< i > Trichomonas vaginalis < /i > adherence phenotypes and extracellular vesicles impact parasite survival in a novel < i > in vivo < /i > model of pathogenesis
by Brenda M. Molgora, Sandip Kumar Mukherjee, Sharon Baumel-Alterzon, Fernanda M. Santiago, Katherine A. Muratore, Anthony E. Sisk Jr, Frances Mercer, Patricia J. JohnsonTrichomonas vaginalis is a human infective parasite responsible for trichomoniasis –the most common, non-viral, sexually transmitted infection worldwide.T.vaginalis resides exclusively in the urogenital tract of both men and women. In women,T.vaginalis has been found colonizing the cervix and vaginal tract while in men it has been identified in the upper and lower urogenital tract and in secreted fluids such as semen, urethral discharge, urine, and prost...

Management of Patients with Detrusor Hyperactivity with Impaired Contractility
AbstractPurpose of ReviewDetrusor hyperactivity and impaired contractility (DHIC) is a common condition seen in elderly patients who suffered from lower urinary tract symptoms. Hypothetical pathogenesis and debatable definition of diagnosis may have caused difficulties in developing effective treatments through the past decades. In this review, we aim to discuss currently available treatments of DHIC.Recent FindingsMirabegron was an effective treatment option with subjective symptom improvement and reduced post-void residual volume at 6 months. Intravesical injection of onabotulinumtoxinA improved overactive bladder (OAB) ...

Management of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria and Urinary Tract Infections in Patients with Neurogenic Bladder and Factors Associated with Inappropriate Diagnosis and Treatment
CONCLUSION: Up to half of UTI encounters for patients with NB had inappropriate management, largely due to inappropriate UTI diagnosis in patients with true ASB. Interventions to improve ASB and UTI management in patients with NB should target complex patients with comorbidities being seen by non-rehabilitation providers.PMID:37827486 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.09.023 (Source: Health Physics)
