“What Medical Management Should Be First Line for Bladder Storage Symptoms in NLUTD”—Pro Botox

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) severely impairs patient quality of life (QoL). While oral medications are often first‐line treatments, their high failure rates and side effects limit their effectiveness. Thus, we argue for the use of intravesical botulinum toxin A (BoNT‐A) injections as a first‐line alternative ...

Cancer-associated fibroblast suppresses killing activity of natural killer cells through downregulation of poliovirus receptor (PVR/CD155), a ligand of activating NK receptor

International Journal of Oncology, 2016
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in cancer expansion and progression in tumor microenvironment (TME), via both direct and indirect interactions. Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in anticancer immunity.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting Urinary Tract Infection After Urodynamic Study

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The use of antibiotic prophylaxis before urodynamic studies has been debated for a long time, with no clear consensus among international guidelines. Based on identified predictors of urinary tract infection after urodynamic studies, this study aims to develop and internally validate a nomogram to predict post‐urodynamic study ...
