Medical Advice on Frequent Urinary Tract Infections
“As many as 4 in 10 women who get a UTI will get at least one more within six months,” says Dr. Omotola Ashorobi, urologist at Ochsner Health.
Review: No proof that indwelling catheters cause more UTIs than intermittent catheterization
The evidence does not support the common belief that indwelling catheters cause more urinary tract infections (UTIs) than intermittent catheterization, according to a systematic review of bladder management and infection risk from UTHealth Houston.
New study explains link between diabetes and UTIs
Lower immunity and recurring infections are common in type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
New drug candidate fights off more than 300 drug-resistant bacteria
Urinary tract infections are common, yet can be tough to treat as the bacteria that cause them become resistant to many antibiotics. In ACS Central Science, researchers report a new molecule that inhibits drug-resistant bacteria in lab experiments, as well as in mice with pneumonia and UTIs.
New Tests That Could Solve Persistent Challenges in Children’s Healthcare Presented at the 2022 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting
A first-of-its-kind test could make it easier for newborns to get care for spinal muscular atrophy, a common genetic disease that is life-threatening but treatable if caught in time. Findings on this method and a second innovative test that could improve diagnosis of pediatric urinary tract infections (UTIs) will be discussed today at the 2022 AACC Annual Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo.
Recurrent UTIs linked to gut microbiome, chronic inflammation
A study by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard suggests that women who get recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) may be caught in a vicious cycle in which antibiotics given to eradicate one infection predispose them to develop another.
Women voice frustration over current care for recurrent urinary tract infections
Women with frequent urinary tract infections say they’re unhappy with what they perceive as their doctors’ overuse of antibiotics and with the limited treatment options available to them, according to a study led by researchers from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai.
During pandemic, potentially avoidable hospitalizations for non-COVID conditions fell more among whites
New research suggests that the COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated existing racial health care disparities and that during the pandemic, African Americans may have had worse access than whites to outpatient care that could have helped prevent deterioration of their non–COVID-19 health conditions
Goodbye UTIs: Duke scientists develop vaccine strategy for urinary tract infections
Duke researchers describe a new vaccination strategy that they think could re-program the body to fight off the bacteria that cause urinary tract infections.
Targeting iron uptake to create a new class of antibiotics against UTIs
Researchers report early progress toward developing a new class of antibiotics against urinary tract infections that would starve the causative bacteria of iron. They present their results today at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 Virtual Meeting & Expo.
