Protocol of the Australasian Malignant Pleural Effusion (AMPLE) trial: a multicentre randomised study comparing indwelling pleural catheter versus talc pleurodesis [PDF]

, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Malignant pleural effusion can complicate most cancers. It causes breathlessness and requires hospitalisation for invasive pleural drainages. Malignant effusions often herald advanced cancers and limited prognosis.

Polydopamine‐Antibiotic Composite Coating for Antibiofilm Applications

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
Antibiotic‐loaded polydopamine coatings are developed to combat biofilm‐forming bacteria on catheter surfaces. These coatings strongly inhibit Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation on diverse materials, including during continuous artificial‐urine flow, and can accommodate multiple antibiotics.

Detrusor Overactivity and Urodynamics

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While overactive bladder (OAB) is a clinical diagnosis, detrusor overactivity is identified through urodynamic testing. UDS is usually considered when primary treatment for OAB fails, because UDS is expensive, time consuming, invasive, and sometimes inaccurate, and it is not considered to influence treatment strategy substantially.

Use of indwelling urinary catheters in nursing home residents: results from a cross-sectional study in 21 German nursing homes

BMC Urology
Background Indwelling urinary catheters often lead to complications such as symptomatic urinary tract infections. In nursing home residents, catheter prevalence is high, but prevalence differences by sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, and ...

Save the Bladder: Continent Urinary Diversion as Best Practice for Patients With Refractory Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction presents an obstinate clinical problem. For patients who fail nonsurgical measures, we advocate for bladder‐sparing, continent urinary diversion as the optimal approach to management.
