OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of the urodynamic catheter on the urinary flow rate and residual volume in various urodynamic diagnoses, and compare the outcome when using a smaller catheter, as the effect of this catheter on free uroflow variables is mostly studied in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and little is known about its effect in other urodynamic diagnoses. PATIENTS AN...

DOI: 10.21276/sjams.2017.5.9.36 Abstract: The diagnosis and management of bladder outlet obstruction among postmenopausal patients is a complex process with various modalities available for its diagnosis. Cystourethroscopy is an important tool for the same and we intend to study if it is enough in the diagnosis of the presence and degree of bladder outlet obstruction in post-menopausal female p...

Abstract Double J (DJ) stents are placed in patients with obstructive uropathy to relieve the obstruction. Curved ends prevent slippage or migration of stent. Antegrade into urinary bladder retrograde ureter common complications. Mode retrieval migrated depends upon location We present a case series four cases percutaneous snaring cephalad DJ pediatric patients.

Urinary incontinence postradical prostatectomy is a common problem which adversely affects quality of life. Concomitant bladder neck contracture in the setting of postprostatectomy incontinence represents a challenging clinical problem. Postprostatectomy bladder neck contracture is frequently recurrent and makes surgical management of incontinence difficult. The aetiology of bladder neck contra...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the urodynamic changes in patients treated with Adjustable Continence Therapy for men (ProACT) for postprostatectomy incontinence and to explore the clinical and urodynamic preimplantation parameters as predictors of clinical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients underwent urodynamic studies before and after ProACT implantation. ProACT was considered successful if pati...

The underactive bladder (UAB)/detrusor underactivity (DU) is a relatively common condition. It is difficult to diagnose and can be difficult to manage. The aim of this review is to provide a review of the diagnosis and different surgical treatment options for UAB/DU. A comprehensive literature review using medical search engines was performed. The search included a combination of the following ...

Although evidence shows that urodynamic study may not improve outcomes, it can be used to evaluate men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTSs) which have not been adequately delineated and treated. In young men with LUTS not responding to treatment based on clinical examination, or elderly men with LUTS and incontinence, a complete urodynamic evaluation is mandatory to understand the pathophy...

We previously showed that complete loss of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain isoform 2 (SM2) resulted in postnatal lethality, but in het mice a partial loss of SM2 (SM2(+/-)) was accompanied by down-regulation of SM1 with unaltered SM2:SM1 ratio. To determine whether a normal bladder function would be maintained throughout its lifespan, we aged WT and SM2(+/-) mice up to 18 months and analyzed a...

We report a case of urinary retention in a women caused by a leiomyoma of the bladder. The intramural form often causes obstruction, as it is usually located near the bladder base. Treatment is surgical, and the prognosis is excellent. Therefore, cystoscopy is recommended in women with urinary retention.

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of potential drug-disease interaction in elderly patients in family practice. To assess which drugs and diagnoses are associated with a high risk related to drug-disease interaction and whether there are gender- or age-related differences. METHODS In routinely recorded electronic patient records, patients at least 65 years old with at least one diagnosis n...
