4 years of experience in the rehabilitation of neurogenic bladders by endovesical electrostimulation (ES) with 31 children permits us to judge the value and limitations of this treatment. 8 children (26%) reacted favorably to treatment and acquired continence approaching normal. 12 children (38%) showed modifications of bladder-sphincter equilibrium, without acquiring socially sufficient continence. 10 children (33%) showed no response to treatment. In 1 child ES may have precipitated bladder decompensation. An analysis of clinical, manometric, and radiological results in comparison to the underlying pathology permitted us to define the contraindications to ES therapy, criteria which should in the future permit a more efficient selection of patients.

Jun Zang Neurological Rehabilitation Center, Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University, Beijing 100000, Beijing, China.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of bladder function training combined with pelvic floor biofeedback electrical stimulation in the treatment of neurogenic bladder and its impact on urodynamics.
Methods: This was a clinical comparative study. A total of 120 patients with neurogenic bladder after spinal cord injury admitted to Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital of Capital Medical University and Beijing Shijingshan Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were randomly divided into two groups (n= 60/group).
Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Intervention on Overactive Bladder After Spinal Aneurysmal Bone Cyst Surgery in A Child: A Case Report.

Managing overactive bladder (OAB) in children is recommended to involve rehabilitation intervention including urotherapy, clean intermittent catheterization (CIC), and medication. However, there is scarce evidence on the management of OAB in children in Vietnam, as well as the effectiveness of combining urotherapy, CIC, and medication in managing this condition. We report a case of an 11-year-old female pediatric patient with OAB following aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) surgery.

Department of Medical Specialities I, "Grigore T. Popa" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 700115 Iași, Romania.
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH) is a significant non-motor manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD), that substantially affects patient disability and has a powerful impact on the quality of life of PD patients, while also contributing to increased healthcare costs. This narrative review aims to summarize key insights into the diagnosis and management of NOH in individuals with PD. For diagnosing NOH, a recently introduced and valuable metric is the ΔHr/ΔSBP index.

Background: Transanal irrigation is a well-established minimally invasive therapy that addresses symptoms of both constipation and incontinence. The therapy has been extended from just neurogenic bowel dysfunction patients to those with disorders of brain-gut interaction and postsurgical conditions.
Aim: To summarized the literature on transanal irrigation and update the contraindication profile.
