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 ...

Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and correlation of urinary incontinence symptoms to diagnoses made on urodynamic testing among women older than 65 when compared to women less than age 65. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of patients with complaints of urinary incontinence between January, 2014 and August, 2016, who underwent urodynamic testing. The ...

AIMS Because time-dependent changes and gender differences in urinary dysfunction in patients with multiple system atrophy (MSA) are yet unknown, we aimed to determine these parameters through a combination of urodynamic examination and the results of a questionnaire on urinary symptoms. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 66 patients with MSA who responded to a urinary symptoms questionnaire...

Using 49 prostatectomized patients as experimental subjects, we studied the effects of Inclometnacin and acetylsalicylic acid — accredited prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors — from a urodynamic and clinical standpoint. Relevant urodynamic data was gathered 1 hr 30 mi after the patients had taken the drugs and placebo. Clinical results were further scrutinized after 8 days of treatment, at whic...

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...

PURPOSE We evaluated the correlation of lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of detrusor instability with urodynamic findings in men. MATERIALS AND METHODS Enrolled in our prospective study were 160 consecutive neurologically intact men referred for urodynamic evaluation of persistent lower urinary tract symptoms. All patients had storage symptoms suggestive of detrusor instability. Patien...

OBJECTIVES To describe the urodynamic characteristics of men with urinary retention, and to show the diverse treatment plans based on urodynamic findings. METHODS We carried out a 3-year retrospective review of men with urinary retention who were referred to our clinic for urodynamic evaluation. Men with a history of neurogenic voiding dysfunction or major pelvic surgery were excluded. Multic...

AIMS To evaluate micturition abnormalities in acute transverse myelitis and correlate these with evoked potentials, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and urodynamic findings. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital. PATIENTS 18 patients with acute transverse myelitis, aged 4-50 years; 15 had paraparesis and three quadriparesis. METHODS Patients with acute transverse myelitis had a neurolo...

Neurogenic bladder (NGB) secondary to spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied with several complications such as urinary tract deterioration, urinary incontinence, and consequently lower quality of life (QoL), significant morbidities, and occasionally death. Current therapeutic methods have some side effects and there is no treatment for the upper urinary tract injuries. Stem cell therapy is a ...
