Background: Although the motor symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) are well defined, several studies have established that the non motor symptoms of IPD are common and occur across all stages of IPD, underestimated, unrecognized and untreated. Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the urinary symptoms at different stages of IPD severity and its relation to urodynamic par...

Urodynamic evaluation is an invasive and uncomfortable procedure that can cause physical distress and is difficult to perform in uncooperative patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of consciousness on urodynamic evaluation in an animal model. Repeated cystometry, electromyogram, and measurement of serum cortisol concentrations were performed in female cats under conscious ...

PURPOSE To classify patients with orthotopic neobladder based on urodynamic parameters using cluster analysis and to characterize the voiding function of each group.
