We compared the urethral and cardiovascular effects of silodosin (selective alpha(1A)-adrenoceptor antagonist), a novel medication for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with those of tamsulosin (selective alpha(1A)/alpha(1D)-adrenoceptor antagonist) and naftopidil (selective alpha(1D)-adrenoceptor antagonist). We evaluated the effects of these three drugs on the increase in intraurethral pressure (IUP) induced by electrical stimulation of the hypogastric nerve in anesthetized dogs with spontaneous BPH. All three drugs dose-dependently reduced both the increase in IUP and the mean blood pressure (MBP). The rank order of potencies was tamsulosin>silodosin>naftopidil for the reductions in both IUP and MBP. However, the uroselectivity (ED(15) value for hypotensive effect/ID(50) value for reduction in IUP) of silodosin (uroselectivity, 19.8) was about 21 and 4 times higher than that of tamsulosin (0.939) and naftopidil (4.94), respectively. These data suggest that silodosin might be one of the most useful medications for dysuria in BPH patients.

THE RELIABILITY OF URODYNAMIC ASSESSMENT IN CONFIRMATION OF STRESS URINARY INCONTINENCE IN RELATION TO BONNEY TEST.
Acta Clin Croat

Division of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Dr Josip Benčević General Hospital, Slavonski Brod, Croatia.
According to the International Continence Society, stress (static) urinary incontinence is defined as any involuntary loss of urine on effort or physical exertion, due to which intravesical pressure overcomes urethral pressure, with no detrusor activity. Urodynamic testing accurately assesses the function of the bladder and urethra. The urodynamic assessment includes three tests: cystometry, uroflowmetry and profilometry (determination of urethral pressure profile).

Stress urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine during increased abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. It can have a significant negative impact on a person's quality of life and can result in decreased physical activity and social isolation. The presented closure mechanism for a mechatronic intraurethral artificial urinary sphincter is designed to be inserted minimally invasive into the urethra.

Purpose: We prospectively assessed the ability of a novel transurethral catheterization safety valve to prevent urethral catheter balloon injury in a multi-institutional clinical setting.
Materials And Methods: A prospective, multi-institution study was conducted. The safety valve was introduced for urinary catheterization in 6 hospital groups (4 in Ireland; 2 in the UK).
Intraurethral Instillation of Ketamine and Lidocaine versus Lidocaine for Male Rigid Cystoscopy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background Male rigid cystoscopy is one of the most common outpatient procedures in urology because of it lower cost, better optical area and better orientation compared with flexible devices. However, performing rigid cystoscopy is not only painful but equally apprehensive in awake male patients. Objective The study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of lidocaine gel and ketamine solution together compared with lidocaine gel alone during male rigid cystoscopy.
