چکیده

The postvoid residual volume (PVR) is a common urodynamic parameter used to quantify the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction. However, the serial cystometrograms that are typically used to assess bladder function in animal models make measuring PVR very difficult. Current approaches are to either remove PVR after each void to measure it, which is disruptive to the bladder, or to neglect the unknown contribution to PVR from ureter flow, which results in inaccurate estimates. We propose a procedure to estimate PVR during a serial cystometrogram that requires only a single measurement, rather than measuring after each void. Moreover, this measurement can occur at the end of the experiment such that it does not affect the bladder during data collection. We mathematically express PVR for all voids during a serial cystometrogram using a linear recurrence equation and use this equation to build an estimation procedure for PVR. Using in vivo measurements in urethane anesthetized rats and computer simulations we show that the estimation procedure is at least as accurate in determining PVR as the traditional method of measuring PVR after each void. Furthermore, we demonstrate the adverse effects of repeated PVR measurements in a common animal model of cystitis. Using the proposed procedure can increase the efficiency and accuracy of determining PVR for a serial cystometrogram and is less disruptive to the system under study. This, in turn, allows the calculation of other urodynamic parameters that are critical for research studies, including voiding efficiency and bladder capacity.

Editorial comment on: diagnostic accuracy of noninvasive tests to evaluate bladder outlet obstruction in men: detrusor wall thickness, uroflowmetry, postvoid residual urine, and prostate volume.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of detrusor wall thickness (DWT), free uroflowmetry, postvoid residual urine, and prostate volume (index tests) with pressure-flow studies (reference standard) to detect bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men. METHODS During a 2-yr period, men older than 40 yr with lower urinary tract symptoms and/or prostati...

Immediate effect on overactive bladder symptoms following administration of imidafenacin.

INTRODUCTION One of the factors influencing the treatment compliance of patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms is thought to be the time to reach clinical effectiveness after administering drugs. We investigated the immediate effect of imidafenacin on OAB symptoms. PATIENTS AND METHODS Imidafenacin (0.1 mg) was administered. OAB symptom scores (OABSS) were evaluated before administra...

Ultrasound bladder scanner presents falsely elevated postvoid residual volumes.

Case description An 83-year-old woman with severe Alzheimer dementia was admitted with verbal and physical aggression to the acute Care of the Elderly unit. Because the patient had incontinence, postvoid residual (PVR) volumes were measured using a portable ultrasound bladder scanner. Postvoid residual urine volumes, measured on several different occasions, ranged from 403 to 855 mL, with only ...

Improvements in overactive bladder syndrome after polypropylene mesh surgery for cystocele.

BACKGROUND The International Continence Society has defined overactive bladder syndrome (OABS) by the following set of symptoms: 'urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with urinary frequency and nocturia'. OABS and cystocele often coexist. AIM This study aimed to analyse the changes in the overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) of women followed up for one year after anterior ...
