Prospective collection of pre-defined parameters of AUS Surgery for Female Stress Urinary Incontinence due to Intrinsic Sphincter Deficiency
The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.
The proposed study is designed to provide patients previously enrolled in Phase 1 and 2 studies of DCR-PHXC and their siblings (<18 years old) long-term access to DCR-PHXC, and to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of DCR-PHXC in patients with PH.
Urinary tract obstruction is a serious health problem due to kidney damage. Relative renal function has an important role in the treatment of obstructed kidneys. Nephrectomy can be recommended when the relative renal function is 10% or less in radionuclide examinations. Recently, however, nephron sparing approaches have come to the fore. This indicated the need to evaluate the possibility of recovering the function of the kidney before nephrectomy. The aim of this study is to compare relative functions of obstructed kidneys in technetium 99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy (DMSA) before and 2 weeks after nephrostomy tube.
The investigators propose a pilot clinical trial on the use of perioperative pregabalin in order to decrease ureteral stent related symptoms and decrease opioid usage after ureteroscopy with stent placement. Patients undergoing ureteroscopy with stent placement will receive a single dose of 300 mg pregabalin PO in the preoperative area. This work will assess safety and feasibility of studying this regimen at our institution, with the aim of performing a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study in the future.
To determine the safety and efficacy of Amniotic and Umbilical Cord Tissue for the treatment of the following condition categories: Orthopedic, Neurologic, Urologic, Autoimmune, Renal, Cardiac and Pulmonary Conditions. The hypotheses are that the treatments are not only extremely safe, but also statistically beneficial for all conditions. Outcomes will be determined by numerous valid outcome instruments that compile general quality of life information along with condition-specific information as well.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCR-PHXC in Children and Adults with Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) and Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 2 (PH2)
The Connected Catheter is a fully internal, urethral indwelling urinary prosthesis designed for improved bladder management in males with urinary retention disorders requiring catheterization. It is a sterile, extended-use device that resides fully internally to the male lower urinary tract for an intended use life of up to 7 days per catheter.
Obesity is not a homogeneous condition and that the regional distribution of adipose tissue is important to understanding the relation of obesity to disturbances in glucose and lipid metabolism. Central abdominal fat is composed of abdominal subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. Regional distribution appears to be an important indicator for metabolic alterations since an inconstant correlation between body mass index (BMI) and these disturbances have been found. Visceral obesity is associated with increased adipocytokine production, proinflammatory activity, deterioration of insulin sensitivity, increased risk of developing diabetes, "high-triglyceride/low-HDL cholesterol dyslipidemia," hypertension and atherosclerosis. It might be more precise to divide central abdominal fat into subcutaneous(S) and visceral (V) fat surface area and volume and even ratio (S/V); risk factors for cardiovascular disease, particularly those related to glucose and lipid metabolism and hypertension, being>0.4; with evaluation of visceral fat functionality by visceral adiposity index (VAI) with integration with lipid profile. Adding bladder wall thickness with perivesical fat as a factor may impair bladder function and contribute to dysregulation. The data on the association between central adiposity with OAB symptoms and Urodynamics is not mature.
