Filter by:Vikor Scientific Urine-IDTM is a molecular analysis technology which provides pathogen detection, quantification, and resistance gene identification. Urine-IDTM delivers its results through the technology platform Antibiotic Stewardship program (ABXAssist™), which provides results incorporating regional sensitivity and susceptibility patterns, medication costs, antibiotic spectrum of activity, and FDA guidance. This product aims to deliver prompt, patient-centered and value-based guidance to clinicians for antibiotic selection within 24 hours of delivery to testing facility. Proposed advantages of Vikor Scientific Urine-IDTM include: - Expeditious result (within 24 hours post-lab arrival) - Simultaneous detection of polymicrobial and monomicrobial infections - Identification of 49 most common antibiotic resistance genes - Provision of up-to-date regional sensitivity and susceptibility patterns - Provision of cost-sensitive treatment options and FDA guidance - Easy accessibility (mobile, web-portal and electronic health records Integration) This utility of this technology has yet to be investigated in a clinical study and could prove to be a viable alternative or adjunctive diagnostic tool to standard laboratory culture. Standard laboratory culture can take up to 7 days to return pathogen identification and antibiotic susceptibility, potentially delaying appropriate care and prolonging exposure to inappropriate empiric antibiotics. Our study aims to analyze the ability Vikor Scientific Urine-IDTM to improve time to identification of correct pathogen and accuracy of pathogen identification when compared to standard laboratory culture.

Preoperative subclinical DVT screening in locally advanced bladder cancer patients candidate for radical cystectomy.
Bladder cancer (bladder cancer) is the tenth most common cancer in the world, ranking 13th in the number of deaths. There are about 549000 new cases of bladder cancer worldwide, with 200000 deaths and a higher incidence rate in men than in women. In 2013, the incidence rate of bladder cancer was high in China, accounting for 2.02% of all new cases. Bladder cancer has become a major disease threatening people's life and health. Therefore, the exploration of the mechanism of the occurrence and development of bladder cancer and effective drugs has been an important focus of bladder cancer research. The current treatment of bladder cancer is mainly TURBT (transurethral resection of bladder tumour) resection and BCG, chemotherapy adjuvant treatment, but its recurrence and metastasis still exist, so this study aims to explore an effective drug treatment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of propranolol in adjuvant BCG therapy, and whether propranolol can effectively alleviate the metastasis and recurrence of bladder cancer and improve the survival time after bladder cancer surgery.
This is a study to evaluate whether use of a pedometer following radical cystectomy decreases post-operative narcotic use and time to return of bowel function.
Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy involving theurinary system and the ninth most common malignancy worldwide .In Egypt, the urinary bladder cancer accounted for about 31% of the total incidence of cancers that subsequently decreased to 12% in the recent years .Transitional cell (Urothelial) carcinoma is the most common type of bladder cancer, about more than 90% all bladder cancers . Other pathological types are less common such as squamous cell carcinoma (observed in about 5% of bladder cancers), adenocarcinoma (observed in approximately 1% of bladder cancers) and small cell carcinoma. Urothelial carcinomas are divided clinically into superficial tumors and muscle invasive tumors. Grossly they may appear in various forms, most commonly papillary, but may also appear as a nodule or an irregular solid growth .Accurate prediction of progression is essential need in T1 bladder cancer (BCa) because the stakes are high for this disease. About one-third of patients never recur after initial treatment, one-third have cancer that recurs as non-muscle invasive BCa (NMIBC), and one-third progress to muscle-invasive BCa with significantly worse clinical outcome . Recurrence and progression rates for pT1 tumors are highly variable Accurate prediction of progression is essential need in T1 bladder cancer management. There is difficulty in predication of T1 progression due to intrinsic difficulty in assessing the presence and extent of invasion. Patient prognosis and management have been affected by the Identification of the muscularis mucosa (MM) by Dixon and Gosling in 1983 . Elderly patients with bladder cancer frequently have comorbid conditions that make conservative management preferable for early invasive urothelial carcinomas. Several studies have explored the utility of evaluating the spatial relationship of invasive tumor to the Muscularis mucosa for sub classification of pT1 urothelial carcinomas . Muscularis mucosa consists of thin and wavy fascicles of smooth muscle frequently associated with large, thin-walled blood vessels in the submucosa of the bladder wall . It can be identified in 15-83% of biopsy specimens . T1 bladder staging has been changing and led to its classification into two groups: T1a (minimally invasive) tumors (i.e., tumors that extend into the lamina propria but are located above the level of the MM), and T1b (invasive) tumors (i.e., tumors that invade beyond the MM). Treatments for T1 bladder cancers are grouped into three categories. First, the tumour can be resected (TURBT) at the initial or restaging setting, which can be performed with white or blue-light cystoscopy. The second approach involves intravesical BCG administration with multiple years of maintenance therapy. Finally, aggressive or high risk T1 bladder cancers can be managed by radical cystectomy at 'early' or 'delayed' time points relative to diagnosis .
The study aims to study alterations of MTDH gene expression in the serum of bladder cancer patients compared to control group to evaluate its role as a marker for diagnosis. ,to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MTDH with the previously used marker Bladder Cancer-Specific Antigen-1 (BLCA-1 in the serum of bladder cancer patients . and to study correlation between expression of the metadherin gene and serum level of BLCA-1, and clinical and histopathological staging in patients with bladder cancer
The aim of our study is to evaluate the benefit of NAC in T1b NMIBC .
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility and efficacy of a 12-week, home-based exercise program in bladder cancer patients undergoing curative intent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and RC.
Postoperative ileus (POI) is defined as a transient reduction of bowel motility that prevents effective transit of bowel content and tolerance of oral intake following surgical interventions, especially after radical cystectomy. It remains a major factor associated with postoperative morbidity, length of hospital stay and medical costs. In order to optimize perioperative care for patients undergoing radical cystectomy in a context of an ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) program, we will evaluate the effectiveness of systemic pharmacologic opioid antagonist treatment.
