The Critical Role of Intracellular Bacterial Communities in Uncomplicated Recurrent Urinary Cystitis: A Comprehensive Review of Detection Methods and Diagnostic Potential
Int Neurourol J. 2024 Mar;28(1):4-10. doi: 10.5213/inj.2448066.033. Epub 2024 Mar 31.ABSTRACTUrinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide and are particularly prevalent in women. Recurrent UTIs significantly diminish quality of life due to their symptoms and frequent relapses. Patients often experience immediate relapse following slightly strenuous activities or intense psychological stress. In this review, we explore why infections persist despite the advent of various treatments and suggest strategies to manage recurrent cystitis by targeting the mechanisms of adhesion and infe...

Pudendal Nerve Neurolysis in Patients Afflicted With Pudendal Nerve Entrapment: A Systematic Review of Surgical Techniques and Their Efficacy
Int Neurourol J. 2024 Mar;28(1):11-21. doi: 10.5213/inj.2448010.005. Epub 2024 Mar 31.ABSTRACTTo assess the effectiveness and safety of various techniques of pudendal nerve neurolysis (PNN) in patients with pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE). A comprehensive literature search was conducted on May 20th, 2023, using Scopus, PubMed, and Embase databases. Only studies in English involving adults were accepted, while meeting abstracts and preclinical studies were excluded. A total of 34 papers were included. Transperineal PNN emerged as a promising technique, demonstrating significant potential in alleviating pain, restoring erect...

Impact of Exercise Training on Survival Rate and Neural Cell Death in Sepsis Through the Maintenance of Redox Equilibrium
CONCLUSION: Exercise training may delay the progression from the hyperdynamic state to the hypodynamic phase of sepsis by increasing antioxidant capacity and reducing apoptotic cell death.PMID:38569617 | PMC:PMC10990757 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2448044.022 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)

Prediction of Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification Based on A Nonlinear Transformation Stacking Learning Strategy
CONCLUSION: This study aimed to improve clinicians' ability to rapidly assess PCa risk stratification while reducing the burden on patients. This was achieved by using artificial intelligence-related technologies as an auxiliary method for diagnosing PCa.PMID:38569618 | PMC:PMC10990759 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2346332.166 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and the Risk of Falls in Older Men: Insights From a Population-Based Study on Geriatric Morbid Conditions
CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that BPH contributes to the incidence of falls among older men, particularly those with comorbid conditions. Considering the heightened fall risk among elderly individuals suffering from multiple morbidities, particularly those with BPH, targeted interventions are essential for mitigating the risk of falls in this vulnerable group.PMID:38569619 | PMC:PMC10990761 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2448064.032 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)

Efficacy and Safety of Low-Dose Intravesical OnabotulinumtoxinA Injections in Female Patients With Detrusor Overactivity With Detrusor Underactivity
CONCLUSION: Low-dose intravesical onabotA for DODU demonstrated a relatively shorter duration of efficacy than OAB. Nonetheless, the treatment improved both storage and voiding symptoms in patients with DODU without significant adverse effects.PMID:38569620 | PMC:PMC10990756 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2346228.114 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)

Surgical Outcomes and Predictive Factors in Patients With Detrusor Underactivity Undergoing Bladder Outlet Obstruction Surgery
CONCLUSION: In men with DU accompanied by equivocal or significant BOO, surgical intervention to alleviate the obstruction may enhance the IPSS, quality of life, and UFM results. However, those with DU and an unobstructed bladder outlet face a comparatively high risk of treatment failure. Preoperative detrusor overactivity and urinary catheterization are associated with more favorable surgical outcomes. Consequently, active deobstructive surgery should be considered for patients with DU who are experiencing urinary retention.PMID:38569621 | PMC:PMC10990765 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2346252.126 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)

Water Vapor Therapy and Zonal Anatomy of the Prostate
Int Neurourol J. 2024 Mar;28(1):67-69. doi: 10.5213/inj.2346278.139. Epub 2024 Mar 31.ABSTRACTWater vapor therapy using Rezūm has been recently introduced as a minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia and is being increasingly performed. However, there is a lack of real-time images showing this practice and how convective water vapor acts in the prostate gland. In real-time ultrasonography, convective water vapor rapidly spreads throughout the ipsilateral transitional zone and is mostly limited within the transitional zone. For educational purposes, we would like to present a case to help readers unders...
