Researchers from Carnegie Mellon estimated that micromobility options like e-bikes can replace as much as 18% of short car trips and meaningfully reduce traffic congestion. Tell City Hall you want less traffic and more sustainability at ebikesf.org

Rigorous epi work by Dr. Marvin Langston @StanfordEpiNews investigating cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of lower extremity muscle function with LUTS in older men in BLSA @FriendsofNIA. Fun @CAIRIBU1 collaboration!
Read a unique contribution to the literature that looks at the association of muscle health and performance with lower urinary tract symptoms in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A doi.org/10.1093/gerona/glae0…

Awesome work by Alexis Adrian, PhD Candidate in @LabRicke @wiscobrien @UWMadison!! Exciting to see geroscience/aging biology pathways investigated in GU organs given the high burden of urologic symptoms in older adults! With help from @drteresaliu
Read how these authors begin the evaluation of the potential role played by one facet of biological aging - mitochondrial dysfunction - in benign prostatic hyperplasia and related fibrosis. doi.org/10.1093/gerona/glad2… #WCW2024

Our new study reveals a clear failure of clinical trials to represent the TRUE population of GU cancer pts. By not adequately including older adults, the efficacy and toxicity of many treatments appears falsely reassuring 👎🏻 read here ➡️ tinyurl.com/nhb3zj57

Urinary incontinence is a serious health concern that is increasing in prevalence across Europe. Up to 45% of Europeans experience incontinence, but it is a taboo subject that few are willing to speak about. This #WorldContinenceWeek help us spread awareness about incontinence!

In the final edition of EAUTV at #EAU24 our experts discuss Male LUTS. Moderator Prof. Jean-Nicolas Cornu, Prof. Marcus Drake and Prof. Thomas Herrmann cover the distinctions between prostate symptoms and LUTS, storing and voiding issues, and more. eaucongress.uroweb.org/eautv…

I changed my handle to @ScottBauerMD a couple years ago but appreciate the shoutout @geronsociety! Lots of interesting work across the #geriuro translational spectrum in this special issue guest edited by @george_kuchel
It's World Continence Week. Read an update on research that addresses the pathophysiology of voiding disorders of aging and urinary continence in the June issue of The Journals of Gerontology, Series A. doi.org/10.1093/gerona/glae1… #WCW2024 @george_kuchel @scottryanbauer

Thanks to Professor ⁦@MarcusDrakeUrol⁩ for pointing out what is essential : Male LUTS are more than prostate ! More than ever! thanks to enlarged views and growing knowledge ⁦@Uroweb⁩ ⁦@cgratzke⁩

Recurrent UTI is one of the most challenging outpatient urinary problems in older women, with many complexities in everyday diagnosis and management, frequent overlap with other genitourinary syndromes, and many gaps in knowledge--which cries out for more high-quality research.
Recurrent UTI pose unique management challenges in older women. Rather than testing and treating liberally, clinicians should focus on acute, localizing urinary symptoms, use clinical tests judiciously, and consider the risks of antibiotic overtreatment. ja.ma/4bcoUUV

As we note in @JAMAInternalMed, these RCT findings raise an intriguing question: even if D-mannose were highly efficacious, how much impact could it have on antibiotic overuse for UTI so long as other aspects of diagnosis and treatment are so problematic? tinyurl.com/3y9xznf8
Prophylaxis of recurrent UTI using daily D-mannose, a monosaccharide that may inhibit bacterial adherence to uroepithelial cells, did not reduce the proportion of women seeking health care for UTI over a 6 month period, finds RCT. ja.ma/3yE6xKI
