To examine whether antecedent antimicrobial use influenced subsequent relative risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) in premenopausal women, data were analyzed from two cohorts of women observed prospectively for 6 months to determine risk factors for UTI. Using a Cox proportional hazards model to adjust for covariates, we found that 326 women in a University cohort and 425 women in a health-ma...

Urinary tract involvement in resectable peritoneal malignancies might require extensive resections and reconstructions in the genitourinary tract during the performance of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), a fact which could impair the postoperative course and survival of these patients. We performed a review of the literature to assess whether ...

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are defined as diseases which are caused by a microbial invasion of the genitourinary tract that extends from the renal cortex of the kidney to the urethral meatus 2 . Among UTIs acquired in the hospital, approximately 75% are associated with a urinary catheter 3 .

PURPOSE Radiotherapy (RT) is an integral component in the management of many abdominal and pelvic malignancies. Imaging follow-up in patients who have received RT is performed to assess for treatment response, evaluate for tumour recurrence and to diagnose complications related to treatment. The purpose of this pictorial review is to depict the expected imaging findings and potential complicati...

Humans are the only natural reservoir for meningococci. The appropriate specimens that should be taken for isolation of meningococci are dependent on the clinical question. The most appropriate specimen and/or laboratory techniques for microbiological diagnosis in an acutely sick patient with suspected invasive disease like meningitis/septicemia (1) may be quite different from those required fo...

Tuberculosis remains a global health problem, primarily in developing countries with inadequate health services. A significant portion of tuberculosis in these settings is extrapulmonary, including tuberculosis of the genitourinary tract. Patients with genital tuberculosis are usually young women detected during work up for infertility. After menopause, tuberculosis of the endometrium is a rare...

Primary ureteral neoplasms are very rare and its prevalence is less than 1% of all genitourinary neoplasms. We report a symptomatic giant ureteral fibro epithelial polyp in adult women presenting as a bladder mass which was resected ureteroscopically and reported at the first time from Iran. Cystoscopy is growing use in the treatment of urinary tract lesions Cystoscopy can be used in large lesi...
