Aims: To establish normal reference values of urine flow acceleration (Q ) in healthy children, as there is a lack of nomograms for normative reference values of Q by voided volumes in the pediatric population so far. Q might be an early indicator of autonomic neuropathy in children and adolescents.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from healthy children who underwent uroflowmetry between 1990 and 1992.

Introduction: Bladder emptying abnormalities and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction are manifestations of autonomic dysfunction in people with diabetes mellitus (DM), which are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Since they can reduce the quality of life, they are urgent to be addressed before resulting in complications. As uroflowmetry might determine autonomic neuropathy earlier than cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction symptoms occur, our aim is to detect early abnormalities in bladder muscle function in children with DM.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on detecting urodynamic changes in diabetic women before any cystopathy symptoms appear.
  • Ten studies involving 2,342 diabetic women were analyzed, revealing various urodynamic parameters like lower voided volume and slower bladder function metrics.
  • The findings suggest that diabetic women have different urodynamic profiles, including larger postvoid residual volumes and increased bladder sensation, compared to healthy women.

BACKGROUND Prolonged fever in pediatric patients is often a diagnostic challenge. Clinicians tend to associate prolonged fever with COVID-19-related diseases in patients with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Here we present a patient who was admitted with a clinical suspicion of multi-inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and was finally diagnosed with a renal abscess.
