    Abstract Palliative care in the field of urology has largely been limited to adult oncologic conditions. Although there is a plethora of established literature suggesting the advantageous impact of palliative care, there is limited integration of palliative care in adult urology. This underutilization is further exacerbated in pediatric urology, and palliative care in pediatric urology remains an underexplored area despite the prevalence of several life-limiting conditions in this patient population. This paper highlights the potential need for palliative care intervention in a variety of urologic conditions in the pediatric population, including congenital lower urinary tract obstruction, neurogenic bladder dysfunction, exstrophy-epispadias complex, and congenital bilateral renal agenesis. Each condition poses unique challenges that can be addressed with the inclusion of a palliative care team, including decision-making spanning prenatal-neonatal-pediatric periods, acute and chronic symptom management, family relations, body image issues, risk of recurrent hospitalizations and surgeries, and potentially fatal complications. Alongside standard urologic interventions, palliative care can serve as an additional means of addressing physical and psychosocial symptoms experienced by pediatric urology patients to enhance the quality of life of patients and their families.

  2. Article: When to address form and when to address function: Timing of surgical reconstruction for a patient with 46 XY DSD.

    Abstract Differences of sexual development (DSD) refers to congenital conditions characterized by discordant appearances of external genitalia with respect to sex chromosomes. We present a case of a 46 XY DSD adolescent with bilateral undescended testes and severe scrotolabial anomalies who was lost to follow-up for several years who recently presented with "recurrent UTIs." Although the patient desired immediate reconstruction to void while standing, shared-decision making was used to first address his bilateral cryptorchidism, with plans to delay other reconstruction until the patient is older. Pediatric patients with DSD have complicated medical and surgical problems and require a collaborative multidisciplinary team.

    Abstract In recent years, digital transformation is seen as a mandatory and urgent requirement in the process of modernizing countries. The effectiveness of the digital transformation process in the field of public management directly affects the social life and operations of businesses. This study aims to paint an overall picture of the healthcare digital transformation of a rapidly growing region, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), through a bounded rational multi-criteria assessment method. The novel proposed method is developed in light of the psychological behavior theories and the strengths of multi-criteria decision-making methods, which are based on distance computation and statistical parameters. Therefore, it can not only determine the weight of the criteria objectively through distance correlations, but also deeply describe the subjective psychology of the decision maker. In addition to theoretical contributions with a novel approach, the findings in the benchmarking process reveal important indicators and practical lessons from the digital transformation successes in ASEAN.

    Abstract Introduction: Although high-risk work environments and heavy workload expose medical professionals to long-term risks of disease, no comprehensive analysis has been conducted on the corresponding risks of diseases to each type of medical professionals. This study pre-analyzed the risks of medical professionals in developing various systemic diseases in Taiwan to provide a comprehensive examination of the differences between each type of systemic disease.
    Methods: From the secondary databases of 2002-2013, 15,407 medical professionals were selected for analysis. A chi-squared test and logistic regression were performed to identify the relationship between types of medical professionals and systemic diseases. The life trajectories of diagnosis sequence of the medical professionals were illustrated accordingly.
    Results: The physicians were the most vulnerable to infectious, parasitic, and digestive diseases. This was possibly associated with their work characteristics and occupational risks.
    Conclusion: According to the life trajectories, all types of the medical professionals exhibited a similar trend in the orders of risks to each type of systemic disease, which suggests that their work environment exposes them to real risks of health hazard.

    Abstract Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of long-term disability globally. Intervertebral disk degeneration (IVDD) is mainly responsible for discogenic pain in LBP-affected young patients. There is no effective therapy to reverse disease severity and IVDD progression. This study investigates the effect of human peripheral blood-derived mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on pain relief and life quality improvement in IVDD patients. The enriched monocytes of the PBMCs could differentiate into CD14 and CD206 double-positive M2 macrophages

    Abstract Reflux nephropathy is thought to be the etiology for renal maldevelopment. We present two boys with fetal hydronephrosis and sterile vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). There was lack of renal growth of the refluxing renal units on surveillance renal ultrasound. Parents elected to undergo open ureteral reimplants. Post-surgical ultrasounds demonstrated improved renal growth.
