Abstract Purpose To establish the first age‐ and gender‐specific nomograms for single two consecutive tests post‐void residual urine (PVR). Material Methods Healthy children aged 4–12 years were enrolled sets of uroflowmetry PVR. The PVR lower value PVRs each child with a voided volume ≥50 ml included construction Single‐ Dual‐PVR nomograms. Children possible urinary tract infection or dysfunctions excluded. Results Limitations Totally, 1,128 (583 boys 545 girls) mean age 7.7 ± 2.2 eligible...

ABSTRACT Aim Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by early increased beta‐amyloid (Aβ) and decreased cerebrovascular reactivity. We investigated Aβ in gingiva, serum or hippocampus neurovascular reactivity basilar artery (BA) of periodontitis rats, to test the impact on BA vasoreactivity ex vivo. Materials Methods Periodontitis was induced 32 rats using silk‐ligation. Rats were sacrificed at weeks 0, 1, 2 4. Gingival TNF‐α, IL‐1β quantified via immunoblotting. Alveolar bone...

Purpose We hypothesized that by correcting for volume and creating a flow index (FI) we could develop reproducible reliable means to estimate flows in children without the use of nomogram. Our second hypothesis was this corrected FI define objective parameters different curves are described ICCS document. Methods Uroflowmetry 1,268 healthy were analyzed. Quadratic equations using nonlinear regression both sexes generated each set presumed normal voiders (learning data) (NV). The NV test data...

Purpose: The aim of this study is to report the outcomes infants with febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) and their associations various risk factors. Materials methods: This a retrospective ≤2-year-old recurrent UTIs who underwent voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) in 2 referral hospitals from April 2011 May 2020. Physical examinations included neurological external genital examination. Four-hour observation was performed, postvoid residual volumes were recorded. Intermittent during...

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) is a complex condition associated with overactivity, reduced bladder compliance, and high intravesical pressures, potentially leading to urinary tract infections (UTIs) renal impairment. This retrospective study evaluated the safety potential efficacy of botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) injections in children NDO at single institution. Eighteen pediatric patients (median age: 8.1 years) were followed for median 6.3 years. At follow-up, 77.8% achieved global...

Aims To investigate the association between obesity and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in healthy children. Methods Healthy community children (5–12 years) were enrolled to evaluate LUTS voiding function, classified by body mass index as being of normal weight, overweight, or obese. A questionnaire was completed one parent each child included baseline characteristics, Dysfunctional Voiding Symptom Score, obstructive sleep apnea-related symptoms, stressful events, nocturnal enuresis...

We report the effects of bladder over distention on pediatric voiding function.We enrolled healthy kindergarten children (mean age 4.5 +/- 1.0 years) for 2 observations uroflowmetry and post-void residual urine. Additional were requested if voided volume was less than 50% expected capacity. Post-void assessed within 5 minutes after voiding. A more 20 ml is regarded as increased. Bladder capacity defined plus shown percentage The curves categorized bell-shaped or nonbell-shaped.Among 188 355...

To report the relationship between ages initiating toilet training for urinary continence (TTU) and bladder function in healthy kindergarteners.In 3 years, we evaluated status 318 kindergarteners. Children with congenital anomaly, neurological disorder, or developmental disability were excluded. A parent completed questionnaire including age at initiation duration of TTU, current daytime nighttime continence, attaining frequency defecation Bristol Stool Scale. All children underwent...

To report the cut-off value for large voided volume (LVV) suggestive of abnormal uroflow pattern or elevated post-void residual urine (PVR) in healthy kindergarteners.From 2003 through 2008, we enrolled 417 kindergarten children evaluation uroflowmetry tests and PVR. The curves were interpreted if volumes (VV) >50 ml, categorized as bell-shaped, staccato, plateau, interrupted. Only bell-shaped normal. After 2006, PVR was assessed within 5 min after each voiding with a VV ml. A >20 ml is...

Abstract Purpose To investigate the association between constipation and results of uroflowmetry with post‐void residual urine (PVR) tests in healthy children. Materials Methods We enrolled children aged 4 12 years for evaluation voiding defecation function. A parent completed questionnaire, were asked to do PVR. Constipation is defined as frequency ≤2 times/week or type 1–2 stool forms on Bristol scale. Uroflowmetry curve PVR eligible analysis if voided volume was 50 ml expected capacity...

We compared safety and surgical outcomes in patients with different prostate sizes treated diode laser enucleation of the prostate.From 2008 to 2012 consecutive benign prostatic obstruction undergoing at our institution were enrolled for analysis. A single surgeon performed an end firing, continuous wave (980 nm). Based on preoperative volume transrectal ultrasound, stratified into 2 groups, including group 1-65 less than 60 ml 2-55 or greater. Baseline perioperative characteristics,...
