Implementing a urinary tract infection clinical practice guideline in an ambulatory urgent care practice - Abstract
A clinical practice guideline for uncomplicated urinary tract infections in an ambulatory urgent care practice was implemented.
Infections
Infectious outcomes of nephrostomy drainage before percutaneous nephrolithotomy compared to concurrent access - Abstract
PURPOSE: We hypothesized that establishing percutaneous nephrostomy drainage and treating with renal urine culture specific antibiotics would lead to a decreased sepsis rate in patients at increased risk for infection.
The frequencies of both urinary tract infection and asymptomatic bacteriuria increase with age - Abstract
Urinary tract infection is common in the elderly, and the prevalence increases with age due to pathological changes in the urinary tract and common use of bladder catheter.

BACKGROUND: Microbiologic culture of urine is an important component in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI).
Reconstruction of perineoscrotal defects in Fournier's gangrene with pedicle anterolateral thigh perforator flap - Abstract
BACKGROUND: Fournier's gangrene is an acute and potentially lethal necrotizing fasciitis that involves the scrotum and perineum.
Post-operative infection rates in patients with a negative baseline urine culture undergoing ureteroscopic stone removal: A matched case control analysis on antibiotic prophylaxis from the CROES URS Global Study - Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among young adults, especially women.
New markers: Urine xanthine oxidase and myeloperoxidase in the early detection of urinary tract infection - Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate if xanthine oxidase and myeloperoxidase levels quantitation method may alternate routine culture method, which takes more time in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections.
Is there any benefit in pre-operative urinary analysis before elective total joint replacement? - Abstract
Whether patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria should be investigated and treated before elective hip and knee replacement is controversial, although it is a widespread practice.
Urinary tract infections caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing bacteria in children: A matched case control study - Abstract
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens are emerging as a cause of urinary tract infections (UTI) worldwide.
Fournier's gangrene - delayed pedicle flap based upon the anterior abdominal wall - Abstract
Introduction: Fournier's gangrene is a poly-microbial necrotizing fasciitis that involves the perineum and/or external genitalia.
Managing uncomplicated recurrent urinary tract infections in reproductive aged women: A primary care approach - Abstract
PURPOSE: Uncomplicated, recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) in heal-thy, premenopausal women are a common health complaint.

Development of a urinary-specific antibiogram for gram-negative isolates: Impact of patient risk factors on susceptibility - Abstract
BACKGROUND: Traditional antibiograms guide clinicians in selecting appropriate empiric antimicrobials, but they lack data on syndrome/disease-specific susceptibility, isolate location, polymicrobial infections, and patient risk factors.
Solitary candida albicans infection causing fournier gangrene and review of fungal etiologies - Abstract
Polymicrobial bacterial infections are commonly found in cases of Fournier gangrene (FG), although fungal growth may occur occasionally.
Genital and urinary tract infections in diabetes: Impact of pharmacologically-induced glucosuria - Abstract
Predisposition to genital infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) results from several factors such as glucosuria, adherence of bacteria to the uroepithelium and immune dysfunction.
