Non-surgical management in children with non-refluxing primary megaureter: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsThe low pooled prevalence of secondary surgical intervention and high pooled prevalence of resolution may support the current non-surgical management in children with non-refluxing primary megaureter. However, these results should be interpreted cautiously due to the limited available body of evidence. Future studies should overcome existing limitations of imaging methods by using standardized, comparable criteria and report outcome parameters in a quantitative manner. This would allow more sufficient data synthesis to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical decision-making and counseling.Systematic ...

Nutritional management of children with acute kidney injury —clinical practice recommendations from the Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce
AbstractThe nutritional management of children with acute kidney injury (AKI) is complex. The dynamic nature of AKI necessitates frequent nutritional assessments and adjustments in management. Dietitians providing medical nutrition therapies to this patient population must consider the interaction of medical treatments and AKI status to effectively support both the nutrition status of patients with AKI as well as limit adverse metabolic derangements associated with inappropriately prescribed nutrition support. The Pediatric Renal Nutrition Taskforce (PRNT), an international team of pediatric renal dietitians and pediatric ...

The emerging role of the urinary microbiome in benign noninfectious urological conditions: an up-to-date systematic review
ConclusionThe study of the urogenital microbiome is rapidly expanding in urology. Noninfectious benign urogenital diseases, such as BPH, calcium oxalate stones, CPPS, and OAB were found to be associated with specific microbial taxonomies. Further research with larger study populations is necessary to solidify the knowledge of the urine microbiome in these conditions and to facilitate the creation of microbiome-based diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Recent Advances in Surgical Simulation For Resident Education
AbstractPurpose of ReviewSurgical simulation has become a cornerstone for the training of surgical residents, especially for urology residents. Urology as a specialty bolsters a diverse range of procedures requiring a variety of technical skills ranging from open and robotic surgery to endoscopic procedures. While hands-on supervised training on patients still remains the foundation of residency training and education, it may not be sufficient to achieve proficiency for graduation even if case minimums are achieved. It has been well-established that simulation-based education (SBE) can supplement residency training and ach...

Retinopathy is associated with impaired cognition in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis
Conclusions: Retinopathy, a condition common in patients undergoing PD, was associated with global cognitive impairment. These findings highlight retinopathy, can serve as a valuable primary screening tool for assessing the risk of cognitive decline.PMID:37732397 | DOI:10.1080/0886022X.2023.2258989

Comparison of young and old patients on peritoneal dialysis: A retrospective observational study
CONCLUSION: Peritonitis and technical survival evaluations of elderly PD patients, other than mortality, were lower than younger PD patients. However, the need for help is one of the biggest obstacles to this method for the elderly. We believe that incentives in this regard will increase the number of elderly PD patients.PMID:37734902 | DOI:10.1111/sdi.13180

Health inequities in dialysis care: A scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Our scoping review examined current literature on health inequities pertaining to dialysis and found gaps concerning LGBTQ+ and patients with lower levels of education. To help fill these gaps, and possibly alleviate additional burden to these patients, we recommend cultural competency training for providers and dialysis center staff as well as community-based educational programs to improve dialysis patients' health literacy.PMID:37734842 | DOI:10.1111/sdi.13176

Development and evaluation of the MiCheck ® Prostate test for clinically significant prostate cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The MiCheck® Prostate test identifies clinically significant prostate cancer with high sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV). It can be performed in a clinical laboratory using a Roche Cobas clinical chemistry analyzer. The MiCheck® Prostate test could assist in reducing unnecessary prostate biopsies with a marginal number of patients experiencing a delayed diagnosis.PMID:37734979 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.08.005

Kidney functional reserve, KFR, and damage biomarkers in subclinical chronic kidney disease complicated by acute kidney injury
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2023 Sep 21. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00133.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSignificant loss of kidney function is not easily identified by serum creatinine (sCr)-based measurements. In the presence of normal sCr, decreased KFR may identify significant loss of function. We evaluated KFR in experimental subclinical chronic kidney disease (sCKD) before and after brief ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled sinistrin, GFR was measured transcutaneously before and after adenine induced sCKD, and 1 and 2 weeks after brief IRI, and compared with urinary kid...

Pharmacological inhibition of the MLL1-menin-interaction aggravates acute kidney injury induced by folic acid and ischemia/reperfusion in mice
In this study, we investigated the role and mechanisms of MLL1 in murine models of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by folic acid (FA) and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Injury to the kidney elevated expression of MLL1, Menin, WDR5 and H3K4Me3, which was accompanied by increased serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), renal tubular injury and apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of MLL1 activity with MI503 to disrupt the interaction between MLL1 with Menin further increased Scr and BUN levels, enhanced expression of neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin and kidney injury molecule-1, and induced more apopt...
