PURPOSE Uroflowmetry is frequently used and simple urodynamic test, but it may be affected by various factors. Voiding position is one of the factors that can change the results. We tried to compare the uroflowmetric parameters in sitting and standing positions during urination. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 198 patients were enrolled to the study. All patients underwent an uroflowmetry in ...

Background: There is a variability in the reported rate of post-prostate biopsy voiding inefficiency. The burden and potential predictors this morbidity not well studied African patients. This study aimed to evaluate incidence as clinical histological factors affecting function patients undergoing trans-rectal prostate an population.
 Subjects, materials methods: An observational cohort wa...

The influence of muscarinic receptor stimulation and blockade on the central regulation of micturition was evaluated in conscious female rats. Saline was infused into the bladder to induce repeated bladder contractions and voiding. Increasing doses of a muscarinic agonist, oxotremorine-M (OXO-M; 0.01 to 1 microg/rat) or antagonist, atropine (0.1 to 30 microg/rat) were administered. Intrathecal ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of botulinum A toxin in the treatment of detrusor sphincter dyssynergia in multiple sclerosis patients. METHODS This was a multicentre, placebo controlled, randomised, double blind study. Patients with chronic urinary retention were included if they had post-voiding residual urine volume between 100 and 500 ml. They re...

PURPOSE We determined the effectiveness of 2 methods to treat overactive bladder in children using intragroup and intergroup comparisons in a randomized clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine boys and 19 girls with a mean ± SD age of 6.4 ± 2.18 years were randomly divided into group 1-parasacral transcutaneous electrical stimulation with placebo drug and group 2-oxybutynin with sham scapu...

OBJECTIVES To find the incidence of voiding dysfunction in Parkinson's disease and to examine the relation between the voiding dysfunction and various indices of the disease (disease severity, disease duration, age, sex, and treatment with antiparkisonian drugs), the presence of voiding dysfunction was quantitatively estimated in patients sampled on the unselected (consecutive) basis. METHODS...
