Urologists will benefit from an imaging modality which can assess intra- and extra-luminal characteristics of urethral strictures. We conducted a prospective pilot study evaluating the utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and shear wave elastography for the evaluation of bulbar urethral stricture disease.
To assess the role of detrusor underactivity (DUA), diagnosed by different urodynamic criteria, on outcomes of women underwent middle urethral sling (MUS) for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In this prospective study, DUA criteria of women with SUI, naïve for SUI surgery, candidates to MUS were: I Pdet@Qmax ≤10 cm H2O and Qmax ≤12 mL/s (Jeong et al.
INTRODUCTION Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition in all demographics of women and consists of stress UI (SUI), Urgency UI (UUI), and mixed UI (MUI). Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, medical treatment, and surgery depending on the type of UI and severity of symptoms.
Investigate the presence of nonbladder sensory abnormalities in participants with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN) study participants with OAB symptoms and controls were recruited from six US tertiary referral centers.
The objective of the study was to identify symptoms of men presenting for an outpatient urology visit that prompted referral for a Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT) to assess for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by a single provider.
A retrospective cohort study. To document the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria and to characterize the resistance patterns to antibiotics among children with neurogenic bladder who require clean intermittent catheterization, with an emphasis on multidrug resistance.
Clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) responsibility among youth with spina bifida is not well-studied. We sought to determine longitudinal trajectories of CIC responsibility to examine the transition of CIC responsibility from caregiver- to self-CIC.
Urothelial dysfunction may be a key pathomechanism underlying interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). We therefore examined if clinical severity is associated with the extent of urothelial damage as revealed by electron microscopic (EM) analysis of biopsy tissue.
Glomerulations are not specific for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). Controversy exists about whether cystoscopic findings differ between patients with and without lower urinary tract symptoms.
To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a randomized controlled trial of a hypnosis intervention for the treatment of bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC) in women. We conducted a parallel arm, non-blinded, pilot randomized controlled trial of standardized hypnosis sessions including a hypnosis web tool versus usual care in adult women with BPS/IC.
