Urine-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (USCs) could be a valuable source of cells in regenerative medicine because urine can be easily collected non-invasively. In this paper, USCs were isolated from both healthy dogs and dogs affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the efficacy of collection methods (spontaneous micturition, bladder catheterization, and cystocentesis) were compared. Isolated cells were cultured in the presence of platelet-rich plasma and studied for their proliferative capacity (growth curve, doubling time, and colony forming unit), differentiation properties, expression of mesenchymal markers, and Klotho protein.

Objective: To explore independent risk factors and to establish a predictive model for postoperative urinary retention (POUR) following transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair (TAPP).
Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2023, 598 patients with inguinal hernia who underwent TAPP at the General Surgery Department of Zunyi Medical University Affiliated Liupanshui Hospital were enrolled in the study. Participants were randomly divided into training and validation sets (7:3 ratio).

Introduction: Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) has significant advantages over indwelling catheters. To facilitate CIC, a continent catheterizable channel (CCC) to the bladder is required in some cases. The Mitrofanoff appendicovesicostomy (APV) is considered the gold standard for pediatric CCC creation.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a well-known metabolic disease with increasing prevalence. Diabetic-related complications lead to different types of organ damage, some of which some of which are less well-known. In the lower urinary tract, a complex interplay of neuronal, myogenic, and urothelial dysfunction leads to functional disorders of the lower urinary tract, with disorders of bladder storage and bladder emptying being in the forefront.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by urease-producing bacteria are known to cause hyperammonemia; however, non-urease-producing bacteria can also cause it. This report describes a case of an 87-year-old woman who developed hyperammonemia and impaired consciousness resulting from a UTI caused by the non-urease-producing bacterium, (). On admission, the patient presented with urinary retention, hyperammonemia (281 μg/dL), and alkaline urine (pH 8.
