Understanding patterns of medical comorbidity in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may lead to better treatment of affected individuals as well as aid in etiologic study of disease.

The determinants of nocturnal enuresis in homozygous sickle cell (SS) disease have been investigated in 16 enuretic and 16 age and sex matched non-enuretic children. Overnight fluid deprivation tests (8pm-8am) demonstrated no significant difference in maximum urine osmolality or urine volumes, although the latter tended to be higher in the enuretic children. Maximum functional bladder capacity,...

Intervention: replacement of the UCP every 30 minutes until urine was passed (replaced UCP) (n = 38) or no replacement of the UCP (single UCP) (n = 42). The child’s perineum was cleaned with soap, and the reusable enuresis alarm sensor (Drinite Audio fx 2000 personal enuresis alarm, Ferraris Medical Ltd, Enfield, UK) was cleaned with an alcohol swab before each use. Wearing gloves, the nurse bu...
