BACKGROUND Owing to their various advantages, including shortened hospital stays, faster recoveries, and satisfactory outcomes, laparoscopic bladder neck suspension (LBNS) and tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) have become 2 well-known minimally-invasive anti-incontinent procedures. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the outcomes of LBNS and TVT procedures for treatment of stress urinary inc...

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of methods of feeding a total mixed ration (TMR) on behavior patterns of growing Hanwoo steers. A total of 15 growing steers (13 months old) were assigned to the control (fed roughage and concentrate mix separately), TMR1 (fed restricted TMR), and TMR2 (fed TMR ad libitum) groups. Individual behaviors of steers were observed for 48 hours. Compare...

Methods: The clinical data of a case of xanthogranulomatous prostatitis were analyzed retrospectively and discussed with relative literature review. Results: A 56-year-old man presented with a 1 month history of difficult urination, which was exacerbat...

A simple procedure is described for investigating stimuli selected as targets during urination in the commode. Ten normal males preferred a floating target that could be tracked to a series of stationary targets. This technique was used to bring misdirected urinations in a severely retarded male under rapid stimulus control of a floating target in the commode. The float stimulus was also evalua...

Background: Cold may aggravate urge symptoms in patients with frequency/urgency syndromes. Objectives: This paper attempts to establish the correlation between the changes in three variables, namely the changes of ambient temperature, age and weight of conscious infants and their micturition rate. Materials and Methods: The time interval between the napkin removal and micturition was recorded, ...

An age-matched case-control study was initiated to determine the major risk factors associated with CKD in cats and dogs and to determine what clinical signs cat and dog owners observed before their veterinarian diagnosed their pet with CKD. When compared to controls, the feline cases were more likely to have had polydipsia and polyuria in the year before the owners' cats were diagnosed with CK...

Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is not a single disease but rather an umbrella term for several disorders, the most common being feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC), uroliths and urethral crystalline-matrix plugs. Regardless of the underlying cause, FLUTD is characterised by dysuria (painful or difficult urination), pollakiuria (frequent and/or prolonged attempts to urinate), stranguria...

There is scant evidence-based literature on the best strategies for short-term urinary catheter removal. This clinical trial explored the effects of an early urinary catheter clamping protocol on bladder function in neurosurgical patients. Eligible patients were divided into observation and control groups. Those in the observation group had their catheter clamped postoperatively on return to th...

Transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) has been established as the golden standard for the treatment of urinary retention in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, TUR-P is not performed on patients with certain high-risk complications. We have obtained favorable results using urethral stent (Angiomed-Memotherm) implantation to treat high-risk urinary retention pati...
