The level of the human body's burden of benzophenone and camphor ultraviolet (UV) filters can be estimated from their urinary levels. The present study describes the implementations and validation of the sensitive analytical method for the analysis of seven benzophenone and two camphor UV filters in urine. Sample preparation includes overnight enzymatic hydrolysis and ethyl acetate extraction followed by purification by dispersive solid-phase extraction using a sorbent Z-Sep.

Background And Objective: Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is commonly used in France in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). However, it has never been assessed using patient-reported outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of robotic AUS implantation using validated questionnaires.

Purpose: While pump manipulation is rarely problematic in male patients with artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs), the situation may differ in female patients due to anatomical or cultural factors. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of difficulties in pump manipulation among female AUS patients, identify associated risk factors, and explore management strategies for this challenging issue.
Methods: Data were collected from all female patients who underwent a robotic AUS implantation at a single academic center between 2014 and 2022.

Glucose transporters are essential carrier proteins that function on the phospholipid bilayer to facilitate glucose diffusion across cell membranes. The transporters play many physiological and pathological roles in addition to absorption and metabolism of fructose in food and the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal diseases. These carrier proteins play an important role in diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, and urinary system.
