Visceral Adiposity Index and Overactive Bladder
Visceral Adiposity IndexIn present study, we aimed to investigate the association between visceral adiposity index and overactive bladder symptoms in female patients aged over 18 years.Between January-2015 and July-2017, 151 female patient with overactive bladder symptoms were evaluated in Recep Tayyip Erdogan University Training and Research Hospital Urology Department. Antropometric and laboratory features including serum lipid levels, AST, ALT, fasting glucose levels, and also urodynamic findings were recorded. Visceral adiposity index was calculated according to gender-specific formula. Participants were divided into two groups according to 7,55 cut-off level for visceral adiposity index levels. Statistical significance were discussed between two groups.
Tactile Imaging and Electromyography
Urinary IncontinenceOveractive BladderUrinary incontinence (UI) and overactive bladder (OAB) in women has high prevalence which is increasing with the age. In adults aged 40 and older in the US demonstrated prevalence rate of 27.2% among man and 43.1% among women, respectively. Urine Incontinence was reported to affect 15% of women ages 40 to 49, 25% ages 60 to 69, and 38% of women age 80 and older.

AQUA: Anticholinergic Side Effects QUestionnAire
Overactive BladderOveractive bladder syndrome (OAB) is very frequent and increase with age. Antimuscarinics allows improvement for OAB symptoms, quality of life and urodynamic parameters. However, antimuscarinics adherence is poor and anticholinergic drugs are often withdrawn few months after their introduction. This low adherence to antimuscarinics can be explained by side effects as dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation or cognitive impairment which are due to systemic anticholinergic effects since specificity and receptor affinity of bladder antimuscarinics are poor with a large distribution of acetylcholine receptors in all the body. Unfortunately, there is no questionnaires which evaluate side effects or constraints. The objective of the study is to develop and validate a new questionnaire to assess side effects of antimuscarinic treatment in a patient with OAB. The study was conducted in a Neuro-urology Department of a University Hospital. To allow a full psychometric validation of the questionnaire, the study protocol included 3 steps: qualitative interviews, feasibility study and validation study. The inclusion criteria were to be aged > 18 years and to have OAB symptoms according to the ICS definition and secondary to a neurogenic dysfunction. First step of the study consisted in a review literature on Pubmed to explore the different side effects secondary to antimuscarinic treatment and do determine which tools were available. In addition, we conducted semi-structured interviews on 30 patients suffering from OAB. For this feasibility study, 30 patients were included. They had to rate each item to evaluate comprehension, acceptation and pertinence with a three-points Likert scale from response "0: not at all or quite" to "2: perfectly". Validation study: 100 patients Content validity was assessed by the panel of experts. Internal consistency reliability was calculated using the α coefficient of Cronbach. Each response has been transformed in a numeric value to perform this test. Alpha coefficient of Cronbach was considered as very good if > 0.7. Test-retest reliability was tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) which was significant over 0.7. Objective was to validate this questionnaire with good or very good psychometric properties. Primary outcome was Alpha coefficient of Cronbach and ICC ≥ 0,7.

Overactive Bladder Syndrome
Overactive Bladder SyndromeEnuresis1 morePurpose: A lot of etiological factors related to overactive bladder (OAB) has been investigated. However, the role of primary nocturnal enuresis (NE), which is characterized with childhood night time incontinence, in the etiology of OAB is controversial. This study aims to evaluate the effect of NE in patients diagnosed with OAB. Metod Between january-september 2021, the data of patients who applied to the urology outpatientclinic with OAB symptoms were collected. Patients with a history of chronic systemic disease, previous medical treatment for OAB and who did not accept to join the study were excluded. According to the diagnosis of childhood NE, patients were divided into two groups. Demographic data hav been recorded. Frequency of incontinence, number of day time void and nocturia were evaluated according to a 3 day voiding diary. Inaddition, max. Urinary flowr atio (Qmax), bladder Wall thickness and postvoid residual volüme rates were determined using uroflowmetry and pelvic ultrasound.

Overactive BladderInsulin ResistanceMillions of women suffer from overactive bladder, and the changes in bladder function affect their quality of life. The study team believes that it needs to be better understand why women get overactive bladder in the first place so that better treatments can eventually be offered. The purpose of this study is to determine why women with insulin resistance are more likely to get overactive bladder. Overactive bladder is a type of bladder control problem that can cause some women to have bladder leakage. This problem is more common in women with diabetes and pre-diabetes, but it isn't known why.
