Vesicating chemicals like sulfur mustard (SM) or nitrogen mustard (NM) can cause devastating damage to the eyes, skin, and lungs. Eyes, being the most sensitive, have complicated pathologies that can manifest immediately after exposure (acute) and last for years (chronic). No FDA-approved drug is available to be used as medical counter measures (MCMs) against such injuries. Understanding the pathological mechanisms in acute and chronic response of the eye is essential for developing effective MCMs. Here, we report the clinical and histopathological characterization of a mouse model of NM-induced ocular surface injury (entire surface) developed by treating the eye with 2% ( w / v ) NM solution for 5 min...

This Commentary delves into the current progress and challenges on ongoing research on medical countermeasures (MCs) for chemical, biologic, radiologic, and nuclear (CBRN) threats. CBRN agents pose a serious risk to human health and safety, with the potential for mass casualties in both military and civilian settings. Chemical threats are toxic compounds that could be used in a terrorist attack, an accidental release, or chemical warfare. They include nerve agents, organophosphates, pulmonary agents, metabolic/cellular agents, vesicants, ocular toxicants, and opioid agents...

A 34-year-old man was admitted to the hospital presenting repeatedly urinary urgency for 3 years and yellow-green lithotripsy foreign body in urine for 1 month. Initially, he was diagnosed with a giant bladder calculi. After a cystoscopy exam and a lithotripsy for bladder calculi, Appendiceal vesical fistula was finally diagnosed and treated with a laparoscopic surgery. We report a rare case of appendiceal vesical fistula,first presenting as giant bladder calculi,and successfully treated with minimal invasive surgery We report this case and reviewed literature to improve the understanding of this disease and reduce misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis...

INTRODUCTION: The International Continence Society recommends zeroing of transducers to the atmospheric pressure for invasive urodynamics. The range of abdominal pressure relative to atmospheric pressure is well-known in adults but has not been described in children. This prospective observational study was carried out to establish baseline abdominal in children.

BACKGROUND: Neurofibromatosis type 1 is a neurocutaneous genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, resulting in the formation of benign tumors called neurofibromas. The most common type of tumor seen in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 is the slow-growing and benign neurofibroma, with a subtype called plexiform neurofibroma being particularly common and causing pain, functional impairment, and cosmetic disfigurement. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 20-year-old North African female patient with a history of neurofibromatosis type 1 who presented with a growing mass in her right gluteal region, which was later diagnosed as a giant cutaneous neurofibroma...

Fungal bezoars (fungal balls) are rarely reported in the upper or lower urinary tract. They can be the cause of severe morbidities such as urinary tract obstruction, renal failure and fungaemia. Hereby, we present a rare case of a male patient who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT), and during his postoperative period, he was diagnosed with bladder fungal bezoars adherent to his resection area. The fungal bezoars were covering an extended area of the right lateral bladder wall, including the right ureteric orifice and causing right urinary tract obstruction...

BACKGROUND: Pelvic lymph node dissection is a procedure performed in gastroenterological surgery, urology, and gynecology. However, due to discrepancies in the understanding of pelvic anatomy among these departments, cross-disciplinary discussions have not been easy. Recently, with the rapid spread of robotic surgery, the importance of visual information in understanding pelvic anatomy has become even more significant. In this project, we attempted to clarify a shared understanding of pelvic anatomy through cross-disciplinary discussions...

Bladder lithiasis is common in developing countries. It has become rare in industrialized countries and exceptional in the absence of associated lower tract pathology. usually caused by urinary tract infections, urethral obstruction or the presence of intravesical foreign bodies. Open cystolithotomy was performed on a 45-year-old patient with lower abdominal pain, moderate dysuria, pollakiuria, nocturia, and hematuria for a long time. A stone of 12 × 8cm in size and approximately 620 grams in weight was removed...

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound nanoparticles with different types of cargo released by cells and postulated to mediate functions such as intercellular communications. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) or their fragments are present as cargo within EVs. LncRNAs are a heterogeneous group of RNA species with a length exceeding 200 nucleotides with diverse functions in cells based on their localization. While lncRNAs are known for their important functions in cellular regulation, their presence and role in EVs have only recently been explored...

Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber (KTW) syndrome, a rare vascular disorder, often presents with cutaneous capillary malformations and soft tissue hypertrophy. However, urinary tract involvement in the form of vesical haemangiomas is a seldom-encountered clinical condition. We present a case of a 37-year-old male with KTW syndrome who exhibited recurrent gross haematuria, prompting clinical evaluation. Initial diagnostic assessments revealed erythematous changes in the bladder, consistent with haemangiomas. Despite an initial biopsy and diathermy, the patient's symptoms recurred, leading to a subsequent management strategy involving laser fulguration...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is crucial in the treatment of bladder tumors and when incorrectly performed can cause staging mistakes. To avoid these errors, a second resection is recommended in selected cases. The aim of this study is to evaluate the surgeon's ability to predict histologically complete primary resection of newly diagnosed bladder tumors avoiding the need for a second TURBT. METHODS: This is a prospective, observational study involving 47 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed bladder tumors who had previously undergone primary TURBT, and met EAU criteria for second-look TURBT...

INTRODUCTION: The improved image resolution of IMAGE1 S technology will increase tumor detection, achieve a greater number of complete resections, and would probably have an impact on the reduction of recurrences. AIM: The primary objective was to compare the recurrence rates of IMAGE1 S vs. white light during transurethral resection of the bladder (TUR); the secondary objective was to compare the complication rates according to Clavien-Dindo (CD) at 12 months of follow-up...

During the First World War, the territories that constituted the front line in North East Italy were the theaters of intense shelling. The military tactics of the time involved the use not only of conventional ammunition but also of special ammunition containing asphyxiating and blistering compounds. However, the technology of the time did not guarantee a high explosion rate, leaving a considerable quantity of unexploded material on the ground. Although more than 100 years have passed since the end of the Great War, it is still common to find unexploded ordnance in the areas that were the site of combat...

OBJECTIVE: The classic Okabayashi nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy involves complete resection of the posterior leaf of the vesicouterine ligament, whereas in the simplified nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy, only the vesical veins and some connective tissue of the posterior layer of the vesicouterine ligament are resected. This study aimed to compare bladder function and cervical carcinoma relapse-free survival between these two techniques. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, historical control study...
