Unlabelled: Although SGLT2 inhibitors have been initially employed in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, their clinical use was later extended to the treatment of other conditions such as heart failure, chronic kidney disease and obesity. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors has been associated with an increased incidence of urogenital infections, which may be linked to high glucose levels in the urine. The rate of urogenital side effects may be different in non-diabetic patients.

Article Synopsis
- Surgeons dealing with infections in the urinary tract should focus on draining the infection through methods like double J stent insertion or percutaneous nephrostomy, delaying definitive stone treatments until the infection is cleared.
- The case involves an elderly woman with complex kidney stones and infections, complicating traditional treatment approaches, with some unusual characteristics like absence of inflammatory markers and presence of a "calcium milk" abscess.
- The article stresses the importance of recognizing hidden infections during surgeries for urinary stones and highlights the need for thorough drainage and antibiotic treatment as key management strategies.
Olbert's Balloon Dilatation as a Minimally Invasive Possibility of Treating Ureteral Stricture After Complicated URS-L in Children.

Department of Pediatric Urology, Private Medical Center "Klinika Wisniowa", Zielona Góra, Poland.
Olbert's balloon dilatation is a surgical technique used for the treatment of ureteral stricture. Although it is more frequently used in adults, due to the advancing miniaturization of the equipment, this technique has become possible in children. We would like to present five cases of Olbert's balloon dilatation carried out in children with ureteral stricture, aged 12-17 years.

Article Synopsis
- Alpha-adrenoreceptor antagonists, or alpha-blockers, are commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and benign prostatic hyperplasia, but can impact sexual function differently based on the specific drug used.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis of 75 randomized controlled trials found that alpha-blockers significantly increased the odds of ejaculatory disorders, especially with uroselective agents like silodosin.
- However, there were no significant differences in the odds of erectile dysfunction when comparing alpha-blockers to placebo, indicating that not all sexual side effects are equally likely with these medications.
Urinary Stent Development and Evaluation Models: In Vitro, Ex Vivo and In Vivo-A European Network of Multidisciplinary Research to Improve Urinary Stents (ENIUS) Initiative.

: When trying to modify urinary stents, certain pre-clinical steps have to be followed before clinical evaluation in humans. Usually, the process starts as an in silico assessment. The urinary tract is a highly complex, dynamic and variable environment, which makes a computer simulation closely reflecting physiological conditions extremely challenging.

Encrustation of the ureteral double-J Stents made of styrene/ethylene/butylene and polyurethane before and after implantation.
Acta Bioeng Biomech
January 2022
Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Zielona Góra, Zielona Góra, Poland.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the affinity to crystal, calculi and biofilm deposition on ureteral double-J stents (DJ stents) after ureterorenoscopic-lithotripsy procedure (URS-L). The analysis was performed in two aspects: to determine which material used for fabricating ureteral stents promotes encrustation and which part of the DJ stents is the most vulnerable for blockage.
Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with an indwelling DJ stent duration between 7 and 78 days were included in this study.
