A double-blind, randomized controlled trial of cystometry using saline versus 0.3 M potassium chloride infusion in women with overactive bladder syndrome.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of 0.3 M potassium chloride on cystometric parameters by comparing it with normal saline as a filling solution in women with overactive bladder (OAB).

Patients And Methods: Twenty-three women with significant OAB symptoms underwent consecutive cystometrograms (CMGs) using 0.

Interstitial cystitis versus detrusor overactivity: a comparative, randomized, controlled study of cystometry using saline and 0.3 M potassium chloride.

Purpose: We compared cystometric findings in interstitial cystitis and detrusor overactivity using 0.3 M KCl and 0.9% normal saline.

Degree vs diploma education: increased value to practice.

Graduate education for nursing and midwifery has been debated for some years, with current opinion in favour of at least an increase in degree provision (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), 1999). The professions as well as consumers and purchasers of nursing and midwifery education need to be sure, however, that they are getting "added value" with the graduate practitioner. Educationalists identify "critical thinking" as the level that distinguishes diploma from graduate preparation.
