Urodynamics is the standard method of diagnosing bladder dysfunction, but involves catheters and retrograde bladder filling. With these artificial conditions, urodynamics cannot always reproduce patie...
Eleven adult female patients undergoing urodynamics for overactive bladder symptoms were enrolled. After baseline urodynamics, the UroMonitor was transurethrally inserted into the bladder and position...
The UroMonitor did not significantly alter capacity, sensation, or flow during urodynamics. The UroMonitor was also easily inserted and removed in all subjects. The UroMonitor reproduced bladder press...
The UroMonitor is the first device to enable catheter-free telemetric ambulatory bladder pressure monitoring in humans. The UroMonitor appears safe and well tolerated, does not impede lower urinary tr...
There is no consensus on preoperative functional testing prior to surgeries for benign prostatic obstruction causing lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)....
Surgical management offers definite benefits, but the results are not always satisfactory. The urodynamic study (UDS) is the gold standard for assessing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) which is the b...
To describe the prevalence of nocturia and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in a cohort of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients and to describe their association. Additionally, to assess clinical and urodyn...
Retrospective analysis of data from patients with SCI followed in a tertiary care rehabilitation center with a specialized sleep and neuro-urology units. All adult SCI patients who underwent urodynami...
173 patients (131 males, 42 females) were included. The majority of patients were paraplegic (n = 111 (64,2%)) and had complete lesions (n = 75 (43,4%)). A total of 100 patients had nocturia (57,5%). ...
Nocturia and OSA are highly prevalent in patients with SCI, but no statistical association was found between these two disorders. A prospective study focusing on nocturnal polyuria will be needed to a...
To evaluate the effect of urethral catheterization on the accuracy of EMG uroflowmetry in children with non-neurogenic voiding disorders during pressure-flow (PF) studies compared to the non-invasive ...
A retrospective study of children undergoing a urodynamic evaluation at our institution between 8/2018 and 7/2022 was employed. Urination curves and pelvic floor muscle activity were compared between ...
104 children were tested, with 34 children (33%) being able to urinate only in a non-invasive EMG uroflowmetry. The percentage of boys unable to urinate with a catheter was significantly higher than g...
The accuracy of PF studies in children, primarily in boys, compared to the non-invasive uroflowmetry, was poor. This may pose potential errors in diagnosis and subsequent treatment. We recommend compl...
Uroflowmetry (UFM) is the first-line noninvasive screening test employed in the diagnosis of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). The purpose of this study was to determine normal UFM values in hea...
A total of 100 healthy girls and 62 healthy boys aged 5-15 years, who applied to İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center Pediatrics Polyclinic between February 2021 and January 2022, were included...
The mean Qmax value in healthy female children aged 5-15 years (21.8 ± 8.6 mL/s) was significantly higher than in male children (17.98 ± 6.1 mL/s) (p = .003). VV, Qmax, and Qavg values of the children...
We believe that this study adds to the limited knowledge base regarding normal flow patterns in healthy children....
To investigate the association between ischemic stroke topography and the onset of urinary incontinence (UI); to evaluate predictors of post-stroke UI in women....
We prospectively followed up a cohort of women with ischemic stroke confirmed by clinical and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans findings. Participants were subjected t...
162 S-women were included: 128 (79 %) continent and 34 (21 %) incontinent. Frontal lobe lesions were higher in the incontinent group (82.9 % versus 51.2 %, p = 0.001); lesions in the parietal lobe and...
There is a correlation between the topography of the ischemic stroke and the onset of UI. Frontal lobe lesion, BMI and number of vaginal deliveries are predictors of post-stroke UI....
Data on the long-term management of neurogenic bladder (NGB) are scarce. We evaluated the current status of NGB management in Japanese children over 24-month follow-up using the JMDC database....
In this descriptive, observational, retrospective cohort study, patients (≤ 17 years) with NGB were included. Patient characteristics and their management status were investigated. A multivariate anal...
Of 883 eligible children, 39.3% had spina bifida. Over 12/24-month post-index periods, renal urinary tract ultrasound and urinalysis were performed at least once in > 35%/> 45% patients, respectively,...
Patients with use of CIC and/or having spina bifida and constipation had a higher risk of UTI, suggesting the need for careful follow-up. More guideline-compliant and diligent patient management is ne...
To assess the efficacy of switching to Abobotulinumtoxin A (ATA) intradetrusor injections (IDI) after failure of Onabotulinumtoxin A (OTA) IDI for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity in ...
A single-centre retrospective chart review study. All SCI patients who started OTA IDI after 2011 and had an ATA IDI switch were included. The primary outcome was the clinical and urodynamic efficacy ...
Sixty-two patients were included. Eighteen patients (28.9%) were initially responders to ATA IDI. Nine patients (14.5%) remained responders at last follow-up after a median of 17 months (AE 8.8-29). T...
Switching from OTA to ATA toxin for IDI in the treatment of detrusor overactivity after spinal cord injury have long-term efficacy for a limited number of patients but may delay the need for surgery....
The Working Group (WG), initiated by the International Continence Society (ICS) Standardisation Steering Committee and supported by the Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogenital Re...
Based on the ICS standard for developing evidence-based standards, the WG developed this new ICS standard in the period from May 2020 to December 2022. A draft was posted on the ICS website in Decembe...
The WG has recommended analysis principles for the diagnosis of voiding dysfunction for adult men and women without relevant neurological abnormalities. New standard terms and parameters for objective...
PFS is the gold standard used to objectively assess voiding function. Quantifying the dysfunction and grading of abnormalities are standardized for adult males and females....
