Purpose: To investigate the treatment outcome of nocturnal enuresis (NE) according to first-morning urine osmolality (Uosm) before treatment.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-nine children (mean age, 7.2±2.1 y) with NE were enrolled in this retrospective study and divided into two groups according to first-morning Uosm results, that is, into a low Uosm group (<800 mOsm/L; 38 cases, 38.4%) or a high Uosm group (≥800 mOsm/L; 61 cases, 61.6%). Baseline parameters were obtained from frequency volume charts of at least 2 days, uroflowmetry, post-void residual volume, and a questionnaire for the presence of frequency, urgency, and urinary incontinence. Standard urotherapy and pharmacological treatment were administered initially in all cases. Enuresis frequency and response rates were analyzed at around 1 month and 3 months after treatment initiation.
Results: The level of first-morning Uosm was 997.1±119.6 mOsm/L in high Uosm group and 600.9±155.9 mOsm/L in low Uosm group (p<0.001), and first-morning voided volume (p=0.021) and total voided volume (p=0.019) were significantly greater in the low Uosm group. Furthermore, a significantly higher percentage of children in the low Uosm group had a response rate of ≥50% (CR or PR) at 1 month (50.0% vs. 24.6%; p=0.010) and 3 months (63.2% vs. 36.1%; p=0.009).
Conclusions: Treatment response rates are higher for children with NE with a lower first-morning Uosm.

Background: Children with enuresis are often requested to complete voiding diaries in the diagnostic process. There is no consensus on the optimal number of days of registration in the voiding diary that would allow correct patient characterization.
Objectives: To examine the intra-individual variation in the parameters yielded from voiding diaries and evaluate if one week of registration is sufficient when evaluating the nocturnal urine production (NUP) and maximum voided volume (MVV) in children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE).

Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to determine how long D. renale eggs remain in dog urine after surgical removal of the parasites, involving 15 dogs and urine sample analysis before and for ten days post-surgery.
- * Results showed that 93.3% of dogs continued to excrete D. renale eggs for up to ten days post-surgery, emphasizing that dogs can still be a source of infection despite having the parasites surgically removed.
Systematic review and meta-analysis of biological variation data of urine albumin, albumin to creatinine ratio and other markers in urine.

Article Synopsis
- * A systematic search identified 37 studies, but only 16 met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis, revealing limited data for specific markers like albumin and the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR).
- * The findings highlighted inconsistencies in sample collections and reporting units across BV studies, emphasizing the necessity for more compliant research to better assess the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Introduction: Early morning basal serum luteinizing hormone (S-LH) ≥0.3 IU/L is a specific marker for the onset of central puberty. In this study, we aimed to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the first-morning-voided (FMV) total urinary LH (U-LH) to replace this marker.

Article Synopsis
- Exposure to low doses of neonicotinoid insecticides during pregnancy may negatively affect children's neurodevelopment, prompting researchers to investigate urinary biomarkers of exposure in pregnant women.
- The study involved collecting urine samples from 30 non-smoking pregnant women in Japan over a two-week period, measuring concentrations of neonicotinoid metabolites using advanced mass spectrometry techniques.
- Results indicated that while certain metabolites like N-desmethyl-acetamiprid showed moderate reproducibility as exposure biomarkers, other neonicotinoids displayed poor reproducibility, suggesting that multiple urine samples are needed for accurate assessments of overall exposure.
