Background: Mouse urodynamic tests are fundamental to understanding normal lower urinary tract (LUT) function. These experiments also contribute to our understanding of neurological dysfunction, pathophysiological processes, and potential mechanisms of therapy. Objectives: Systematic assessment of published evidence on urodynamics, advantages and limitations of different urodynamic measurements...

Detrusor overactivity (DO) with impaired contractility (DOIC) is a mixed pattern of involuntary contraction and increased post-void residual urine volume (PVR) which occurs in stroke patients. Urodynamic study results obtained from patients with detrusor abnormalities and stroke were analyzed to identify the associations between various urodynamic parameters and DOIC. Between August 2003 and No...

AIMS Urodynamic studies (UDS) are complex, invasive and may be emotionally and physically distressing. Inadequate information may heighten distress. Prior to UDS, our patients receive written and verbal information, yet concerns remains that some women may not be adequately informed. This study examined how informed women believe they are to undergo UDS in our clinic. METHODS This was a befor...

Objective: The study aimed to report the incidence of CSF leakage in patients with a tethered spinal cord, post-operatively. Materials and Methods: A total 75 individuals aged more than 2 years either gender who were hospitalized for surgery cord syndrome included. All had preoperative MRI spine, those above age 6 urodynamic tests. Clinical evaluations performed until hospital release, then aga...

A prospective study was done in pediatric out-patient department of a tertiary care hospital to evaluate the role of urodynamics in the management of primary enuresis in the 5-14-year-old children and to compare the effectiveness of multidimensional behavioral therapy with pharmacological therapy. Hundred and nineteen children between 5-14 years with primary enuresis were evaluated clinically a...

BACKGROUND We have observed different clinical responses to botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) in patients who had similar urodynamic parameters before the procedure. Furthermore, some bladders evaluated by cystography and cystoscopy during the procedure had different characteristics that could influence the outcome of the treatment. The aim of this study was to assess whether cystography and urodynamic...

conclusions vur might be more frequent in children with physiological urinary incontinence than the normal population, and might be as common as nmne with intermittent daytime incontinence. results urinary tract infection was found in 23 (34.8%) children, 17 (33.3%) and 6 (40%) patients with nmne and physiological urinary incontinence, respectively. out of 48 patients who underwent vcug, vesico...

Materials and methods: Between June and December 2009, a total of 50 patients over the age of 40 participated in the study. Th e patients were admitted to our hospital with erectile dysfunction and moderate to severe lower urinary symptoms with benign prostatic hyperplasia. To examine the sexual function of the participants, we used the IIEF-5 Sexual Health Inventory for Men questionnaire. Pati...
