Filter by:Urinary infections are at the origin of many emergency department consultations and antibiotic prescriptions. Increase of bacteria resistance to antibiotics is promoted by an inappropriate use of those antibiotics but initial prescription in emergency departments is complicated by brief clinical examinations, unavailable sampling results and risks of multi-resistant bacteria. Large diffusion of new recommendations for urinary infection management should improve the quality of initial antibiotic prescription. However emergency physicians have no knowledge of the reassessment of antibiotherapy 48 to 72 hours after initial prescription by general practitioners which is a quality criterion of good antibiotic use. The main purpose of this study is to estimate the reassessment rate by general practitioners of the urinary infection antibiotherapies prescribed in emergency departments. This will allow assessing the quality of initial antibiotic prescription and help to improve practices.
The risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) following female incontinence surgery ranges between 6-48%. The literature has shown mixed results of the therapeutic efficacy of cranberry extract to prevent UTI in females, with some promising preliminary work in the prevention of UTI's following gynecologic surgery. The researchers will conduct a study of the effect of cranberry extracts on preventing urinary tract infections following mid urethral slings, which are the most common urinary incontinence procedures.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of cefepime/VNRX-5133 compared with meropenem in both eradication of bacteria and in symptomatic response in patients with cUTIs.
The objective of this study is to perform a randomized study, comparing the outcomes of the above two types of cystoscopy in terms of discomfort experienced by the patient, while undergoing the procedure.
Urinary tract infections affect more than 130 million people worldwide each year. Almost 50% of women will have at least one urinary tract infection during their lifetime, usually cystitis. Half of them will have recurrent cystitis. Antibiotics are the first-line treatment for cystitis, but their effectiveness is decreasing due to the rapid spread of multi-resistant uro-pathogenic bacteria. The objective of this study is to identify blood biomarkers associated with a high risk of recurrent cystitis. Immune system cells, and more specifically innate immunity cells, play a key role in controlling urinary tract infections. In addition, clinical studies have shown that there is a high inter-individual variability in the ability of innate immune cells to respond to different stimuli. We therefore hypothesized that there was an association between the risk of recurrent cystitis and a deficiency of certain immune cell types in producing certain pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, in response to one or more bacterial stimuli, particularly flagellin.
This study is randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial to access oral Methenamine Hippurate (MH) in combination with cranberry capsules is superior to cranberry capsules alone in prevention of UTI in patients with transient post-operative urinary retention requiring a Foley catheter after pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common serious bacterial infection among infants. Suprapubic aspiration and bladder catheterization are considered as the gold standard by the American Academy of Pediatrics for the diagnosis, yet it is painful and invasive. In contrast, the bladder stimulation technique has been shown to be a quick and non-invasive approach to collect urine in young infants. Actually, the investigators don't have data on bacterial contamination rates for clean-catch midstream urine collections using this technique
The aim of this review is to address clinical reliability, efficacy and safety of long-term treatment with oral D Mannose for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) in females.
The key purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide (TBPM-PI-HBr) compared to intravenous (IV) ertapenem, in participants with complicated Urinary Tract Infection (cUTI) or Acute Pyelonephritis (AP).
To investigate the relationship between neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte count ratio (NLR), and postoperative fever in patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).
