The use of hormone therapy in postmenopause was associated with an increase in the risk of urinary incontinence, but is this association valid also for oral hormone contraceptives in younger women? Using the data from the Nurses' Health Study, involving about 22,000 women between 37 and 54, with no urinary incontinence in 2001, 749 women have been identified, who, during the period 2001-2003, have presented at least one episode of weekly incontinence.

The main indication of potassium citrate is to prevent the formation of urinary calcium stones through the increase in urinary pH implying a greater excretion of citrates: the high concentration of citrate in urines increases the solubility of mineral salts responsible of stones aggregation and formation. In order to evaluate the real efficacy of this preventive therapy, some researchers at the Duke University's Comprehensive Kidney Stone Center have performed a retrospective trial on 503 patients affected by recurrent urinary stone formation treated with potassium citrate.

We know that female urinary incontinence recognizes obesity as an aggravation, but we knew very little on the efficacy of weight loss on this particular problem. So, 338 obese women (averagely 53, average BMI: 36 kg/m2; average incontinence weekly episodes: 24) have been randomized to follow a weight loss programme through low-calorie and low-fat diet (1200-1500 kcal/die) or a programme of physical exercises keeping a standard diet.

Hospitalized old patients are often diagnosed with urinary tract infections (UTI) with no laboratory exams and consequently antibiotic therapies seem not adequate. In order to evaluate the extent of super-diagnosis, some English researchers have performed a retrospective trial on 256 hospitalized patients older than 75, whose primary or secondary diagnosis at discharge included urinary infection.
