PD-L1 Expression in Nonbacterial Chronic Cystitis and Bladder Cancer
ConclusionsExpression of PD-L1 was detected in a cohort of NCC patients, although the PD-L1 positivity rate was lower than that in BC. Our results demonstrate that the degree of PD-L1 expression in bladder tissue is associated with the presence of viral infections and with the degree of inflammatory infiltration of the bladder wall in both NCC and BC.

Exploring the Topography of the Obturator Artery and Corona Mortis: a Detailed Analysis with Surgical Implications
ConclusionsOur study developed a unique arterial anatomical map of the ObA, showcasing its origin and course. Moreover, we have provided more data for straightforward intraoperative identification of the corona mortis through simple anatomical landmarks, including the pubic symphysis. Interestingly, a statistically significant difference (p <  0.05) between the morphometric properties of the aberrant ObAs and the “normal” ObAs originating from the internal iliac artery was found. It is hoped that our study may aid in reducing the risk of serious hemorrhagic complications during various surgical procedures in the...

Prediction of Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection Following Benign Gynecologic Surgery
ConclusionsA model with high discriminatory ability can predict UTI within 8  weeks of pelvic surgery. Future studies should focus on prospective validation and application of randomized trial models to test the utility of this model in the prevention of postoperative UTI.

Surgeon Upper Extremity Kinematics During Error and Error-Free Retropubic Trocar Passage
ConclusionsBladder penetration during MUS is associated with wrist dorsiflexion and elbow flexion but not internal wrist deviation and arm supination. Attending surgeons exerted control with the wrist and forearm, surgical trainees with the elbow. Our findings have direct implications for MUS teaching.

Long-Term Mesh Exposure 5 Years Following Minimally Invasive Total Hysterectomy and Sacrocolpopexy
ConclusionThe study found that mesh exposure risk gradually increased over time, reaching nearly 10% after more than 5  years post-surgery, regardless of suture type. However, surgical success remained high, and no delayed serious adverse events were reported. (Source: International Urogynecology Journal and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction)
