Objective: To evaluate the value and compliance rate of voiding vesicoureteral urosonography in pediatric reflux (VUR).
 Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total 80 children with high-risk VUR admitted to Children’s Hospital affiliated Capital Medical University from December 2018 2020 were selected. All patients underwent (VUS) fluoroscopic cystourethrography (VCUG). The sensitivit...

OBJECTIVE To determine the functional outcomes after synthetic sling revision surgery performed for voiding dysfunction. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of 63 women who underwent surgical revision of a synthetic sling (SS) over an 11 year period between 2000 and 2010 inclusive, for the treatment of voiding dysfunction. Voiding dysfunction was defined as a persistently raised post-void res...

Several studies have anecdotally reported the occurrence of altered urinary voiding patterns in rodents exposed to social stress. A recent study characterized the urodynamic and central changes in a rat model of social defeat. Here, we describe a similar voiding phenotype induced in mice by social stress and in addition we describe potential molecular mechanisms underlying the resulting bladder...

AIMS Pudendal nerve injury in the rat has been a useful animal model for studying stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, the effect of pudendal nerve injury on activity of the external urethral sphincter (EUS) is relatively unexplored. The aims of this study were to examine voiding and the EUS electromyogram (EMG) in a durable SUI model in rats with bilateral or unilateral pudendal nerve t...

AIM The aim was to evaluate the voiding function over time after the TVT procedure for stress incontinence. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight women with urodynamic stress urinary incontinence were included in the study. For voiding function assessment the patients were asked if voiding had changed postoperatively, and objectively uroflowmetry, residual urine measurement and pressure-flow wer...

Hypothesis / aims of study: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common in women. Although many women have primarily storage symptoms, others have a combination of storage and voiding symptoms without having a defined mechanical obstruction. Anti-muscarinic drugs are commonly used to treat women with LUTS whether they have primarily storage or storage and voiding symptoms. It is doubtful tha...

This article develops the point that incentive and risk-bearing problems associated with contractual holdup may justify legal intervention. Contractual holdup is considered both for fresh contracts and for modifications of contracts. One type of legal intervention is flat voiding of contracts. Such intervention tends to be advantageous when holdup situations are engineered. Another type of inte...
