We explored glucometabolic and renal function after engraftment in all 159 consecutive patients with type 1 diabetes who received pancreas transplantation alone (PTA, n = 80) or simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK, n = 79) in Norway from 2012 until 2017. We report fasting levels of plasma glucose (FPG), C-peptide, eGFR and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity (HOMA2(%S)) and beta-cell function (HOMA2(%B)) measured one to three times weekly during the first 8...

Healthcare-associated urinary tract infections in urology
José Medina-Polo, Kurt Georg Naber & Truls Erik Bjerklund Johansen
The purpose of the present review is to report the incidence and characteristics of healthcare-associated urinary tract infections (HAUTIs) in urology with their microbiological and resistance patterns. Urinary tract infections are the main type of healthcare-associated infection in patients hospitalized in a urology ward. Patients admitted to urology departments report a high prevalence of urinary tract catheterization, up to 75% during the hospitalization period, and up to 20% had a urinary catheter before admission. An...
