The work situation of the routine nursing management model from December 2022 to March 2023 was included into the control group, while the nursing management work that applied a variety of new nursing concepts from April 2023 to June 2023 was included in the observation group. The two groups randomly selected 400 medical devices each as research objects to compare the medical devices under the two nursing management models. To deal with the qualifications, at the same time, a self-made questionnaire was issued to the 18 staff members involved during the study to compare the nursing management quality scores of the two groups. Results: The timely rate of recovery and distribution of medical devices, the qualified rate of cleaning, the qualified rate of disinfection and sterilization, the qualified rate of packaging, and the nursing management quality score of the observation group were all higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of new nursing concepts can help disinfection supply centers to further improve the disinfection and sterilization qualification rate of medical devices, and promote the improvement of the overall nursing management quality level, which is worthy of promotion.","PeriodicalId":92866,"journal":{"name":"American journal of urology research","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135219039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A quality control circle was established, focusing on the existing common problems of continuous bladder irrigation. The methods include implementing appropriate measures and other steps, and comparing the incidences of bladder spasms and urinary catheter obstruction, patient satisfaction, nurses’ awareness of relevant knowledge, nurses’ operational satisfaction, number of liquid pours (6000ml per flush), and number of open exposures before and after the activity. Results: Through this quality control circle activity, the incidence of bladder spasms in patients dropped from 42% to 14.3%; the incidence of urinary catheter obstruction dropped from 36% to 12.2%; patient satisfaction increased from 82% to 95.9%; nurses’ knowledge awareness rate increased from 74.2% to 96.8%; nurses’ operational satisfaction increased from 80.6% to 96.8%; the above differences are statistically significant (P < 0.05). Moreover, the number of flushing liquid pours reduced from 5 times to 1 time, and the number of open exposures reduced from 5 times to 0 times. Circle members have improved their application of quality control circle methods, team spirit, and professional knowledge.

Methods: Bladder cancer patients who underwent bladder cancer resection in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2022 were selected as research subjects. According to the computer grouping method, 60 patients were divided into Group A (pirarubicin) and Group B (gemcitabine), and the therapeutic effects of the two groups of patients were compared. Results: The statistical significance of the tumor markers and related factor levels of patients in Group A and Group B before treatment was not established (P > 0.05). The levels of tumor markers and related factors of patients in Group B after treatment were lower than those of Group A (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the quality of life scores of patients in Group A and Group B before treatment (P > 0.05). After treatment, the quality of life scores of patients in Group B was higher than those in Group A (P < 0.05). The incidence rates of dysuria, hematuria, cystitis, and rash in Group B patients were less than those in group A (P < 0.05). The recurrence rate of patients in Group B was higher than in group A (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Both gemcitabine and pirarubicin are commonly used chemotherapy drugs after electroresection for bladder cancer.

Only 30 cases have been reported globally. Clinical case: A 79-year-old male patient was presented to our Urology Department due to macroscopic hematuria that persisted for six months. As part of his diagnostic protocol, a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis with elimination phase was performed, finding a filling defect of 12 mm at the level of the posterior wall of the bladder. A cystoscopy was subsequently performed, confirming the presence of a 1.5 cm bladder tumor, which was resected in its entirety. Pathology analysis with hematoxylin and eosin stain revealed a composition of mononuclear cells and osteoclast-like giant cells. Immunohistochemistry was positive for epithelial markers cytokeratins AE1/AE3, EMA, P53, and CD68. Conclusion: Osteoclast-like giant cell bladder carcinomas are extremely unusual and aggressive. The only diagnostic method is through immunohistochemistry, confirming the presence of epithelial markers for urothelium in the neoplastic cells.

Even though the described survival rate is greater than 90%, we found that it only reaches 70% among our patients. Therefore, we aim to evaluate which are the factors associated with these unfavorable results, in order to implement measures to improve the survival of our patients. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in two high-level care centers, which included a sample of 84 patients under 15 years of age, diagnosed with Wilms tumor. Results: Factors significantly associated with an increased likelihood of death were failure to complete the chemotherapy protocol (odds ratio [OR] = 34; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.7–312; P = 0.000) and tumor recurrence (OR = 35.7; 95% CI = 6.9–184; P = 0.000). Other minor factors with certain impact were bilateral presentation (OR = 4.1; 95% CI = 0.6–5.5; P = 0.147), surgical complications (OR = 3.2; 95% CI = 0.7–14.6; P = 0.136), lymph node involvement on CT scan (OR 2.4; 95% CI 0.7–8.4; P = 0.139), and distant metastases (OR = 2.5; 95%CI = 0.7–9; P = 0.143).

Dysuria is one of the most common symptoms and often appears at an early stage. In this study, we investigated cases of children with tethered spinal cord syndrome who were presented to the urology department with daytime urinary incontinence. Subjects and methods: Eighteen children with tethered spinal cord syndrome were diagnosed between March 2011 and October 2017 after a visit to the urology department with daytime urinary incontinence as the main complaint. The reasons for the diagnosis of tethered spinal cord syndrome and the changes in clinical symptoms before and after laminectomy were investigated. Results: Nine boys and nine girls were selected as the study subject. The mean age at the first examination was 6.3 years (range 4–9 years). All patients underwent urodynamics and voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) for refractory daytime urinary incontinence. Spinal MRI was performed in all patients to investigate abnormal findings on VCUG and urodynamics. Only four patients had indications of tethered spinal cord syndrome on MRI. Eight patients had lipoma of the filum terminale, four patients had potential tethered spinal cord syndrome, four patients had low-lying conus, one patient with conus lipoma, and one patient had intrasacral meningeal cyst. The mean follow-up after laminectomy was 66.3 (22–116) months, 11 patients were asymptomatic, 4 patients had residual nocturia only, and 3 patients were managed with intermittent voiding. Conclusion: It is necessary to treat patients with daytime urinary incontinence is one of the symptoms of the tethered spinal cord syndrome. Bladder function assessed by urodynamics may provide a diagnostic sign for spinal cord compression.","PeriodicalId":92866,"journal":{"name":"American journal of urology research","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78919649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
