To determine the patient-perceived effectiveness and tolerability of mirabegron compared to solifenacin in a multiple sclerosis (MS) population with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.

MS patients with OAB symptoms who were not on medication for their urinary symptoms at enrollment were prospectively recruited. Patients enrolled in years 1-2 were prescribed mirabegron, whereas patients enrolled in years 3-4 were prescribed solifenacin. At enrollment and 6-week follow-up, patients completed several patient reported outcome measures. The primary outcome was change in OAB Questionnaire Short Form (OAB-q SF) symptom severity and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement. The Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) was used to assess bowel function over the treatment period.

Sixty-one patients were enrolled. The majority of the mirabegron (70%) and the solifenacin (69%) group achieved the OAB-q SF symptom severity MCID. The solifenacin group had a statistically significant greatith solifenacin, this potential benefit must be weighed against the observed risk of worsening constipation. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
To report our immediate and delayed outcomes of nonstented tubularized incised plate (TIP) distal hypospadias repair.

We retrospectively reviewed all charts of children who underwent distal hypospadias repair in a single children's hospital from 2013 to 2018. Patients' demographics, hypospadias characteristics, operative technique, and immediate and delayed outcomes were recorded.

Of 280 consecutive distal hypospadias repairs that were identified, 74 were excluded due to the use of a repair other than TIP. Eleven stented TIP repairs were excluded as well. Of 195 nonstented repairs, immediate postoperative voiding complications were recorded in 11 (5.6%) and included multiple/split stream in 6 (3%), dysuria and voiding difficulty in 2 (1%), urinary retention in 2 (1%), and gross hematuria that spontaneously resolved in 1 (0.5%). Late follow up was recorded in 142 of 195 (72.8%) repairs. Delayed urethroplasty/glansplasty complications were recorded in 12 (8.5%) and included urethrocutaneous fistula in 10 (7.0%), meatal stenosis in 6 (4.2%) and glans/urethroplasty dehiscence in 2 (1.4%).

Avoiding postoperative urethral stents in distal hypospadias TIP repair reduces the morbidity associated with the stent and is a feasible option that carries acceptable immediate and delayed complication rates. Avoiding the stent eliminates stent-related bladder spasms, the need for other medications, and the short-term office visit for stent removal, therefore reducing parental anxiety, patient discomfort, and reducing cost.

We present a case report of a 26-year-old male, as a clinical challenge in urology, who had minimal symptoms, yet had an arteriovenous fistula with a large aneurysm which was diagnosed as a parapelvic cyst on ultrasound. Endovascular treatment of the arteriovenous fistula was done using a vascular plug with satisfactory outcomes.
In France about 32% of hospitalized patients have a vascular access placement. However, a common complication associated with these is catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBI) due to the introduction of microorganisms from the skin during catheter insertion. There is no consensus on the best way to clean the skin prior to catheter insertion, which could be a key element of CRBI prevention. The two techniques most commonly used to apply antiseptic to the skin are the concentric circle and back-and-forth techniques, but these have not been compared in clinical trials. Hence, this study conducted this comparison.

This single-center, non-comparative, randomized, matched pilot study investigated the levels of cutaneous microorganisms before and after antiseptic application using both techniques in a population of healthy French volunteers. The two application methods were used on each participant's arms at the elbow fold, with randomization for the application side (right or left). Quantification of cutanster with similar results. Future studies should investigate the impact of skin application technique on the prevention of infectious risk associated with catheter insertion on admission to health care facilities (conventional, outpatient, or emergency) and throughout the period of stay in a health care facility.The discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), reprogrammed to pluripotency from somatic cells, has transformed the landscape of regenerative medicine, disease modelling and drug discovery pipelines. Since the first generation of iPSCs in 2006, there has been enormous effort to develop new methods that increase reprogramming efficiency, and obviate the need for viral vectors. In parallel to this, the promise of in vivo reprogramming to convert cells into a desired cell type to repair damage in the body, constitutes a new paradigm in approaches for tissue regeneration. This review article explores the current state of reprogramming techniques for iPSC generation with a specific focus on alternative methods that use biophysical and biochemical stimuli to reduce or eliminate exogenous factors, thereby overcoming the epigenetic barrier towards vector-free approaches with improved clinical viability. Roc-A We then focus on application of iPSC for therapeutic approaches, by giving an overview of ongoing clinical trials using iPSCs for a variety of health conditions and discuss future scope for using materials and reagents to reprogram cells in the body.
