The TreaT-Assay: A Novel Urine-Derived Donor Kidney Cell-Based Assay for Prediction of Kidney Transplantation Outcome [PDF]

, 2019
Donor-reactive immunity plays a major role in rejection after kidney transplantation, but analysis of donor-reactive T-cells is not applied routinely. However, it has been shown that this could help to identify patients at risk of acute rejection.

MULTIPLEX PCR BASED URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) ANALYSIS COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL URINE CULTURE IN IDENTIFYING SIGNIFICANT PATHOGENS IN SYMPTOMATIC PATIENTS.

Urology, 2019
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether multiplex PCR-based molecular testing is non-inferior to urine culture for detection of bacterial infections in symptomatic patients.

Conditional reflex to urine culture: Evaluation of a diagnostic stewardship intervention within the Veterans’ Affairs and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Practice-Based Research Network

Infection control and hospital epidemiology, 2020
Objective: In the absence of pyuria, positive urine cultures are unlikely to represent infection. Conditional urine reflex culture policies have the potential to limit unnecessary urine culturing.

Evaluation of Urine Procalcitonin, Interleukin-6, Heparin Binding Protein, Leukocyturia, and Bacteriuria for Early Detecting Urinary Tract Infection

Research Journal of Life Science, 2019
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a common infectious disease. Urine culture as a gold standard is less practical and time- consuming. Examination of urine dipstick and microscopic is less accurate.

Antibiotic prophylaxis during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the prevention of urinary tract infections in patients with sterile urine before the procedure [PDF]

, 2011
Introduction: There are controversies in the literature regarding the need and the duration of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), who had a negative urine culture before the operation.

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.

Predicting urine culture results in candidates for lithotripsy

Current Urology, 2023
. Background. Urological guidelines assert that “urine culture should be obtained” before surgical management of ureteral or kidney stones. Thus, many surgeries are delayed by 1–3 days until the results of urine culture are available.

Establishing an assay to evaluate d‐amino acid oxidase enzyme kinetics and inhibition using WST‐8 redox dye

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study investigated a novel WST‐8‐based assay for evaluating d‐Amino acid oxidase (DAO) inhibitors. We confirmed its effectiveness using known inhibitors and found that uremic toxins possess relatively weak inhibitory activity compared to existing drugs.
