Filter by:The study will help define the best tolerated approach to cystoscopy in women by randomly comparing flexible to rigid cystoscopy. Previous randomized studies evaluated rigid cystoscopy under general anesthesia versus flexible cystoscopy under local anesthesia. As a result of these studies, flexible cystoscopy is performed in the clinic setting generally in males. However, many women have rigid cystoscopy performed in the clinic while the men have flexible cystoscopy. No studies to date have evaluated whether flexible cystoscopy is better tolerated in women compared to rigid cystoscopy in women in the clinic setting.
The purpose of this study is to assess the microbiological cure rate of doripenem in the treatment of patients with complicated urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis. The study will also characterize the safety and tolerability of treatment with doripenem in patients with complicated urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two antibiotics in the treatment of complicated urinary tract infection or acute pyelonephritis (kidney infection). A 5-day course of 750 milligrams of levofloxacin given intravenously and/or by mouth once daily will be compared to a 10-day course of 400 milligrams of ciprofloxacin given intravenously and/or 500 milligrams of ciprofloxacin given by mouth twice daily.
The purpose of the study is to determine if the commercially available device called the DOVER™ Silver Foley catheter prevents infections of the urinary tract.
Randomized, prospective, multicenter study in order to assess the usefulness of antimicrobial prophylaxis in children with isolated vesico-ureteral reflux (grade III or less).
The primary objective is to study the efficacy of piperacillin/tazobactam in patients with complicated urinary tract infections
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very common problem in young healthy women, afflicting approximately one-half of women by their late 20s. One of the most common antibiotics used to treat UTIs is ciprofloxacin, usually for a total of three days. However, increasing resistance to this antibiotic has raised concerns about its overuse for cystitis and generated interest in alternative agents. An alternative antibiotic which is approved for use in UTIs is cefpodoxime. However, there are few studies evaluating the efficacy and tolerance of this compound when given in a 3-day regimen as is commonly used for treatment of UTI. The major purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerance of a 3-day regimen of cefpodoxime versus ciprofloxacin for treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis.
Urinary tract infections occurs in trauma. We investigate whether a nitrofurazone coated can reduce the number of urinary tract infections.
Several studies have shown the importance of Telephone follow-up in reducing hospital readmissions for heart failure. Therefore, we aimed in this cohort to investigate whether telephone follow-up with patients discharged from the general internal department improves patients' satisfaction, increases compliance to treatment and reduces adverse effects. Patients are recruited from the department of general internal medicine who gave informed consent and could communicate. Patients are interviewed by during hospital stay, one and three months later. This group will be compared with patients that are not interviewd by phone aftert hospital discharge.
The purpose of this study is to verify that the incidence rate of urinary tract infections after a routine outpatient cystoscopy is the same for non-sterile (clean) and sterile procedural techniques.
