Objective: To evaluate in a rabbit experimental model a mechanism of continence of catheterizable urinary conduits (CUC), focusing on the behavior of intersected rectal muscle fibers in relation to the channel by histological and histochemical analysis, and secondarily to register conduit continence rates from clinical and urodynamic data.
Materials And Methods: 12 rabbits were submitted to construction of a CUC from two abdominal skin flaps and divided into two groups: 8 with a urinary neo-sphincter created according to Yachia and 4 controls. We registered clinical outcome, urodynamic studies and microscopic analysis of CUC on the surface of the conduit, which was in direct contact with the mechanism of continence. We took muscle samples from the mechanisms of continence and performed histochemical evaluation by enzymatic reactions.
Results: Histological evaluation of the CUC showed no difference between groups. Histology and immunohistochemistry of the muscle fibers showed that areas of necrosis, cell atrophy and motor neuron injury from the first eight weeks recovered by the end of 16th week. Conduit complications occurred in 4 animals (33%). The average detrusor leakage point pressure through the conduit was 90 cm H2O versus 39 cm H2O through the urethra.
Conclusion: The mechanism of continence did not promote ischemic stress on the conduit, was able to promote high pressure resistance and showed good recovery of intersected muscle fibers, after an initial slight atrophy, suggesting good durability of the neo-sphincter.

What do we really know about the external urethral sphincter?
Continence (Amst)
June 2024
University of Bristol, School of Physiology, Pharmacology and Neuroscience, Faculty of Life Sciences, Bristol BS8 1TD, UK.
The external urethral sphincter (EUS), composed of skeletal muscle, along with a smooth muscle-lined internal urethral sphincter (IUS), have crucial roles in maintaining continence during bladder filling and facilitating urine flow during voiding. Disruption of this complex activity has profound consequences on normal lower urinary tract function during the micturition cycle. However, relatively little is known about the normal and pathological functions of these particular muscle types, how activity can be manipulated and regulated and why, for example, loss of EUS function and sarcopenia is associated with ageing.

Background: Fecal incontinence is a common problem especially in the elderly resulting in a reduced quality of life.
Summary: The etiology of fecal incontinence is often multifactorial with little options for a causal therapy. The mechanisms causing incontinence can be detected by sophisticated methods in most of the patients.

Background: Abnormal programmed cell death (PCD) plays a central role in spermatogenic dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms and biomarkers of PCD in patients with nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) remain unclear.
Methods: The genetic conditions of NOA patients were analysed using bulk transcriptomic, single-cell transcriptomic, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), and clinical data from multiple centres.
Occult Urinary Incontinence, Diabetes, Obesity, Prolapse Severity, and Type of Surgical Repair as Risk Factors for De Novo Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women Undergoing Surgical Repair of Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Purpose: The International Continence Society and the International Urogynecological Association have not yet standardized the definition of de novo stress urinary incontinence. Recent studies define the development of stress urinary incontinence as occurring after surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse in previously continent women. The mechanisms that cause de novo stress urinary incontinence are not yet clear.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the risk factors for residual stress urinary incontinence after successful closure of vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF), noting that previous findings on predictors have been inconsistent.
- - Conducted over seven years with women from multiple centers, it involved a cough test at three months post-operation to assess urinary continence, finding that 16.3% of patients had residual incontinence despite successful fistula closure.
- - Key predictors for residual incontinence identified included urethro-vesical junction involvement, previous fistula repair, and type 3 classifications of Goh's system, highlighting the need for better management of urinary incontinence post-surgery.
