conclusions urodynamic studies in children should be performed in preferred voiding position for each kid considering the culture and voiding habits. unfamiliar voiding position may turn the uroflowmetry to a stressful experience for child that make him uncooperative and cause misleading results. results comparison of uroflowmetric indexes between different genders and voiding positions showed ...

Background & Aims: Uroflowmetry is a common procedure to examine the lower urinary tract system. Uroflowmetry results are affected by different factors. In this study, the effect of voiding position on uroflowmetric parameters and voiding residue were investigated in healthy subjects. Methods: This descriptive–analysis study was performed on 41 healthy volunteers with mean age of 33.22 ± 9.45 r...

PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of voiding position on uroflowmetry parameters and to assess its potential clinical implications. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective study from 2013 to 2015 and included men between 18 and 77 years old who were either healthy volunteers with an International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≤7 or men with benign prostate enlargement that were on alpha...

INTRODUCTION We assessed the effect of different positions of voiding on uroflowmetry findings in healthy men and in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten men with symptomatic BPH and 10 healthy men were enrolled in this study. Urodynamic study was done for each subject in 3 positions: standing, crouching (the position used in the Iranian style toilets), ...

PURPOSE Uroflowmetry is frequently used and simple urodynamic test, but it may be affected by various factors. Voiding position is one of the factors that can change the results. We tried to compare the uroflowmetric parameters in sitting and standing positions during urination. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 198 patients were enrolled to the study. All patients underwent an uroflowmetry in ...

This study investigated whether British women prefer to crouch over public toilet seats, and measured the effect of such a voiding position on urine flow rate and residual urine volume. Of 528 consecutive women who attended a general gynaecological clinic and completed an anonymous questionnaire, 85% usually crouched over the toilet when using a public convenience, 12% applied paper to the seat...

Purpose. To determine the mechanisms predisposing penile fracture as well as the rate of long-term penile deformity and erectile and voiding functions. Methods. All fractures were repaired on an emergency basis via subcoronal incision and absorbable suture with simultaneous repair of eventual urethral lesion. Patients' status before fracture and voiding and erectile functions at long term were ...

In a urodynamic measurement setup there is a considerable spatial separation between the uroflowmeter and the location where the detrusor pressure is measured. Therefore, a "time shift" (or lag time correction) has to be applied to one of these signals in order to align related samples in studies where pressure and flow rate are considered simultaneously (e.g., assessment of bladder contractili...

BACKGROUND The tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) has become popular for the surgical treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence. It seems to function via an intermittent obstructive effect that is easily demonstrated on imaging, although there is no agreement regarding its effect on voiding. AIMS The present study was designed to longitudinally evaluate flowmetry indices and voiding symptoms a...

OBJECTIVE To explore brain activity in the frontal micturition area during natural bladder behavior. METHODS Five control subjects (one man and four women; mean age 61 years [38-70]) and four subjects with detrusor overactivity (all men; mean age 55 years [33-65]) were enrolled in the study. We performed real-time measurements of oxyhemoglobin concentration (oxy-Hb) changes in the frontal mic...
