Objective: To determine the effect of maternal tolerance on behavioural problems in children with enuresis.
Methods: The cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from January to November 2018 at the outpatient departments of three hospitals in Lahore and Sialkot district of the Punjab province in Pakistan. The sample comprised of mothers aged 23-50 years having children with enuresis visiting one public-sector tertiary-care hospital and two private-sector secondary-care hospitals. Data was collected using the Tolerance Scale and the Children Behavioural Questionnaire and was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: There were 80 mothers with a mean age of 34.53±4.89 years and as many children with a mean age of 8.16±2.36 years. Maternal intolerance was positively and significantly correlated with rule-breaking (p=0.02) and aggressive behaviour (p=0.01) in children with enuresis. Maternal intolerance was a significant and positive predictor of rule-breaking behaviour (p=0.02), aggressive behaviour (p=0.001) and attention problems (p=0.01) in the affected children.
Conclusion: Maternal intolerance and hostile attitudes towards children with enuresis was seen to be leading to secondary behavioural and emotional difficulties.

The purpose of this study was to determine any changes in the rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles, which are core muscles, in children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis (NE) using the shear wave elastography (SWE). In this case-control study, the rectus abdominis and diaphragm muscles of 40 children and adolescents with NE and 40 healthy controls were evaluated. The rectus abdominis muscle was examined at the right supra- and subumbilical levels, and the diaphragm at the right 9th-10th intercostal space.

Aims: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB), lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD), and enuresis (NE) are common in children and adolescents and have serious consequences, especially on social and emotional development. Even though much is known about the association between SDB and NE among adults, the number of articles in children and adolescents is limited. Therefore, the aim of the present scoping review was to map out the current knowledge about SDB and LUTD in children and adolescents.
