Novel biogenic selenium nanoparticle coatings prevent Candidozyma auris biofilm formation on urinary catheters

open access: yesDiscover Applied Sciences
Candidozyma (formerly Candida) auris (C. auris) is an emerging multidrug-resistant fungal pathogen capable of forming persistent biofilms on indwelling medical devices, particularly urinary catheters.

Crystalline bacterial biofilm formation on urinary catheters by urease producing urinary tract pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The aim of this study was to compare the abilities of various urease-positive species to encrust and block catheters with crystalline biofllm. Experiments were performed in laboratory models of the catheterised bladder infected with a range of urease ...

Selective Motor Stimulation of the Pudendal Nerve Using Multi‐Contact Cuff Electrodes: A Pre‐Clinical Study in Feline and Ovine Models

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pudendal nerve stimulation is a promising therapy for urinary incontinence, however stimulation can evoke off‐target activity. We aimed to determine whether multi‐contact cuff electrodes can selectively recruit motor fibers of the pudendal nerve trunk in preclinical feline and ovine models.

The Interpretability of the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To define mild, moderate and severe symptom categories of the neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS) and NBSS‐short form (SF), and to calculate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the NBSS‐SF. Methods We used existing datasets from the original NBSS validation study (n = 230 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI ...

Which catheter? Criteria for selection of urinary catheters for children

open access: yes, 2003
Health professionals should be able to justify their clinical decisions by referring to up-to-date research: in the climate of today's health care, practice that is based purely on custom cannot be condoned (Bergman 1999).

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

Impact of Institutional Protocol on Urinary Catheter Outcome Measures in Orthopedic Children Treated With Epidural Analgesia

open access: yesPediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epidural analgesia is commonly used for pain control after major lower‐limb orthopedic surgery in children, but it is associated with a risk of postoperative urinary retention. Consequently, urinary catheters are often placed and left in situ for the full duration of epidural analgesia, despite the potential risks of prolonged ...

Investigation of the Mechanism of Cinnamaldehyde in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Based via Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Animal Experiments

open access: yesPediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Through network pharmacology and molecular docking, it has been discovered that CA can target MAOB, among other proteins, to exert a therapeutic effect in IBS. In vivo, CA lowered visceral hypersensitivity, anxiety and depression‐like behaviors, and fecal water content, highlighting its therapeutic potential for IBS via anti‐inflammatory pathways ...
