Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of lower urinary tract dysfunctions with urinary leakage from ureterocystoneoanastomosis (UCNA) after kidney transplantation.
Background: The UCNA leakage after kidney transplantation can be associated with various conditions while severe lower urinary tract dysfunctions could be one of them.
Methods: The analysis included all men who underwent kidney transplantation between January 2009 and December 2014. The parameters of storage and voiding functions were evaluated. All patients were monitored during their post-transplantation period for the incidence of urinary leakage from UCNA. Urodynamic parameters were compared between men with and without a documented leakage.
Results: The study cohort included 127 male patients, while UCNA leakage was observed in 11 (8.7 %) patients. Significant differences between both groups of patients were found for storage parameters (patients with leakage had smaller volume at first and a normal desire to void, smaller maximal cystometric capacity, and lower detrusor compliance) and voiding parameters (patients with leakage had a lower maximal flow rate, higher detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate and higher bladder outlet obstruction index).
Conclusion: This study shows an association between lower urinary tract dysfunction and UCNA leakage in men without previous urological history (Tab. 2, Fig. 2, Ref. 24).

Bladder cancer was the 10th most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide in 2020. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nano-sized membranous structures secreted by all types of cells into the extracellular space. EVs can transport proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids to specific target cells.

Intradural lumbar disc herniation (ILDH) is a very rare condition, with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage as a postoperative complication. The central canal of the conus medullaris was reported to communicate with the subarachnoid space through a caudal aperture; however, this aperture has never been observed in vivo. Herein, we report a case of L1/2 ILDH with postoperative spinal adhesive arachnoiditis and syringomyelia in which the communication considered to be a caudal aperture was detected.

Emerging evidence suggests cell exfoliation could be operating under the control of cell metabolism. It is unclear if there are associations between the concentration of exfoliated kidney proximal tubule cells (PTCs) in urine with glycemic control and complications. Our study is aimed at exploring this.

Objectives: Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a challenging chronic inflammatory condition affecting the urinary bladder, with limited treatment options. This study aims to assess the clinical efficacy of repeated intravesical platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for promoting urothelial regeneration and reducing inflammation in patients with IC/BPS and investigate its correlation with subjective and objective treatment-related outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Four monthly intravesical PRP injections were given to 98 patients with non-Hunner-type IC/BPS.

Bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) is common in males with benign prostate enlargement (BPE) and often presents with different lower urinary tract symptoms. Overactive bladder (OAB) has been reported to be related to BOO, although it can also be idiopathic. The storage symptoms of BOO are often similar to those of OAB.
