Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in a prospective cohort of COVID-19 survivors.

Purpose: To analyze the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in patients who survived moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 and the risk factors for LUTS six months after hospitalization.

Materials And Methods: In this prospective cohort study, patients were evaluated six months after hospitalization due to COVID-19. LUTS were assessed using the International Prostate Symptom Score.

Longitudinal Improvement of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Williams-Beuren Syndrome.

Purpose: Williams-Beuren syndrome is a chromosomal disorder caused by a deletion at region 7q11.23. Lower urinary tract symptoms are highly prevalent and significantly affect quality of life.

Antibiotic prophylaxis for prevention of febrile urinary tract infections in children with vesicoureteral reflux: a meta-analysis of randomized, controlled trials comparing dilated to nondilated vesicoureteral reflux.

Purpose: The followup and treatment of children with vesicoureteral reflux has been debated for many years. Antibiotic prophylaxis has a role for preventing urinary tract infection in these children. Recent studies and guidelines suggested that prophylaxis has little or no role in preventing urinary tract infection in those children, especially those with low grades (I and II) of reflux.

Neurological status predicts response to alpha-blockers in men with voiding dysfunction and Parkinson's disease.

Objectives: To evaluate predictors of the response to doxazosin, a selective alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist, when used for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms in men with Parkinson's disease.

Methods: In a prospective study, 33 consecutive men (mean age 59.2 ± 7.

Congenital genitourinary abnormalities in children with Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Objective: Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a gene deletion on chromosome 7q11.23. Patients with WBS usually show a group of features such as developmental delay, cardiovascular anomalies, mental retardation, and characteristic facial appearance.

The effects of oxybutynin on urinary symptoms in children with Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Purpose: Williams-Beuren syndrome is a genomic disorder caused by a hemizygous contiguous gene deletion on chromosome 7q11.23. Lower urinary tract symptoms are common in children with Williams-Beuren syndrome.

Voiding dysfunction in patients with Parkinson's disease: impact of neurological impairment and clinical parameters.

Aims: We assessed the lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and their association with different clinical parameters.

Methods: We prospectively evaluated 110 patients (84 men), with a mean age of 61.8 +/- 9.

Prolonged irritative voiding symptoms due to Enterobius vermicularis bladder infestation in an adult patient.

Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm) is one of the most prevalent intestinal parasites in the world. The urinary tract is rarely affected and few cases have been reported. We report a case of bladder infestation by mature female worms of E.

Voiding dysfunction and the Williams-Beuren syndrome: a clinical and urodynamic investigation.

Purpose: WBS is an autosomal dominant disorder that includes features such as developmental delay, cardiovascular anomalies, mental retardation and characteristic facial appearance. We systematically investigated the prevalence and spectrum of voiding dysfunction in this population.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively evaluated 16 boys and 12 girls with WBS, with a mean age of 9.
