AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess urodynamic test results in patients with type-III B prostatitis and how these results affect treatment decisions.
  • 87 patients aged 22-45 with severe urinary symptoms who didn't improve with standard treatments underwent urodynamic testing, revealing various abnormalities in 70 of them.
  • Following urodynamic evaluations, tailored treatments showed significant positive effects in approximately 59% of patients, indicating these tests are crucial for effective therapy selection in this condition.

Article Abstract

Objective: To analyze the parameters of urodynamic tests for patients with type-III B prostatitis and evaluate the significance of the results of urodynamic tests in the choice of therapies for this disease.

Methods: Urodynamic tests were performed for 87 type-III B prostatitis patients aged 22-45 (30.7 ± 8.5) years, who had moderate or severe lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and failed to respond to routine therapy. Different treatments were administered according to the results of urodynamic tests followed by observation of the therapeutic effects.

Results: Urodynamic abnormalities were found in 70 of the 87 patients, bladder outlet obstruction in 28 (32.2%), detrusor overactivity in 25 (28.7%), bladder hyperesthesia in 18 (20.7%), low compliance in 10 (11.5%), detrusor-external urethral sphincter dyssynergia in 1 (1.1%), and impaired detrusor contractile function in 1 (1.1%). Treatments achieved obvious effectiveness in 26 cases (29.9%), effectiveness in 51 (58.6%), and no effectiveness in 10 (11.5%).

Conclusion: Urodynamic tests contribute significantly to the choice of therapies for type-III B prostatitis patients with moderate or severe LUTS.

Background: Neurophysiological investigations are infrequently utilized in the diagnostic workup of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Objective: To determine the potential contributions of neurophysiological assessments in the diagnostic process of LUTS and their integration into systemic neurological and psychosomatic disorders.

Materials And Methods: This study elucidates the role of neurophysiological tests specific to pelvic floor diagnostics, namely pudendal nerve somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEP) and external anal sphincter electromyography (EMG), through the presentation of two clinical case reports.

Flow prediction in sound-based uroflowmetry.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Signal Theory and Communications, Universidad de Valladolid, 47002, Valladolid, Spain.

Sound-based uroflowmetry (SU) offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional uroflowmetry (UF) for evaluating lower urinary tract dysfunctions, enabling home-based testing and reducing the need for clinic visits. This study compares SU and UF in estimating urine flow rate and voided volume in 50 male volunteers (aged 18-60), with UF results from a Minze uroflowmeter as the reference standard. Audio signals recorded during voiding were segmented and machine learning algorithms (gradient boosting, random forest, and support vector machine) estimated flow parameters from three devices: Ultramic384k, Mi A1 smartphone, and Oppo smartwatch.

Introduction: Spina bifida is a condition that impacts the development of the neural tube leading to urological and gastrointestinal symptoms. Both systems are influenced together due to their shared innervation and embryological origin. Despite its impact on health and well-being there has been limited research on the relationship between manometry results and urodynamic tests, in this patient population.

: Postsurgical lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is a common problem following deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) resection. The condition may be caused either by surgically induced damage to the bladder innervation or by pre-existing endometriosis-associated nerve damage. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative and postoperative multichannel urodynamic testing (UD) in identifying pre-existing or surgically induced LUTD among patients with DIE.
