Urethral dysfunction due to alloxan-induced diabetes. Urodynamic and morphological evaluation

Urethral dysfunction due to alloxan-induced diabetes. Urodynamic and morphological evaluation.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of short and long term alloxan-induced diabetes on bladder and urethral function of female rats, and also describing its correlated morphological alterations. METHODS Thirty five female rats were divided into three groups: G1 (n=9), control group; G2 (n=17), six weeks alloxan-induced diabetic rats; G3 (n=9), 20 weeks alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Functional eva...

Urethral dysfunction due to alloxan-induced diabetes. Urodynamic evaluation and action of sildenafil citrate.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of diabetes mellitus and of sildenafil citrate on female urethral function. METHODS Twenty nine female rats were divided into four groups: G1 - (n=9), normal rats; G2 - (n=6), normal rats treated with sildenafil citrate; G3 - (n=9) rats with alloxan-induced diabetes; G4 - (n=5) rats with alloxan-induced diabetes treated with sildenafil citrate.

Good Urodynamic Practice: Measuring Urethral Continence Function

[Urodynamic evaluation for bladder dysfunction after radical hysterectomy].

Bladder dysfunction after radical hysterectomy and/or radiotherapy for uterine cancer is a serious problem. Its pathogenesis has not been well elucidated. Urodynamic and clinical evaluations were performed in 53 patients; 24 of them underwent radical hysterectomy and postoperative radiotherapy (RH + RT), 13 had radical hysterectomy alone (RH), 7 had modified radical hysterectomy (mRH), 9 had ra...

Chronological Urodynamic Evaluation of Changing Bladder and Urethral Functions After Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

OBJECTIVE To examine chronological changes in urethral and bladder functions before, immediately after, and 1 year after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), urodynamic studies were prospectively performed. METHODS Sixty-three consecutive patients underwent pressure-flow studies, urethral pressure profiles, and abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) tests 1-2 days before, immediately af...
