Urodynamic Investigation: A Valid Tool to Define Normal Lower Urinary Tract Function?
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether urodynamic investigation (UDI), the gold standard to assess refractory lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), is appropriate to select healthy volunteers with apparent normal lower urinary tract function as control subjects for comparative studies. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 42 healthy subjects (22 women, mean age 32±10 years; 20 men, mean age 37±12 years) without LUTS ...
متن کاملIntrathecal opioids and lower urinary tract function: a urodynamic evaluation.
BACKGROUND Intrathecal administration of opioids may cause lower urinary tract dysfunction. In this study, the authors compared the effects of morphine and sufentanil administered intrathecally in a randomized double-blind fashion (two doses each) on lower urinary tract function in healthy male volunteers. METHODS Urodynamic evaluation was performed before and every hour after drug administra...
متن کاملUrodynamic Model of the Lower Urinary Tract
In this article we present a model of the lower urinary tract with the aim of a better understanding of how it functions. Based on urodynamic measurements (intravesical pressure, detrusor pressure, abdominal pressure and electromyography of the external sphincter) we have de veloped a model based on artificial neuronal networks, in particular we have used an Ortogonal Associative Memory. With t...
متن کاملIdiopathic Parkinson's Disease: Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunctions and Urodynamic Abnormalities
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...
متن کاملCharacteristics of North American urodynamic centers: measuring lower urinary tract filling and storage function.
In this second article reviewing the characteristics of urodynamic evaluations in North American urodynamic centers, selected techniques used when measuring lower urinary tract function are discussed. Previously reported were the characteristics of clinicians and equipment of urodynamic centers in North America (Krissovich & Gray, 2002). A subsequent article will focus on current practices used...
