Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a devastating neurologic disease that attacks young adults and affects all aspects of their lives. Genitourinary dysfunction in MS has a significant impact on quality of life with more than 80% of those with MS reporting genitourinary symptoms. Voiding dysfunction is a prominent problem affecting the majority of MS sufferers. Less commonly recognized, but of no less i...

Introduction/Objective. Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System (DVISS) was created to help diagnose functional voiding disorders in children based on their clinical symptoms. However, its role prognosticating treatment outcome dysfunctional (DV) not explored. The aim analyze the pre-treatment DVISS score's ability predict outcomes a pediatric population with DV study's main objec...

PURPOSE Postoperative voiding dysfunction is a bothersome complication after mid-urethral sling surgery. The current study presents multiple repeated postoperative voiding trials against a urine load of preoperative functional bladder capacity, as estimated by a preoperative frequency volume chart, to identify the relevance of preoperative and immediate factors to the outcome. METHODS A total...

from 0.3% to 1.3% of all bladder cancers [2-4]. The primary urothelial LELC was described for the first time by Zukerberg et al. in 1991 [5]. Until 2014, only 93 cases with LELCB were reported. Most cases of LELCB occurred in their seventh decade with male predominance [1,6]. The presenting symptoms of LELCB were similar to urothelial carcinomas. Gross hematuria and irritative voiding disorders...

BACKGROUND The invasiveness and exposure to radiation in voiding cystourethrography led to the introduction of alternative methods of diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux, including contrast enhanced voiding urosonography. While there is a limited number of studies comparing these methods using new generation ultrasound contrast agents, none of them compared both methods simultaneously. This stud...

BACKGROUND Normal voiding behavior in urethane-anesthetized rats includes contraction of the abdominal wall striated muscle, similar to the visceromotor response (VMR) to noxious bladder distension. Normal rat voiding requires pulsatile release of urine from a pressurized bladder. The abdominal wall contraction accompanying urine flow may provide a necessary pressure increment for normal effici...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the difference of voiding pattern between newborns with and those without hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). METHODS Forty hospitalized newborns aged 4-21 days were included in this study. Twenty-one were preterm newborns with HIE, and the remaining 19 preterm newborns were without HIE. The voided volume, postvoid residual (PVR) volume, consciousness at voiding, v...
