French clinical guidelines for peripheral motor nerve blocks in a PRM setting.

Introduction: Motor nerve blocks with anesthetic drug for local anesthesia are commonly used in physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM), especially in the field of spasticity. Guidelines in this context are currently lacking.

Method: Eighteen experts selected on the basis of their recognized experience by the scientific committees of the French PRM (SOFMER) and Anesthesia and Intensive care (SFAR) societies were invited to work and propose guidelines for the use of loco-regional anesthetic drug for motor nerve blocks in PRM setting.

Early clindamycin for bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy (PREMEVA): a multicentre, double-blind, randomised controlled trial.

Background: Preterm delivery during pregnancy (<37 weeks' gestation) is a leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Treating bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy can reduce poor outcomes, such as preterm birth. We aimed to investigate whether treatment of bacterial vaginosis decreases late miscarriages or spontaneous very preterm birth.

Decrease in post-stroke spasticity and shoulder pain prevalence over the last 15 years.

Objectives: The usual complications after recent stroke such as disabling spasticity and shoulder pain seemed less frequent in recent years. This study examined the frequency of spasticity and shoulder pain in recent post-stroke patients over time in our physical and rehabilitation medicine department.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of post-stroke inpatients over the last 15 years.

Intervertebral disc and vertebral endplate subchondral changes associated with Modic 1 changes of the lumbar spine: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Modic 1 changes are usually associated with degenerative disc disease (DDD). We aimed to compare Modic 1 changes with advanced degenerative disc disease (>50%-intervertebral space narrowing [IVSN]) to Modic 1 changes with less advanced lumbar degenerative disc disease (≤50%-IVSN).

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study.

Lack of repercussions of sleep apnea syndrome on recovery and attention disorders at the subacute stage after stroke: a study of 45 patients.

Introduction: Sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) frequently occurs after a stroke. Its association with a poor prognosis is open to discussion.

Objective: To study, in a physical and rehabilitation medicine (PRM) unit, the possible repercussions of SAS on neurological and functional recovery as well as attentional abilities following a stroke.

Intermittent catheterization difficulty questionnaire (ICDQ): A new tool for the evaluation of patient difficulties with clean intermittent self-catheterization.

Aims: Once a catheterization technique has been learned and acquired, psychological barriers have been overcome and a specific catheter has been selected, a patient will need to use clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) on a long-term basis. Over this long period of time, several technical or anatomical difficulties and local complications may be observed. The aim of this study was to construct and validate a specific test, referred to as the ICDQ (intermittent catheterization difficulty questionnaire), in order to evaluate and quantify patients' difficulties during CISC.

[Lazy bladder syndrome: review of 126 cases].

Purpose: The lazy bladder syndrome (LBS) is characterized by an infrequent voiding, a large bladder capacity without neurological or urological disorders. In spite of being relatively common, there is little literature about it. The aim of our study was to compare the clinical features and urodynamic findings in asymptomatic or symptomatic patients with lazy bladder syndrome.

[Bacterial ecology and resistance to antibiotics in patients with neurogenic overactive bladder treated with intravesical botulinum toxin injections].

Introduction: For the last ten years, botulinum neurotoxin type A has become the gold standard for the treatment of neurogenic overactive detrusor. Bacterial colonization is common for these patients using clean intermittent self-catheterization, and toxin injections are at risk of urinary tract infections.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of different germs and their resistance to antibiotics in patients with neurogenic bladder, treated with intravesical botulinum toxin injections.

Validation of the InCaSaQ, a new tool for the evaluation of patient satisfaction with clean intermittent self-catheterization.

Aims: In neurourology, the choice of catheter is of paramount importance. At the time of our study, no simple validated questionnaire has been published, evaluating patient satisfaction with the use of urinary catheters. Our objective was to construct and validate a specific tool referred to as the Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire (InCaSaQ), for the purposes of evaluating patient satisfaction with intermittent self-catheterization.

Influence of a distraction task on pelvic floor muscle contraction.

