Objectives: To investigate the association between meteorological factors and common uropathogens in children with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and assesses the potential influence of weather conditions on pediatric UTIs.
Study Design: Analyze the demographic and uropathogen characteristics from children with culture-proven UTIs and its correlation with meteorological factors.
Methods: 2,411 data from infants and children with UTIs in a children's hospital from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A correlation analysis was conducted to investigate the relationship between the monthly detection number of uropathogens and meteorological factors.
Results: Multiple linear stepwise regression analyses showed a positive correlation between monthly average temperature, precipitation volume, sunshine hours, monthly total number of uropathogens, and the number of and . was predominant in <12-month-old children, while was dominant in the 3-18-year age category. showed a higher prevalence in girls, while was more prevalent in boys. exhibited resistance rates of >40% to second-or third-generation cephalosporins in multiple age groups. showed high resistance rates to tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, erythromycin, ampicillin, and penicillin, while displayed higher sensitivity to cephalosporin-sulbactam and amikacin, but higher resistance rates to cefazolin and ceftazidime.
Conclusion: This study reveals the association between meteorological factors and uropathogens in children with UTIs, as well as the distribution, age-related characteristics, gender differences and antibiotic resistance profiles of pathogenic bacteria. These findings inform the development of targeted strategies for UTI prevention and treatment based on uropathogenic characteristics and meteorological conditions.

Objectives: To analyse individual VV-Qmax plots based on multiple home uroflowmetries and compare these with cross-sectional nomograms.
Methods: Healthy volunteers (16-69 years) without LUTS were asked to take a Minze Homeflow device home to register 25 uroflows. Participants reporting urinary tract disorders, malignancy or medication affecting bladder function were excluded.
Objective: To compare the use of intraoperative urethrocystoscopy with postoperative retrograde positive-contrast urethrocystography in male dogs undergoing open cystotomy for urolithiasis and evaluate the efficacy of urethrocystoscopy as an alternative for assessing complete urolith removal.
Methods: This retrospective matched case-control study included 54 male dogs that underwent open cystotomy for urolithiasis between January 2018 and July 2024. Intraoperative urethrocystoscopy was performed in 18 dogs (case group), while postoperative contrast urethrocystography was used in 36 dogs (control group).
