all adults who underwent RALCCUD between 2017 and 2022 at a single tertiary reference centre.Patient characteristics, clinical information and perioperative outcomes were recorded.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how early imaging features related to posterior urethral valves (PUV) in children can predict the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and potential renal failure. !* -
- Researchers analyzed data from 274 children diagnosed with PUVs to identify factors such as vesicoureteral reflux and nadir creatinine that correlate with CKD progression over an average follow-up of nearly 6 years. !* -
- Results indicated that the presence of vesicoureteral reflux and a low nadir creatinine level in the first year of life significantly predicted CKD progression, highlighting the usefulness of these early measurements in assessing future renal function. !*

Background: To investigate variations in diagnostic performance of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) according to surgical experience.
Methods: Data were extracted from patients having pT1 or lower primary tumors that underwent PDD-assisted transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) with orally 5-amibolevulinic acid at our institute. Surgical experience was categorized by urological experience (first-year and second-year) and PDD experience (<10, 10-19, and ≥20 cases).
