... of the lower urinary tract, known as urodynamic study (UDS). Taking into account that UI is a symptom originating in the lower urinary tract, belonging to the disorders of the micturition cycle filling phase, the normal function of urethra has a major role in ensuring the proper mechanism of continence...

...Chendrimada Madhu; Doyo Enki; Marcus J. Drake; Hashim Hashim The aim of the study was to evaluate the urodynamic findings in women who smoke cigarettes, with bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms, to help develop an understanding of potential impact of smoking on the lower urinary tract function...

..., skeletal and urinary systems are the most affected. The aim of this study was to clinically evaluate patients with MMC, estimate renal and lower urinary tract (LUT) function and to ascertain whether urodynamic findings can predict the deterioration of urinary tract function. Materials and Methods: Medical...

...Paulo Rodrigues; Flávio Hering; Eli Cieli; Marcio DʼImperio; João Carlos Campagnari Aims: Involuntary Detrusor Contraction (IDC) may alter therapeutic plans; therefore, urodynamic demonstration (UD) is pivotal. We explore if same session repetitions enhance its demonstration and minimize false...

...Paulo Rodrigues; Flávio Hering; João Carlos Campagnari Objective: To evaluate different patterns of after-contraction (A-C) waves detected during urodynamic evaluation in women. Patients and Methods: 4,110 women were prospectively observed regarding the presence of A-C waves upon urodynamic...

... urodynamic evaluations with an additional ice water test to maximize the detection of involuntary detrusor contraction (IDC) were used. Stress urinary incontinence cases were used as controls. Nonparametric univariate and multivariate analyses were used for statistics. Results: IDC was detected in 83.6...

...V.J. Gnanapragasam; A. Leonard Objective: Palliative transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) is the mainstay of treatment for lower urinary tract symptoms, (LUTS) in men with prostate cancer. Functional outcomes, however, can often be unsatisfactory. Here the value of preoperative urodynamics...

...A.A.R. Abdel Hafez; E. Ali Salah; D. Rohrmann; G. Jakse We record a case of a 37-year-old female with acute viral encephalitis, frequency and urgency incontinence. Video urodynamics showed small bladder capacity, sensory urgency, high residual urine and a Christmas tree appearance of the bladder...

... urinary diversions and different continence mechanisms were followed up by clinical investigation, questioning and urodynamic evaluation. The latter showed similar results with regard to efferent loop pressure. The best results concerning easy catheterization and safe continence are reached by appendix...
