Comparison of Body and Room Temperature Saline in Urodynamics
Urinary IncontinenceThe purpose of this study is to compare first urge, strong urge, and maximum capacity, and perception of discomfort during urodynamic testing between room temperature and body temperate saline. Twenty-four non-pregnant females referred to the urogynecology clinic for bladder testing will be enrolled into the study. Each patient will serve as her own control, undergoing the bladder testing with both room temperature and body temperature saline.
Prevalence of Urinary Incontinence in Different Age Categories
Urinary IncontinenceIntroduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is considered erroneously by many as being a phenomenon of the aging process, however there is a growing prevalence of complaints of UI in nulliparous and nulligest young women. Objective: To investigate the prevalence of urinary incontinence in women of different age groups. Method: 78 nulliparous and nulligest women of different resident age groups in the city of France, being these divided in: G1 (10-18 years); G2 (20-35 years); G3 (45-60 years) and G4 (65-75 years). Excluded from this study were women with cancer or surgeries of the inferior urinary treatment, urinary infection, alterations cognitive, pregnant and obesity. All the participants were questioned as a perception of urine loss, to the efforts or effortlessly evident.
Screening for Urinary Incontinence by Primary Care Providers
Urinary IncontinenceThe purpose of this study is to: Assess the rate of screening for urinary incontinence (UI) in women by their primary care providers Identify the type of screening used by primary care providers Identify barriers to screening for UI Identify differences in screening rates between specialties Assess whether primary care providers view UI as a serious medical problem Assess the comfort level of primary care providers in the diagnosis and treatment of UI Identify primary care providers' preferred mode of learning more about UI
Incidence of Short-term Urinary Retention After Fascial Retropubic Sling: Prospective and Randomized...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceUrinary Retention Postoperative1 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of short-term urinary retention and the cure rate in patients with stress urinary incontinence undergoing surgical treatment with fascial pubovaginal sling with two tension adjustment techniques: the classic adjustment technique ("2 fingers") and measuring the distance between the fixation knot and the aponeurosis of 4 cm.
Risk Factors for Failure After Single-incision Sling Procedure in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence...
Stress Urinary IncontinenceThe main risk factors for failure after single-incision slings are reduced urethral mobility and stress urinary incontinence severity in long-term follow-up.
Transperineal Ultrasonography in Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress Urinary IncontinencePelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI) are common female disorders. Accurate diagnosis of the aetiology of pelvic organ descent and prolapse with or without accompanying urination disorders is essential for appropriate therapeutic management. Imaging and functional urodynamic testing are being increasingly used in the diagnosis of this pathology, because precise assessment of the damage to the supporting and ligament apparatus is essential for therapeutic success. Pelvic floor ultrasound can facilitate dynamic assessment of static changes that occur during functional tests. Such assessments can provide additional insights into existing defects, which have explorative value and allow for targeted correction of damage, and may thus indirectly contribute to reduced rates of revision surgeries.

Transient Urinary Incontinence After Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (HoLEP)
Prostatic HyperplasiaIncontinenceIn men, urinary incontinence (UI) is relatively uncommon, and usually associated with some forms of prostate surgery. Thus, one of the risks of surgery for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is postoperative UI. The guidelines of the American Urological Association for BPH treatment indicate that UI (2~5%) is relevant complications after transurethral prostatectomy (TURP). Rassweiler et al., based on a review of publications stated that early UI may occur in up to 30-40% of patients after TURP. Rigatti et al. reported that early postoperative urgency UI occurred in 38.6% (TURP) and 44% (holmium laser enucleation of the prostate; HoLEP) of surgically treated patients at 1-month after the surgery. Recently, the follow-up data for patients treated with HoLEP showed that transient stress UI developed in up to 44% after HoLEP. Although this alternative surgical treatment such as HoLEP can be performed safely with minimal complications, patients often face debilitating UI during the postoperative period before any improvement in micturition parameters occurs. Although this symptom ameliorates within a relatively short time, it usually cause significant stress and anxiety to the patient as far as their durations is concerned. In addition to its economic cost, UI is a distressing condition that has major impacts on a patient's quality of life. Social withdrawal, isolation, and depression occur in some patients. Because this problem is usually temporary, there has been little attempt at addressing the issue. Therefore, there has been no research devoted specifically to transient de novo UI associated with HoLEP. 1. The aim of the present study was following: to investigate the incidence of transient de novo UI after HoLEP for BPH determine the predictors of early postoperative transient de novo UI.
Examining Bladder Control Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI)...
Urinary IncontinenceUrgeUrgency incontinence (where the bladder muscles contract suddenly, causing an immediate urge to urinate that is difficult to prevent) is commonly experienced in patients with overactive bladder. New findings have discovered that urgency incontinence may be connected to the interactions of certain regions of the brain and the bladder. Although this is a common problem, researchers still do not know how these interactions impact the process of urgency incontinence. The purpose of this study is to better understand how the brain functions, by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine and Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) to create images of the brain during different bladder states.
