Article Synopsis
- Surgical manipulation of paraganglioma can trigger severe hypertensive attacks due to catecholamine release, but the specific risk factors for these attacks, particularly in rare tumors like those in the urinary bladder and retroperitoneum, were previously unclear.
- This study reviewed the cases of 32 patients diagnosed with paraganglioma over a 15-year period, focusing on factors such as mass size, patient demographics, and pre-operative symptoms to assess their relationship with hypertensive attacks during surgery.
- Results indicated that larger mass sizes were linked to a higher incidence of hypertensive attacks during surgery, with a cutoff size of 4.25 cm providing a significant predictive value; thus, surgeons should be cautious in handling larger masses to
Purpose: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of mirabegron and solifenacin in pediatric patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) and to identify factors affecting OAB symptom improvement after treatment.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 103 patients (5-15 years old) who visited our hospital with OAB symptoms between July 2017 and March 2019. All participants had received solifenacin or mirabegron.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of monosymotomatic nocturnal enuresis (MSNE) with reduced bladder capacity in children with primary nocturnal enuresis (NE) and to suggest treatment outcomes.
Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 54 children (30 males, 24 females; median age: 8; range: 5-14) who were newly diagnosed with primary NE from November 2017 to October 2019. Reduced bladder capacity in MSNE was defined when a patient's maximal voided volume (MVV) from his or her voiding diary was 75% or less than estimated functional bladder capacity ([age + 1] x 30 mL) for his or her age and there were no daytime lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) as assessed using history taking and questionnaires.
