The material consisted of 902 strains isolated from children with urinary tract infection with significant bacteriuria. Among isolated strains, Enterobacteriaceae consisted 67.4%, Gram-positive cocci 18.8% and non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli (both against Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci), appeared aminoglycosides and III generation cephalosporins (from 63 to 83% of susceptible strains). K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa were most resistant to antimicrobials tested. The authors point out that empiric antibiotic therapy of bacterial urinary tract infections in children which is not preceded by identification of the pathogen and determination of its drug susceptibility, can be ineffective in over 50% of cases.

Introduction: Macrophages exhibit marked phenotypic heterogeneity within and across disease states, with lipid metabolic reprogramming contributing to macrophage activation and heterogeneity. Chronic inflammation has been observed in human benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues, however macrophage activation states and their contributions to this hyperplastic disease have not been defined. We postulated that a shift in macrophage phenotypes with increasing prostate size could involve metabolic alterations resulting in prostatic epithelial or stromal hyperplasia.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in isolated from urine cultures of patients with uncomplicated cystitis in Pakistan. Another objective was to analyze and compare the resistance rates of to specific antibiotics, conducting a year-by-year evaluation of these rates to identify trends and changes over the past seven years.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of susceptibility data of isolated from midstream urine culture samples of patients presenting in outpatient department with uncomplicated cystitis, from January 2016 to December 2022 in the section of Microbiology, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences was done.

Jun Zang Neurological Rehabilitation Center, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University, Beijing 100000, Beijing, China.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic bladder and its impact on urodynamics.
Methods: This was a clinical comparative study. A total of 120 patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University and Beijing Shijingshan Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were randomly divided into two groups (n= 60/group).
Background And Aims: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a prevalent bacterial infection that has substantial implications for healthcare on a global scale. () is a gram-negative rod responsible for most UTI cases. ESBL-producing is widely recognized as a significant contributor to antibiotic resistance.
