to evaluate overactive bladder (oab) with detrusor overactivity (doa) following oxybutynin or tolterodine treatment in recommended doses at a four-week course. a total of 100 iranian women 45 years or older with urgency that also showed idiopathic detrusor overactivity (ido) in the filling phase of their cystometry were included in the current study. in this double-blinded trial two parallel gr...

Background: Urodynamics is the gold standard for evaluating function of neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury (SCI), but there are few studies on urodynamics in patients with complete and incomplete suprasacral SCI different periods.There a lack sufficient evidence timing first urodynamic examination.

Abstract Aim Urodynamic studies (UDS) are physiological measurements of voiding and storage function the lower urinary tract that commonly performed in clinical practice to investigate bothersome symptoms. Despite considerable efforts improve UDS, standardisation remains be challenging. This audit thus, presents a review current UDS referral process analysis details included on urodynamic reque...

BACKGROUND The position of invasive urodynamic testing in the diagnostic pathway for urinary incontinence (UI) is unclear. Systematic reviews have called for further trials evaluating clinical utility, although a preliminary feasibility study was considered appropriate. OBJECTIVES To inform the decision whether or not to proceed to a definitive randomised trial of invasive urodynamic testing ...

The longevity of the world's population is increasing, and among male patients, complaints of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are growing. Testing to diagnose LUTS and to differentiate between the various causes should be quick, easy, cheap, specific, not too bothersome for the patient, and noninvasive or minimally so. Urodynamic evaluation is the gold standard for diagnosing bladder outlet...

Bladder function in four patients with normal pressure hydrocephalus, one with dementia of Alzheimer type and five patients with multi-infarct dementia was studied by history and urodynamic tests (cystometry and Bor's ice water test). The bladder hyperactivity could be temporarily improved by a lumbar puncture and removal of 50 ml CSF and later abolished by a shunt operation in patients with no...

The effects of the potassium channel opener levcromakalim (BRL 38227) 7.5 micrograms kg-1 were examined on urodynamic variables and blood pressure during inflow and voiding cystometry in six high spinal cord lesion patients. Levcromakalim administration significantly increased the duration of bladder contraction (197 +/- 128 s to 267 +/- 167 s, P < 0.05) and also reduced blood pressure (126 +/-...

The definitions restate or update those presented in previous International Continence Society Standardisation of Terminology reports (see references) and those shortly to be published on Urethral Function (Lose et al., in press) and Nocturia (van Kerrebroeck et al., 2002.). The published ICS report on the technical aspects of urodynamic equipment (Rowen et al., 1987) will be complemented by th...

A 34-year-old man presented with sudden voiding dysfunction and lower limb paraplegia. As a central nervous system disorder was suspected, he was referred to the neurology department. Under the diagnosis of neurosarcoidosis, steroid pulse therapy was initiated. To ensure the effect of this therapy, the patient was referred back for urodynamic testing. Urodynamic testing indicated that the ureth...

The role of urodynamics in the evaluation and treatment of men with lower urinary tract symptoms is not well defined. Symptoms do not correlate very well with urodynamic findings, but patients with prostatic obstruction fare better after ablative prostatic surgery than those with impaired detrusor contractility. The only proven method for distinguishing between the two is urodynamics, ie, the d...
