Topic of the Month March: Urology
© Picture Disk
When it comes down to peeing, we all need to follow "nature's call" every once in a while. What, however, if urination is difficult, painful, or if one has trouble stopping the flow? Whatever it is, men and women may consult urologists about urinary tract problems. They are the specialists concerning diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the kidneys and the urinary passage.
This March, urology takes centre stage on MEDICA.de. We present the latest research trends and medical techniques dealing with this specific field.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine and Stanford University have captured time-lapse movies of a urinary tract infection (UTI) in progress, illuminating several new details of how the bacteria E. coli invade cells and gang up to overwhelm the cells' defences.
- Understanding Urinary Tract Infections

- Vaccine Shows Promise for Kidney Cancer
For the first time in North America, non-traditional methods of treating painful prostate and bladder diseases that will affect more than 50 percent of the adult population are being scientifically studied by a Queen's University-based research team working out of Kingston General Hospital (KGH).
- Study on Herbal Remedies for Urinary Diseases
A single 15-minute CT scan may be all it takes to find tiny cancers, stones and other problems in the kidneys, bladders and urinary tracts of high-risk patients – potentially saving them from many additional tests, and from delayed detection and treatment.
