URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS

This early-stage study tested a new oral drug, GSK3882347, for treating uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) in adult women. It compared the new drug's safety and ability to clear the infection to a standard antibiotic, nitrofurantoin. The main goal was to see if the new…

This study looked at whether removing small, non-blocking kidney stones helps reduce repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Patients with recurrent UTIs and these 'silent' stones chose with their doctor to either have the stones removed or to simply monitor them. Researchers t…

This study tested whether treating gum disease could help men with chronic prostate inflammation or repeated urinary tract infections. Researchers divided 60 men with both gum disease and these urinary conditions into groups that received different levels of dental care. They mea…

This study compared two intravenous antibiotics for treating serious urinary tract infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria. It tested whether temocillin works as well as carbapenems, which are currently used but can contribute to antibiotic resistance. The trial involved 29 …

This study tested four different antibiotic plans to treat simple bladder infections in adult women. It compared taking medicine for 2, 3, or 5 days against a single one-time dose. The goal was to see which plan worked best to clear up symptoms and get rid of the bacteria causing…

This study tested an oral antibiotic called gepotidacin to see how quickly it could improve symptoms and how safe it was for women with uncomplicated bladder infections (acute cystitis). The trial involved 97 female participants aged 12 and older who had recent UTI symptoms. Rese…

This study looked at whether tracking changes in two simple urine test results—white blood cells and nitrites—in the days before a common kidney stone surgery could help predict which patients are at higher risk for developing a fever or serious bloodstream infection afterward. R…

This study tested whether a daily supplement made from cow's colostrum (the first milk) could help prevent recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs) in children. Sixty children with a history of frequent UTIs were randomly assigned to take either the colostrum supplement or a pla…

This study tested whether a non-prescription vaginal care system could help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in menopausal women. Researchers wanted to see if improving the health of the vaginal environment could reduce UTI frequency over six months. The study in…

This study observed 100 women who chose to receive a fractional carbon dioxide laser treatment for various vaginal and urinary symptoms. The goal was to see if the laser improved issues like vaginal dryness, pain during sex, urinary incontinence, and frequent infections. Research…

This study aims to understand why vaginal estrogen therapy prevents recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in only about half of the postmenopausal women who use it. Researchers will examine how the treatment changes the bacteria and immune responses in the vagina and bladder …

This study aimed to see if following a vegetarian diet is linked to developing fewer chronic diseases over time. Researchers followed over 18,000 Taiwanese Buddhists, comparing health outcomes between vegetarians and non-vegetarians. They tracked participants' health records for …

This study looked at whether patients with kidney stones need to wait for a second urine test to show no infection before having surgery. Researchers followed 147 patients who had surgery after taking antibiotics for a urine infection. They checked if repeat urine tests after ant…
