The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical effect of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on bowel dysfunction in neurogenic bladder patients using the neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) score.
Leukodystrophies are genetic white matter disorders. In the young, they represent an important cause of progressive neurological disability. Impairment of the bladder function may be part of the clinical picture of leukodystrophies.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of metabolic diseases that is linked to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. MetS has also been linked to increased nephrolithiasis. However, limited research has been conducted on MetS and its impact on stone specific health-related quality of life (HRQOL).
The impact of pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) on female sexual function is not well understood, partly due to difficulties in measurement and evaluation. We sought to assess how women with PFDs respond to sexual function questionnaires through an analysis of survey marginalia, or the comments written in the margins of fixed-choice surveys.
Peyronie disease (PD) is a benign, superficial fibromatosis involving the fascial structures of the penis, causing deformity, pain, and loss of function, for which there are few contemporary studies of the histopathology.
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is arguably the most common disease in aging men. Although the etiology is not well understood, chronic prostatic inflammation is thought to play an important role in BPH initiation and progression.
This study will examine the effectiveness and safety of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for the treatment of patients with interstitial cystitis (IC). We will retrieve the following electronic databases from their commencements to the March 1, 2020 to discover all related potential studies: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and […]
To determine whether patients with interstitial cystitis have elevated levels of toxic urinary cations, to identify and quantify these cationic metabolites, and to assess their cytotoxicity. Isolation of cationic fraction was achieved by solid phase extraction using an Oasis MCX cartridge on urine specimens from interstitial cystitis patients and controls.
Infertility is a subject of worldwide concern as it affects approximately 15% of couples. Among the prime contributors of infertility, urogenital bacterial infections have lately gained much clinical importance.
Growing evidence in the literature suggests that obesity is capable of altering reproductive hormone levels and male fertility. Effects on classic semen parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), however, have not been properly established.
