Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the uroflowmetry test results performed for normal and urgent desire to void and their correlation with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) values in adult male patients having lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) complaints.
Material And Methods: In this prospective study, a total of 83 patients were included. With a normal desire to void, maximum flowrate (Qmax)-normal, average flowrate (Qaverage)-normal, and void volume (VV)-normal values were obtained. Residual urine volume was examined by suprapubic ultrasound within 5 minutes following uroflowmetry, and calculated. The maximum bladder volume (MBV)-normal value was calculated by adding the residual-normal volume and VV-normal values. The same procedures were repeated the next day with the sensation of urgency, Qmax-urgency, Qaverage-urgency, VV-urgency, residue-urgency, MBV-urgency values were obtained.
Results: Statistically significant difference was determined for all parameters, and higher values were obtained in the urgency group for all parameters (p<0.05). A correlation analysis was performed for the Qmax-normal and Qmax-urgency values and the IPSS. Both parameters were not statistically significantly correlated with IPSS, but the correlation coefficient of Qmax-urgency was found to be higher than Qmax-normal (p=0.85, Correlation Coefficient=-0.022 for Qmax-normal and IPSS; and p=0.069, Correlation Coefficient=-0.214 for Qmax-urgency and IPSS, respectively).
Conclusion: Our study is the first study examining the effect of bladder sensitivity on uroflowmetry parameters in male patients having LUTS. More reliable results might be obtained in adult male patients with LUTS complaints when the uroflowmetry test is performed with a feeling of urgency to void. Our results need to be supported by more objective criteria, rather than subjective criteria such as IPSS.

Comparative Neuroexcitation Patterns Using fNIRS in Women With Overactive Bladder.

Importance: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a noninvasive technique used to quantify prefrontal cortex (PFC) neuroexcitation. The PFC is involved in the decision to void, and dysfunction in the region has been associated with overactive bladder (OAB). This study demonstrates neuroexcitation differences in the brain region associated with the decision to void (prefrontal cortex) using noninvasive fNIRS.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the relationship between kinetics of bladder sensations perception, detrusor overactivity (DO), and severity of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS).
Methods: All PwMS who underwent urodynamic assessment including three cystometries (20mL/min, 100mL/min, and 100mL/min with 4°C fluid) between June 2020 and October 2022 were included in this retrospective study. Data collected were bladder diaries, symptoms assessed with Urinary Symptom Profile (USP), bladder sensations with first desire to void (FDV) and strong desire to void (SDV) during the 20mL/min cystometry, and presence of DO.

Background: Micturition desire-awakening (MDA) function plays a pivotal role in the development of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE); however, its neural correlates remain largely unexplored. Consequently, this study aimed to identify specific brain regional activities associated with MDA function.
Methods: Neuroimaging data were collected from 173 children with varying MDA functional grade scores at the Department of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, Shanghai Children's Medical Center, from July 2018 to November 2022.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a nomogram that predicts urine flow rates in healthy young males without urinary tract symptoms, using data collected from participants in Karachi.
- 468 males were recruited, and after analyzing data from 432 participants, average flow rate, maximum flow rate, and void volume were measured, with significant results found in relation to age.
- The developed nomograms can effectively predict maximum urine flow rates for young Pakistani men, providing a useful tool in urological assessments.
