Infections following transurethral surgical procedures remain a notable concern in urological practice. Whether performing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT), or other interventions, stringent infection control protocols are imperative. Proper implementation of these measures ensures patient safety, reduces hospital-acquired infections, and minimizes postoperative morbidity. Understanding Infection Risk in Transurethral

Spinal anesthesia is a widely employed technique in modern surgical practice, particularly for lower abdominal, pelvic, and lower extremity procedures. However, hypotension during spinal anesthesia remains a common and clinically significant complication, particularly in obstetric anesthesia. Effective prevention of hypotension during spinal anesthesia is essential to ensure patient safety, improve surgical outcomes, and reduce perioperative

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a significant public health concern worldwide. Despite advancements in treatment and prevention, exposure incidents—whether occupational or non-occupational—still occur. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a vital intervention to prevent HIV infection when administered promptly and correctly. This guide outlines a comprehensive approach to preventing HIV after potential exposure, emphasizing rapid action, adherence

Head and neck cancers linked to human papillomavirus (HPV), particularly oropharyngeal cancers, have risen significantly over the past two decades. While tobacco and alcohol have historically been dominant risk factors, HPV—specifically HPV-16—has become the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancer in several regions, including North America and Europe. Preventing these cancers requires a comprehensive strategy, including

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis and a significant cause of morbidity among patients receiving long-term corticosteroid therapy. Effective prevention and management of GIOP are essential for reducing fracture risk and preserving bone health. We present current clinical guidelines, pharmacological strategies, and lifestyle interventions aimed at mitigating glucocorticoid-related bone loss.

Fetal neural tube defects (NTDs) are serious congenital malformations that arise during early embryonic development, commonly manifesting as spina bifida or anencephaly. Preventive strategies play a critical role in reducing their incidence, with proper maternal nutrition, targeted supplementation, and preconception care forming the foundation of effective prevention. We explore evidence-based recommendations and physiological considerations to

Disseminated candidiasis, a severe and potentially life-threatening systemic fungal infection caused primarily by Candida albicans and other non-albicans species, presents a significant challenge in hospitalized and immunocompromised individuals. Effective prevention relies on an integrated approach encompassing timely identification of at-risk populations, judicious use of antifungal prophylaxis, immune function optimization, and stringent infection control protocols.
