To determine the significance of delta Q value (Qmax - Qave) in discrimination between BOO and DU, to avoid invasive studies (pressure flow studies (PFSs)) and replace them with noninvasive study (uroflowmetry).
Women with symptoms of voiding dysfunction may be associated with detrusor underactivity or bladder outlet obstruction. However, the prevalence of detrusor underactivity and bladder outlet obstruction remained obscure. Thus, the aim of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of detrusor underactivity and bladder outlet obstruction in women with and without symptoms of voiding dysfunction.
Women with symptoms of voiding dysfunction may be associated with detrusor underactivity (DU) or bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). The treatment strategies are different between DU and BOO. In general, urodynamic/videourodynamic studies are important for differential diagnosis. However, urodynamic/videourodynamic studies are invasive. The investigators are interested in whether there were specific symptoms or measurements that can be used for initial differential diagnosis between DU and BOO. Thus, the aim of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of DU and BOO in each age group and elucidate the clinical and urodynamic differences between the DU, BOO and non-DU/BOO groups.
Women with cystocele may be associated with detrusor underactivity (DU) or bladder outlet obstruction (BOO). However, the impact of cystocele repair on the rates of DU and BOO remained obscure. Thus, the aim of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of DU and BOO in each age group and elucidate the impact of cystocele repair on the rates of DU and BOO.
Prevalence rates of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and detrusor underactivity (DU) and their related clinical and urodynamic findings in women with ≥ pelvic organ prolapse quantification stage II cystocele are important for clinical consultation. Thus, the aim of this study was to elucidate the above findings and between-group associations.
To provide evidence of promising tests to noninvasively diagnose bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. 1. Penile cuff test provides a means of obtaining a urodynamic diagnosis with a high level of accuracy without the morbidity and expense of invasive Pressure flow study. 2. Penile cuff test may be particularly useful in the counseling of patients prior to benign prostatic hyperplasia operation. Patients diagnosed as obstructed following a penile cuff test can be reassured that surgery has a high chance of resulting in symptomatic benefit
This study is a prospective randomized, open label, controlled, double arm, post-marketing study to compare the treatment efficacy of first-line antimuscarinics and α-blockers monotherapy for men with moderate to severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) (International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS-T) ≥8) and IPSS voiding-to-storage subscore ratio (IPSS-V/S) ≤1.
Urgency, frequency and incomplete emptying are the key symptoms of lower urinary tract dysfunction, including bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, and overactive bladder syndrome. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is associated with cellular stress, leading to changes in gene expression and consequent organ remodeling. MicroRNAs are small regulatory molecules, affecting protein synthesis. They are quickly winning recognition as potential therapeutic agents. The investigators will perform a comparative study of mRNAs changed in lower urinary tract dysfunction and address the role of differentially expressed miRNAs in regulation of the genes, important for bladder function. The experimental approach, combining the analysis of human biopsy material with the in vitro cell-based models, will allow the investigators to elucidate the effects of miRNAs on the expression of receptors, contractile proteins and tight junction proteins. Once the disease-induced miRNAs have been characterised and their target genes validated, it will be possible to influence their expression levels thus counter-acting their effects. The investigators' work addresses fundamental mechanisms of signal transduction in urothelium and smooth muscle during cellular stress caused by inflammation or bladder outlet obstruction, and its regulation in the diseased state. The investigators' findings will further the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of lower urinary tract dysfunction and have implications for diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, they have relevance for other clinical conditions, where miRNAs are implicated.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of MediTate Temporary Implantable Nitinol Device (TIND) used to alleviate symptoms of Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO) secondary to Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH).The TIND is inserted in the bladder neck and prostatic urethra under local anesthesia for few days and taken out some 5 days later in the doctors office.
