Clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) is now considered the gold standard for management of urinary retention. In literature, several articles on patients' perspectives CISC and adherence to this technique have been published. No studies yet explored points view professional caregivers, such as nurses doctors. The aim study was explore opinions urologists about evaluate need dedicated specialized in through a self-administered questionnaire.A questionnaire developed caregivers...
Aims: Regeneration in skeletal muscle relies on regulated myoblast migration and differentiation, which the transcription factor nuclear of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5) participates. Impaired regeneration chronic inflammation are prevalent myositis. Little is known about impact NFAT5 localization expression this group diseases. The goal study was to investigate physiology unaffected myoblasts exposed cytokine or hyperosmolar stress Methods: intracellular were studied vitro using a cell...
This literature review provides a comprehensive overview of the development and application herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) vectors in gene therapy, with specific focus on functional urology. Gene therapy is becoming more clinical reality as products getting market-approval. The text highlights advantages viral vectors, especially HSV-1, delivering therapeutic genes due to their large cargo capacity, efficient growth tissue culture, tropism for neuronal cells. system crucial urology...
Objective: The impact of chronic inflammation on muscle cell regeneration in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) was assessed by studying nuclear factor activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5), an essential for myogenesis. Background: In virtually all cells, NFAT5 is responsive to stress stimuli, such as cytokines or osmotic stress, leading its translocation production organic osmolytes (e.g. taurine) TNF-α LTβ. DMD, lack dystrophin induces enhanced Ca2+ Na+...
Gender affirming surgery is common among transgender and gender-nonconforming individuals. Genital gender-affirming a form of that involves transformation reconstruction the genitalia while maintaining urologic sexual function. Masculinizing genital can involve removal female reproductive organs creation more masculine appearance by using phalloplasty or metoidioplasty techniques. While has advantages such as limited scarring preserved sensation clitoral erection, it may not always guarantee...
