Objective: To test the effect of a follow-up clinic on urinary incontinence (UI) and nocturia among older adults with hip fracture. Method: Fifty-three older adults (≥65 years) 3 to 12 months following hip fracture were enrolled and randomized to receive usual care plus the intervention (B4), or usual care (UC) only.

The combination of hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) resembles glycosaminoglycan (GAG) replenishment therapy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of HA and CS on nocturia, in men with nocturia after PCa radiotherapy....

AIMS To investigate the association of both the urodynamic profiles and patterns of detrusor overactivity (DO) with the severity of the symptoms related to overactive bladder (OAB) in men with benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) associated with DO. METHODS A total of 777 men with symptomatic BPE who had undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) were retrospectively analyzed. All...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To assess current pharmacological principles used for treatment of nocturia/nocturnal polyuria.
