Objective: To measure detrusor muscle thickness in children with non-neuropathic bladder/sphincter dysfunction (NNBSD), and to evaluate the difference between children with various bladder dysfunctions and those with normal urodynamics.
Materials And Methods: In 139 children the urodynamic study was performed, and the detrusor of the anterior bladder wall was measured using high-frequency ultrasonography (US). Children were categorized into five groups, according to urodynamic findings. Differences in detrusor thickness between groups were tested by one-way ANOVA with post hoc Scheffé test.
Results: Forty-six children (33.1%) had normal urodynamics, and mean (+/-S.D.) detrusor thickness 1.3 +/- 0.5 mm (range 0.5-3.0). Fifty-two (37.4%) had urge syndrome, with detrusor thickness of 2 +/- 0.7 mm (1.0-3.6). Thirty-three (23.7%) had dysfunctional voiding, with detrusor thickness of 2.6 +/- 0.5 mm (1.5-3.6). Four (2.9%) had lazy bladder, with detrusor thickness of 0.9 +/- 0.1 mm (0.8-1.0), and four had anatomical infravesical obstruction, with detrusor thickness of 4.4 +/- 0.3 mm (4-4.6). The mean detrusor thickness in all children with NNBSD was 2.2 +/- 0.7 mm (range 0.8-3.6). Multiple comparisons showed significant difference between all groups, except between children with normal urodynamics and children with lazy bladder.
Conclusion: There is statistically significant difference in mean detrusor thickness between children with normal urodynamics and children with NNBSD. However, due to the overlap of measured values, it is not possible to determine the cut-off value that could be used to distinguish children with and without NNBSD.

Asthma-associated prostate enlargement and bladder smooth muscle hypercontractility: unveiling a potential link to LUTS.

Background: In male patients, benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and overactive bladder (OAB) secondary to BPH are the primary causes of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS). Recent clinical studies have reported an increased risk of LUTS, particularly severe LUTS conditions, in male asthmatic patients. However, the potential link and mechanism remain unclear.

Benign prostate hyperplasia is the leading cause of lower urinary tract symptoms due to bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in elderly male patients. The impact of prostate volume (PV) on clinical and urodynamic characteristics was evaluated in those patients with BOO requiring prostate de-obstruction maneuvers in this study. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 301 patients underwent transurethral resection of prostate due to combination with urinary retention (UR) alone and bladder stone (BS) alone.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how COVID-19 affects bladder function in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) by using sonography video urodynamic studies, a method not previously utilized for this purpose.
- Results show that BPH patients with a history of COVID-19 have a significantly higher incidence of detrusor underactivity (DU), reduced bladder muscle contractility, and thicker bladder walls compared to those without COVID-19.
- The findings suggest that COVID-19 may worsen bladder issues arising from existing conditions like BPH, indicating that DU could be a potential urodynamic marker of long-COVID.

Objective: To investigate SUI (stress urinary incontinence) and POP (pelvic organ prolapse) in women after childbirth by transperineal ultrasonography.
Methods: In this retrospective study, 107 six-week postpartum primiparous mothers and 42 healthy nulliparous women were selected during the period from January 2021 to March 2023, in Pudong New Area People's Hospital. Among the postpartum mothers, 54 delivered vaginally and 53 underwent cesarean section.
Downregulation of PIEZO2 in the Detrusor of Men With Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Its Association With Urinary Retention and Decreased Bladder Compliance.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the role of PIEZO2, a mechanotransducer, in bladder function and its possible link to lower urinary tract dysfunction in men with bladder outlet obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
- - Researchers analyzed bladder wall samples from men undergoing prostate surgery and found that PIEZO2 expression was lower in those with BPH, especially in patients experiencing urinary retention.
- - The results suggest that reduced PIEZO2 expression may contribute to bladder dysfunction in BPH patients, indicating a need for further research into its therapeutic potential.