Aims: Attention may play a key role in the contraction of pelvic floor muscles in stressful situations, meaning that mental distraction may be involved in urinary incontinence.

Methods: Informed consent was obtained from 20 healthy volunteers. The electromyographic (EMG) activity of the external anal sphincter (EAS) was recorded during voluntary contraction elicited by local stimulation.

[Micturition and cognition].

Purpose: The physiopathology of the voiding and urinary continence was one of the hot topic of research these last few years. Unfortunately, anyone have already found a unique cause which could explain urinary incontinence (urge or stress). The concept of cognitive function highlights new ways of research to show the fundamental role of the cortex and the sub-cortex in these diseases.

[Autonomic nervous system alteration in multiple sclerosis patients with urinary symptoms. Clinical, urodynamic and cardiovascular study].

Objective: To assess symptoms related to autonomic nervous system alteration in a population of patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) and presenting with urinary symptoms.

Patients And Methods: We investigated 65 patients (mean age 47.5 years) suffering from MS, and presenting with urological dysfunction by means of symptom scores, urodynamic investigation, cardiovascular autonomic function tests (orthostatic hypotension testing, Valsalva test, deep breath test, cold pressor test) and sympathetic skin responses.

[Severe neonatal acidosis: comparison and analysis of obstetrical practices in two French perinatal centers].

Objectives: To identify and compare risk factors for severe neonatal acidosis, defined by an umbilical artery pH inferior to 7.00, and clinical practices in two different perinatal centers.

Patients And Methods: In a retrospective study, from 2003 to 2008, in two university perinatal centers (Poitiers and Saint-Antoine in Paris) on all term pregnancies complicated by severe neonatal acidosis (umbilical artery pH<7.

Need to void and attentional process interrelationships.

Objectives: To determine whether a strong urge to void could affect a person's attentional performance. To determine whether an attentional task could decrease a strong urge to void a prospective study was performed.

Subjects And Methods: Healthy adults were asked to perform two neuropsychological tests, the modified Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (mPASAT) and the Psychology Experiment Building Language Continuous Performance Test (pCPT), under two different conditions: no need to void, and a strong urge to void defined by a score of >70/100 mm on a visual analogue scale.

[Comparison between autonomic nervous system cardiovascular tests (ANSCVT) and lacrymal and or salivary secretion tests (LSST) in overactive bladder syndrome and voiding dysfunction].

Purpose: To compare autonomic nervous system cardiovascular tests (ANSCVT) and lacrymal and or salivary secretion tests (LSST).

Method: One hundred and twenty-four patients (57 females, 67 males, mean age 45) with lower urinary tract symptoms (overactive bladder syndrome or voiding dysfunction) without neurogenic or urological causes, were included. Urodynamic was performed in all the patients with LSST (saliva flowmetry-sialometry [SFS], candy weight-loss test [CWT], Schirmer test [SchT]) and ANSCVT (ratio 30:15, orthostatic hypotension analysis, deep breath test [DBT], Valsalva maneuver [VM], cold pressor test [CPT] and hand grip test [HGT]).

Posterior vaginal wall pull down maneuver: a clinical test to diagnose intrinsic sphincter deficiency in women suffering from genuine urinary stress incontinence.

Objectives: To assess the predictive value of a simple clinical test (posterior vaginal wall pull down maneuver) in the diagnosis of intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

Methods: The present prospective study included 62 women suffering from stress urinary incontinence. Every patient underwent a urogynecological examination including multichannel urodynamic testing (cystometry, urethral pressure profile, Valsalva Leak Point Pressure measurement) and a clinical examination including posterior vaginal wall pull down maneuver.

Correlation between voiding dysfunction symptoms and uroflowmetry in women suffering from stress urinary incontinence.

Objectives: To determine whether the completion of a voiding dysfunction (VD) questionnaire could have a good predictive value for uroflowmetry findings, in a population of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) women.

Materials And Methods: From a urodynamic database of 415 SUI women, 93 with isolated SUI who underwent urodynamic investigations were eligible for this study. Patients with obvious etiologies of obstruction were excluded.
