Background: Follicular cystitis is an uncommon inflammatory change in the urinary bladder wall characterized by the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in the submucosa.
Objectives: To characterize clinical and pathologic features of follicular cystitis in dogs and to explore in situ distribution and possible role of Escherichia coli as an associated cause.
Animals: Eight dogs diagnosed with follicular cystitis and 2 control dogs.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study. Dogs diagnosed with follicular cystitis (macroscopic follicular lesions in the urinary bladder mucosa and histopathologic detection of TLSs in bladder wall biopsies) were identified from medical records. Paraffin embedded bladder wall biopsies were subject to in situ hybridization for E. coli 16SrRNA identification.
Results: Follicular cystitis was diagnosed in large breed (median weight 24.9 kg, interquartile range [IQR] 18.8-35.4 kg) female dogs with a history of chronic recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs; median duration of clinical signs 7 months, IQR 3-17 months; median number of previous UTIs 5, IQR 4-6). Positive E. coli 16SrRNA signal was detected within developing, immature and mature TLSs in 7/8 dogs, through submucosal stroma in 8/8 dogs and within the urothelium in 3/8 dogs.
Conclusions And Clinical Importance: Chronic inflammation associated with an intramural E. coli infection in the urinary bladder wall represents a possible triggering factor for the development of follicular cystitis.

Follicular cystitis (FC) is a chronic form of cystitis with uncertain etiology, characterized by the presence of lymphoid follicles in the bladder mucosa as a result of chronic irritation. This can be caused by various factors such as prolonged catheterization, lithiasis, recurrent urinary tract infections or neoplastic bladder pathology. Although it is a rare pathology, it is mainly seen in women over 50 years of age and manifests with nonspecific urinary symptoms such as dysuria, pollakiuria, haematuria and suprapubic pain.

Introduction And Importance: Follicular cystitis (FC) is a rare inflammatory disorder of the bladder that predominantly affects women. The exact cause of FC remains largely unknown, although it has been associated with inflammatory processes and bacterial infections, particularly following urinary tract infections. Regarding orphan diseases, like follicular cystitis, where large-scale trials seem virtually impossible, case reports find their place and guide the scientific community to find the best course of action.

Background: Leuprorelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used to treat hormone-related disorders. This study aims to explore and analyze the safety profile of leuprorelin by examining adverse event reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
Methods: This study conducted a retrospective pharmacovigilance analysis using FAERS data from Q1 2004 to Q1 2024.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of coated metal ureteral stents (CMUS) in treating pelvic lipomatosis-induced hydronephrosis (PLH) in 8 male patients from 2018 to 2021.
- Key inclusion criteria included excessive fat around the bladder and evidence of hydronephrosis, while patients with ureteral atresia or recurrent bladder obstruction were excluded.
- Outcomes showed a significant improvement post-operation, with decreased serum creatinine levels and reduced renal pelvis width, indicating successful management of hydronephrosis.

Purpose: This research focused on meticulously tracking and identifying adverse reactions associated with leuprorelin, a drug prescribed for conditions such as prostate cancer, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and early-onset puberty. The main objective was to enhance patient safety and offer informed guidance on the appropriate use of this treatment.
Methods: From the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2023, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on a significant number of adverse event reports (AERs) from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database.
