New test could help catch serious infections in babies
A simple blood test may help detect serious bacterial infections (SBIs) like urinary tract infections and blood stream infections in young infants who come to the emergency department (ED) with fevers that have no clear cause. view more (2008-10-06)
Avian influenza virus in mammals spreads beyond the site of infection to other organ systems
Researchers at Erasmus Medical Center have demonstrated systemic spread of avian influenza virus in cats infected by respiratory, digestive, and cat-to-cat contact. view more (2006-01-16)
An Antimicrobial Solution For Blocked Urinary Catheters? (p 1435)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET propose a new method for inflating urinary catheters-which could avoid common problems of encrustration and blockage of the catheter. Urinary catheters are usually inflated with water, but this often results in bacterial build-up leading to catheter encrustration and blockage. David... view more... (2003-04-23)
Compounds in cranberry juice show promise as alternatives to antibiotics
Compounds in cranberry juice have the ability to change E. coli bacteria, a class of microorganisms responsible for a host of human illnesses (everything from kidney infections to gastroenteritis to tooth decay), in ways that render them unable to initiate an infection. view more (2006-09-11)
Blood test could avoid inappropriate use of antibiotics for respiratory infections (pp 600)
A rapid blood test to help distinguish between bacterial and other (predominantly viral) infections could substantially reduce the inappropriate use of antibiotics for common infections, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Lower respiratory tract infections are often treated with antibiotics-even though there is often... view more... (2004-02-18)
One fourth of older patients receive catheters for no reason
A study of 1,586 hospitalized patients age 70 and older at two Ohio hospitals indicates that 24 percent were given medically unnecessary urinary catheters. view more (2006-05-23)
Tadalafil shows promise for relief of lower urinary tract symptoms associated with BPH
Men with signs of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) can be helped with a daily dose of erectile dysfunction drug tadalafil (Cialis®) to relieve associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), according to a new study published in the October 2008 issue of The Journal of Urology. view more (2008-08-19)
Researchers develop novel mouse model to witness immune system attack on chlamydia
Using a novel mouse model that allows scientists to study how the immune system's fighter cells respond to invaders in the genital tract during the initial stage of infection, Harvard Medical School (HMS) researchers have found a way to track immunity against Chlamydia trachomatis. view more (2006-07-25)
Different method of evaluating the urinary tract system reduces radiation dose
The split-bolus (cross sectional imaging) MDCT urography technique reduces both radiation dose and number of images produced, according to a recent study conducted by radiologists from Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, CA and VA Palo Alto Health Care System in Palo Alto, CA. view more (2007-08-29)
Which segments of the gastrointestinal tract does Salmonella enteritidis penetrate?
Incidence of Salmonella enteritidis infection is common in hospitals for children, the elderly, and immuno-suppressed individuals. A paper in the December 28, 2007 of the World Journal of Gastroenterology (volume 5, issue 48) is notable because of its potential significance for Salmonella enteritidis therapy in the future. view more (2008-01-17)
Severe form of 'enlarged prostate' disease discovered
Millions of middle-aged and older men experience the symptoms of an enlarged prostate multiple times during the day and night. What they may not know is that the disease known as BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia), marked by urgency and frequent urination, is not one but at least a pair of disorders, and that one of the pair-tied to a newly... view more...

Many urinary stones can be treated without surgery
For many patients with urinary stone disease, treatment with a calcium-channel blocker or an alpha blocker can greatly improve their likelihood of passing their urinary stones, which may help these patients avoid surgery. view more (2006-10-02)
Removal of uterus increases risk of urinary incontinence
Researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have shown that hysterectomy - a common operation involving the removal of the uterus - greatly increases the risk of urinary incontinence. view more (2007-10-29)
Catheter chaos: Hospitals lag in preventing common infection
One in four Americans in the hospital right now has a urinary catheter. One percent of them will get a urinary tract infection from that catheter. All of those will require antibiotics. A few may suffer life-threatening complications. view more (2008-01-03)
Common Cold No More Frequent In People With Asthma - But Symptoms Are More Severe (p 831)
People with asthma are not at an increased risk of having a common cold, but are more likely to develop more severe respiratory symptoms if infected with the cold virus, conclude authors of a UK study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Rhinoviruses are the most frequent cause of the common cold. It has long been thought that people with asthma... view more... (2002-03-06)
Treatments for urinary infections leave bacteria bald, happy and vulnerable
A different approach to treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) could defeat the bacteria that cause the infections without directly killing them, a strategy that could help slow the growth of antibiotic-resistant infections. view more (2006-12-21)
Tadalafil may effectively treat symptoms of BPH-LUTS in addition to erectile dysfunction
Tadalafil may improve lower urinary tract symptoms in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Researchers from Nashville, Dallas, San Antonia and Indianapolis will present these findings during the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA). view more (2009-04-27)
Bacteria that cause urinary tract infections invade bladder cells
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found definitive proof that some of the bacteria that plague women with urinary tract infections (UTIs) are entrenched inside human bladder cells. view more (2007-12-18)
