Impact and Safety of Diagnostic Stewardship to Improve Urine Culture Testing Among Patients with Indwelling Urinary Catheters

open access: yesAntimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Background: Indiscriminate urine culturing of patients with indwelling urinary catheters may lead to overdiagnosis of urinary tract infections, resulting in unnecessary antibiotic treatment and inaccurate reporting of catheter-associated urinary tract ...

A bundle-based approach on catheter-associated urinary tract infection: a multi-center study in Chinese tertiary hospitals

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
Background Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are one of the most common types of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Current studies mainly focus on risk factors, but the method to control them is unresolved.

Short‐Term Surgical Outcomes: Modified Dorsal Inlay Graft Versus Tubularized Incised Plate Urethroplasty in Pediatric Hypospadias With Narrow Urethral Plates

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1528-1534, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Reconstructing the urethra presents in hypospadias surgery is difficult. Occasionally, the urethral plate (UP) may be quite narrow, necessitating augmentation or replacement to achieve additional tubularization. Objective The objective of this research was to assess the application of modified dorsal inlay graft (mDIG) and ...

Development of an Imaging‐Based Method for Analyzing Voided Urine Flow Using Conventional and High‐Speed Video Cameras: A Phantom Study

open access: yesLUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, Volume 18, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims This study examined whether voided urine form could be an independent parameter to evaluate pathology of the lower urinary tract separately from conventional uroflowmetric measurements. We also evaluated a novel combined methodology of dynamically measuring the velocity and cross‐sectional area (CA) of voided urine.

Predictive Value of FT3/FT4 and Neutrophil‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratios for Post‐Ischemic Stroke Urinary Tract Infection and Their Association With Longitudinal Functional Recovery Trajectories: A Retrospective Cohort Study

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates how acute ischemic stroke may be accompanied by neuroendocrine‐immune dysregulation, represented by a low FT3/FT4 ratio and a high neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio, which together improve early identification of patients at risk for post‐ischemic stroke urinary tract infection.

Prevalence and Determinants of Hospital‐Acquired Infections in Intensive Care Units Before and After the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Retrospective Descriptive Surveillance Study at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Iran

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Hospital‐acquired infections (HAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) cause significant morbidity, mortality, and costs. The COVID‐19 pandemic intensified infection control, but its effect on HAI prevalence and patterns is unclear.

From Oral Candidiasis to Candidemia: A Review of Superficial to Invasive Progression

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Recent and limited evidence indicates that oral candidiasis can disseminate Candida albicans throughout the body, leading to invasive candidiasis, such as candidemia, a life‐threatening infection. Considering antifungal resistance and global outbreaks of emergent non‐albicans Candida and related yeasts, murine models help understand dissemination ...

Development and Validation of a Chinese Version of the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Instrument After Initial Invasive Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage: A Methodological Study

open access: yesNursing Open, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims and Objectives To conduct the initial development and validation of a Chinese readiness for hospital discharge instrument for patients after initial invasive percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD). Background The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) is a generic measure and may not fully capture PTBD‐specific readiness,
