Aim: To clarify the etiology of nosocomial UTIs occurring in the urology departments and the outpatient clinic of the Ivanovo Regional Clinical Hospital (IvRCH), to develop recommendations on the empirical use of antibiotic therapy.
Materials And Methods: Bacterial composition of urine in urological patients was monitored from 1999 to 2015. The sensitivity of the pathogens to the main antibacterial agents was determined using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion susceptibility test.
Results: The study determined the frequency of detecting pathogens associated with urinary tract infections in adults and children, established the association between the spectrum of pathogens and patient age and determined the most effective antibacterial drugs in patients with nosocomial UTI in the Ivanovo region. High resistance levels of E. coli strains were detected against fluoroquinolones, nalidixic acid, and nitrofurans; they were three times higher than that against cephalosporins.
Conclusion: The findings show the need to reduce the empirical use of fluoroquinolones, nalidixic acid, and nitrofurans and completely exclude the use of ampicillin in patients with nosocomial UTI in the Ivanovo region. To reduce the occurrence of nosocomial infections, patients discharged from the hospital should be administered empirical therapy with third-generation cephalosporins.

Cardiovascular Research Institute, Yokohama City University Graduate School of Medicine, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Aims: To investigate the relationship between nocturia and values measured using a novel multifunctional portable urine-measuring device.
Methods: Thirty-five older men with nocturia and/or high-normal or high blood pressure were enrolled to record measurements on one full day (24 h) and two nights using the portable device during urination. Participants used a semi-conical cup with a small hole equipped with a conductivity sensor, temperature sensor, and timer to measure urine volume, salt content, urine temperature, and urination speed.
Retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for multiple T1b renal carcinomas in a solitary kidney: A case report.
Urol Case Rep

Department of Urology, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, Qingdao, 266550, China.
This case highlights the effective use of retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RLPN) in a 73-year-old female with two large renal carcinomas in her solitary kidney, including a 7 cm deeply infiltrating mass. The RLPN procedure successfully resected both tumors with a thermal ischemia time of 28 minutes, 110 minutes of surgery, and only 30 mL of blood loss. The patient's postoperative recovery was excellent, with no hemorrhage or urine leakage and only a mild increase in serum creatinine levels.

Department of Urology, Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, Xi'an, China.
Background: Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is a prevalent urological condition which has a substantial impact on the life quality of affected individuals, resulting in restrictions in daily activities and work productivity. Alcohol is a diuretic, which means that it increases urine production and can potentially worsen urinary urgency and frequency. Several studies have investigated the association between alcohol consumption and OAB symptoms, but the results have been conflicting.
