Refining Bacteriuria as a Risk Factor for Complications after Urethroplasty: Identifying the Culprit
To determine which bacteria are associated with an increased risk of 90-day complications after urethroplasty. Pre-operative bacteriuria is associated with an increased risk of complications after urethroplasty. However, it remains unclear which specific micro-organisms are the primary drivers of this morbidity. (Source: Urology)

Defining Preferred Esthetics of the Ideal Phallus via Crowdsource Survey
To describe phalloplasty subunits and determine the preferred crowdsourced esthetics. Esthetic ideals are often used to guide reconstruction, and there has been an increase in the number of gender-affirming surgeries and reconstructive phalloplasties performed. However, there is a paucity of literature describing ideal phalloplasty esthetics. (Source: Urology)

The Urinary Microbiome Composition in Infants
Recent advances in genomic analysis techniques have led to interest in the human microbiome. Traditional culture methods has been surpassed as 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing techniques enables detection of bacteria in environments previously thought to be sterile.1 This method targets the 30S subunit of the prokaryotic ribosome, a gene which consists of conserved regions present in all bacteria and hypervariable regions which differ between species.2 Comparison of sequencing data from a specific environment of interest to known databases allows the taxonomic classification of bacteria found in that environment.
