Results: Mean WIV was 1.15±0.78 J, mean WIV/t was 22.95±14.45 milliWatt, and mean WIV/v was 5.59±2.32 J/L. WIV/v showed significant positive ...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a nomogram for assessing bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in women derived from concurrent Pdet.Qmax and Qmax based on radiographic evidence of increased urethral resistance. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of prospectively acquired video-urodynamics and clinical data of 185 women (development cohort) was performed. The Pdet.Qmax were plotted agai...

STUDY TYPE A cross sectional survey. BACKGROUND Global estimates indicate that by 2018 2.3 billion individuals worldwide will suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), with 1.1 billion having LUTS related to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). Left untreated BOO in men causes irreversible changes to the urinary tract leading to urinary retention, the need for catheterization, renal failu...

Aims of Study We previously reported that diuresis since before bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) has resulted in an increase in bladder mass and wall thickness resulting in an increase in contractile strength. This augmented contractile strength of bladder smooth muscle resulted in protection against the contractile dysfunction secondary to BOO. However, it has been still unclear that the effec...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate clinical and urodynamic changes in patients with and without bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and to compare the clinical and urodynamic results of terazosin treatment between patients with and without BOO. METHODS In a prospective study, 97 patients who completed a full screening program including urodynamic investigation with pressure-flow study analysis started treat...

Objective To investigate the urodynamic study (UDS) patterns, obstruction status, continence status, and their correlations among neurologically intact women with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) through an epidemiological and logistic regression analyses. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the UDS data of 3265 neurologically intact women with LUTS (2002-2014). Five UDS patterns were iden...

PURPOSE To demonstrate the change in the expression of angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) in the rat bladder with partial bladder outlet obstruction (P-BOO). MATERIALS AND METHODS Bladder specimens were obtained from 12-week-old Wistar female rats that were divided into two groups, a P-BOO group and a control group. The rats of the P-BOO group were divided into six groups: a sham-operated c...

INTRODUCTION To assure that patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) benefit from interventions, urologists must practice careful selection of surgical candidates. Currently, 15%-30% of men do not benefit optimally from these invasive and potentially morbid procedures. Success rates following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) are higher if bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) ...
