Multi-omics analysis reveals critical metabolic regulators in bladder cancer
ConclusionsThis study provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis, focusing on identifying key regulatory factors that may lead to cancer metabolic heterogeneity. Further understanding and verification of the cancer genes driving metabolic reprogramming and their role in the progression of bladder cancer will help to identify new therapeutic targets.

A modified sling mid-urethral suspension  + subcutaneous tunnel-double point fixation technique for male stress urinary incontinence: a pilot study
ConclusionThe modified sling mid-urethral suspension  + subcutaneous tunnel-double point fixation technique for the treatment of male urinary incontinence patients is safe, effective, minimally invasive, and has few complications. However, further validation in large sample, randomized, comparative, and longer-term follow-up studies is still neede d. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

Surgeon-administered regional nerve blocks during radical cystectomy: a feasibility study
ConclusionOur data suggest that urologists may feasibly perform US-guided TAP blocks as a practical, efficient, and safe method of regional anesthesia. SU-TAP blocks should be considered in ERAS protocols for RC. Future comparative studies on opioid consumption compared to local infiltration and alternative block techniques are warranted.

Preoperative low plasma creatine kinase levels predict worse survival outcomes in bladder cancer after radical cystectomy
ConclusionsThe preoperative low CK level independently predicts worse survival outcomes in BCa after RC. Incorporating it into prediction models might be valuable to assist risk stratification. (Source: International Urology and Nephrology)

3  M antimicrobial incise drape combined with MEBO in wound recovery of postoperative hypospadias surgery
ConclusionPostoperative dressing using 3  M antimicrobial incise drape + MEBO can achieve lower incidence rates of bleeding during dressing, postoperative glans darkening, and dressing falling off, a lower pain degree during dressing removal, and a better overall comfort level than those of the control group. This method is cost-effec tive and clinically safe, which contributes to the postoperative recovery of children with hypospadias and is thus worth promoting and applying.
