Article Synopsis
- * A total of 1,886 women were analyzed, revealing that 10% had DU and 4.1% had BOO, with positive voiding dysfunction (VD) symptoms being significant indicators for BOO.
- * The research suggested that a non-invasive uroflowmetry measuring a voided volume of 220 mL or less, combined with the presence of VD symptoms, can effectively predict BOO, while both age and voided volume can predict DU.
Objective: To examine the effect of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocking therapy on hypoxia in vivo, macroscopic and microscopic inflammation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results in patients with inflammatory arthritis.
Methods: Patients with inflammatory arthritis (n = 20) underwent full clinical assessment, arthroscopy, synovial biopsy, and MRI before and after initiation of biologic therapy. Macroscopic synovitis/vascularity was assessed with a visual analog scale, and tissue PO(2) (tPO(2) ) was measured at arthroscopy using a Licox probe.
