Lower urinary tract obstruction is defined as partial or complete obstruction of the urinary tract at the level of the urethra and the bladder. The posterior urethral valves are the most common cause, 9 percent of the fetal uropathies. The incidence range is wide, because of different databases show different populations. The most severe obstructive uropathy is in patients with kidney damage, o...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the urinary tract dysfunction following a radical hysterectomy and to compare the baseline urodynamical parameters of women who had uterine cervical carcinoma with women who had CIN 3. METHODS A prospective case-control study was conducted to evaluate preoperative and postoperative urinary tract function of thirty-two cervical carcinoma patients using twenty-seven CIN 3...

PURPOSE We determined the efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA for neurogenic detrusor overactivity secondary to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a prospective, double-blind, multicenter study 57 patients 18 to 75 years old with neurogenic detrusor overactivity secondary to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis and urinary incontinence (defined as 1 or more occu...

Using the ARGUS detector at the e+e storage ring DORIS II, we have measured the Michel parameters , , and for ! l  decays in -pair events produced at center of mass energies in the region of the resonances. Using ! as spin analyzing tags, we nd e = 0:68 0:04 0:08, e = 1:12 0:20 0:09, e = 0:57 0:14 0:07, = 0:69 0:06 0:08, = 1:25 0:27 0:14 and = 0:72 0:18 0:10. In addition, we report the combine...

In the presence of nuisance parameters, we derive an explicit higher order asymptotic formula to compare the expected lengths of conndence intervals given by likelihood ratio statistics arising from the usual proole likelihood and various adjustments thereof. Highest posterior density regions, with approximate frequentist validity, are also included in the study.

cystoscopy and urinary cytology are currently the basis for diagnosis and ‎follow-up of bladder tumors. research to find a sensitive and specific tumor ‎marker for diagnosis of bladder tumor is actively underway, however, due to low sensitivity ‎and high cost of cytology. this cross-sectional study was performed in 65 patients to evaluate whether urinary bladder ‎cancer (ubc) antigen level can ...

background in order to detect nephropathy, measurement of total (24 hrs) urinary albumin or albumin/creatinin ratio in random urine samples is being recommended. but methods of albumin measurement are not available in all laboratories and also cost about 6 times more than that of urinary total protein measurement. objectives this study was performed to determine appropriate cut off point in 24 ...

AIMS To investigate the predictive ability of four digital assessment parameters to detect levator ani (LA) muscle defects (avulsion injury) and compare these to transperineal tomographic ultrasound images. METHODS This was an observational study imbedded in a larger quasi-experimental cohort study for women with urinary incontinence. Seventy-two women, ≥ 60 years who had attended or were goi...

1. Pre-dialysis patients Malnutrition is not specific to any stage of ESRD, but evidently it is present even before starting renal replacement therapy (RRT). Reports published by the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) Study indicate that early signs of malnutrition, such as reduction in body mass index (BMI), weight and anthropometric measurements, and notable decline in urinary bioch...
