Purpose: We determined whether swallowing has an effect on the degree of urinary urgency and on the amplitude of detrusor contraction during filling cystometry in patients with detrusor overactivity.
Materials And Methods: Included in study were 20 consecutive patients with detrusor overactivity. During urodynamics the mean peak pressure of each contraction was documented and compared. At the beginning of wave 2 patients were asked to perform 5 repetitive swallows. After each wave patients were asked to grade the severity of urgency on a visual analog scale.
Results: The mean ± SD peak of the detrusor contraction was 39 ± 15 vs 95 ± 26 cm H(2)O with vs without swallowing (p <0.01). All patients reported that during swallowing the degree of urgency decreased. The mean visual analog scale score for urgency was significantly lower during repetitive swallowing than without swallowing (mean 3.4 ± 1.5 vs 7.7 ± 2.2, p <0.01).
Conclusions: The repetitive swallowing maneuver inhibits urinary urgency and detrusor overactivity. The maneuver can be used during bladder training program or when micturition is not desirable.

Recoverability of Bladder Function in Patients With Defunctionalized Bladder and Live-Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Transplant Proc
December 2024
Urology and Nephrology Center, Mansoura University, Mansoura, Egypt.
Background: The purpose of this article was to assess the recoverability of bladder, in a subset of patients with uremia, planned for live-donor kidney transplantation.
Methods: Patients referred to the Voiding Dysfunction Unit for evaluation, prior to transplantation, were included in this study during the period 2004 to 2008 in a single institution with a track record in live-donor transplantation. Defunctionalized bladder was defined as patients with complete anuria or oliguria for at least 6 months.

Objectives: To observe the effect of ginger-salt-partitioned moxibustion on ATP-sensitive potassium (K) channel of bladder in detrusor overactivity (DO) rats.
Methods: Female SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation, model, moxibustion and antagonist groups (=9 in each group). Thorax (T) 10 spinal cord transection was performed by surgery.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the effect of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) on bladder dysfunction in rats with spinal cord injury, focusing on its mechanism during the bladder-areflexia phase.
- It uses various methods like physiological measurements, staining techniques, and urodynamic tests to assess SNM's impact on bladder health and inflammation.
- Results indicate that early SNM enhances bladder capacity and efficiency while preventing urothelial edema, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits for neurogenic bladder dysfunction without major adverse effects.

Study Design: This study is a randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled trial with a non-inferiority design.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of neuromodulation by transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the somatic afferent nerves of the foot in neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) and compare its effectiveness with oral oxybutynin.
Setting: The study was conducted in a rehabilitation in-patient ward of a tertiary care hospital.
Efficacy in Using Urodynamic Parameters of Intravesical Electrical Stimulation for Detrusor Underactivity.
Urol Res Pract
March 2024
Division of Urology, Department of Surgery, Persahabatan General Hospital - Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Objective: Intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) remains a controversial therapy for detrusor underactivity (DUA). The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of IVES in patients with DUA using pre- and post-IVES urodynamic parameters.
Methods: Intravesical electrical stimulation procedure is performed using a specific catheter equipped with an internal electrical electrode (cathode).
