Introduction: This review aims to systematically evaluate the available evidence on the different urodynamic diagnoses of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in young adult men aged 18-50 years and to summarize the various urodynamic parameters based on these diagnoses.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis statement and the search was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library from inception till September 2021. A total of 295 records were identified using a combination of keywords such as LUTS, urodynamics (UDS), and young males. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021214045).
Results: All the ten studies, which were included in this analysis, categorised the patients into either of the four primary diagnoses after the UDS - primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO), dysfunctional voiding, detrusor underactivity (DU), or detrusor overactivity. Five of these studies used the conventional UDS, and in the other five a video UDS was performed. The most common abnormality on the conventional UDS was DU with a pooled estimate of 0.24 (95% confidence interval [CI] - 0.104-0.463, -95.35, (τ-1.07). The most common abnormality on the video UDS was PBNO with a pooled estimate of 0.49 (95% CI - 0.413-0.580, -66.59, -0.09). The point estimates of various UDS parameters were also recorded.
Conclusion: A urodynamic diagnosis was possible in 79% and 98% of the young men who underwent a conventional UDS or a video UDS, respectively. However, the men subjected to the conventional UDS and the video UDS had significant differences in their primary urodynamic diagnostic label. These results will help to plan future trials for the evaluation and management of LUTS in young men.

Voiding Pressures in Boys: Pdetmax versus PdetQmax - Does it Make a Difference?

Introduction: Invasive urodynamics (UDS) is a standard investigation in children. Studies measuring voiding pressures in children use varied nomenclatures and quote a wide range of voiding pressures. Thus, voiding pressures in children are not considered reliable and they do not find any place in the pediatric diagnostic armamentarium.

Stormwater infrastructure has been recently indicated as a potential hotspot for methane (CH) emissions. Although local assessments based on direct CH measurements are increasingly available, there is currently no standardized approach for evaluating CH emissions from different types of stormwater infrastructure, including permanently impounded or fast-draining structures in Urban Drainage Systems (UDS). Therefore, a comparative analysis with wastewater infrastructure systems, such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), is not yet possible.

Introduction: Vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI), febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI), renal scarring, and renal damage are intimately related. Key factors of renal damage in VUR are suspected to be RUTI and FUTI. Hence, conventional treatments are targeted toward the prevention of RUTI and FUTI.

Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive encephalopathy, involving microcephaly, intracranial calcification, and cerebrospinal fluid lymphocytosis with increased interferon-α concentrations. The clinical features of AGS overlap with fetal cerebral anomalies caused by congenital infections, such as TORCH (toxoplasmosis, other, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes), or with those of other genetic disorders showing neonatal microcephaly, including Cockayne syndrome (CS) with transcription-coupled DNA repair deficiency, and Seckel syndrome (SS) showing aberrant cell-cycle checkpoint signaling. Therefore, a differential diagnosis to confirm the genetic cause or a proof of infection should be considered.
