(UroToday.com) At the American Urological Association (AUA)’s Drug Development in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) From Scientific, Regulatory, Clinician, and Patient Perspectives 2021 virtual meeting, Dr. Joaquim Bellmunt discussed ways to identify patients with high-risk NMIBC that should undergo immediate cystectomy. Dr. Bellmunt notes that the AUA guidelines suggest that a patient with high-grade T1 disease on […]
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children and require appropriate diagnostic evaluation, management and follow-up. To provide a summary of the updated European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines on Pediatric Urology, which were first published in 2015 in European Urology.
This single-blind, randomised controlled trial was aimed at determining whether peri-operative physiotherapist-supervised pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training was superior to standard care (handout) in terms of improvements in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms, cure rate, and/or post-operative filling or voiding symptoms among women undergoing surgical mid-urethral sling (MUS) insertion for SUI.
The Elevate™ Anterior mesh was designed to correct anterior vaginal wall defects by providing level 1 and 2 support via a single incision and transvaginal approach. This study aimed to examine the objective and subjective outcomes following prolapse repair using the Elevate™ Anterior mesh kit.
Abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM) changes are correlated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The ECM components versican (Vcan) and hyaluronan (HA) play key roles in regulating tissue inflammation and maintaining connective tissue homeostasis.
A selective b3-adrenoceptor agonist, mirabegron, an established alternative to antimuscarinic therapy for patients with overactive bladder (OAB), has been shown to induce additional effects against receptors, transporters, and hepatic enzymes.
Detrusor underactivity (DU) is diagnosed using urodynamic testing. We hypothesized that nocturia is associated with detrusor underactivity. We performed a retrospective chart review of all women who underwent urodynamic testing at our institution between 2016 and 2018.
Both detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction are the common causes of chronic urinary retention. Some novel treatment approaches focus on modulating micturition reflex and external urethral sphincter (EUS) function.
Online survey distributed to healthcare professionals (HCPs) involved in care of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). Identify and bring awareness to the variation of neurogenic bladder management in around the world.
To prove the benefits of pelvic floor muscle training with biofeedback (BFB) as a complementary treatment in women with bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). Prospective, randomized study in 123 women with BPS/IC.
