Filter by:Prospective trial which includes instillation of intravesical hyaluronic acid in an attempt to reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections in patients after orthotopic neobladder reconstruction.
This study aims to determine whether a cranberry concentrate reduces recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in women who consume it. About 150 adult women will participate in this study. Subjects will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to take either cranberry capsule or a placebo for 12 months. We expect cranberry supplement to have better results than the placebo. Subjects will not know which supplement they are taking. The primary outcome is the number of UTIs over 12 months.
This study is aimed at demonstrating the efficacy of temocillin in the treatment of complicated Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) due to confirmed Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) producing or AmpC hyperproducing Enterobacteriaceae in the United Kingdom.
This is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of bedside volumetric bladder ultrasound prior to transurethral catheterization of pediatric patients presenting to an emergency department with suspected urinary tract infection. Ultrasound prior to catheterization allows Emergency Physicians to determine if the urine volume of the bladder is sufficient for successful catheterization. Advance knowledge of insufficient urine allows the Emergency Physician to defer the procedure until success is likely.
Girls with spina bifida also have bladder problems. This is because they need temporary placement of a tube into the bladder to remove urine. This thin flexible tube is called a catheter. It can increase the risk of having bacteria in the urine. This in turn can lead to urinary tract infection (UTI). Some girls with spina bifida are given antibiotics. These are medicines used to treat infections caused by bacteria. The medicine is used to prevent UTI. However, long-term treatment with these medicines can have side effects. For example, the bacteria may become resistant to the antibiotics. Also, bacteria in the urine can persist. UTI can still occur in patients on antibiotics. UTI in girls occurs because bacteria migrate from the rectum to the vagina area. This gives the bacteria access to the bladder. Also, in girls with spina bifida, the access to the bladder is easier because of the catheter. Probiotics are friendly bacteria. They are available as dietary supplements and as food. They contain helpful bacteria. Yogurt is an example of a food that contains probiotics. The purpose of this study is to find out, if probiotics taken for 6 months can prevent UTI in girls with spina bifida. We will also try to find out whether changes in urine bacteria are associated with the taking of the probiotics. A vaginal and rectal swab will also be done to find out if taking probiotics has any benefits on preventing bacteria.
