Importance: Emerging literature has associated the use of anticholinergic medications to cognitive decline.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of overactive bladder medications on cognitive function with prospective longitudinal cognitive assessments.
Study Design: A population-based cohort of individuals 50 years and older who had serial validated cognitive assessment, in accordance with the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging, was evaluated from October 2004 through December 2021. Anticholinergic overactive bladder medications were grouped by traditional anticholinergic medications and central nervous system (CNS)- sparing anticholinergic medications and compared to no medication exposure. A linear mixed effects model with time-dependent exposures evaluated the association between overactive bladder anticholinergic medication exposure and subsequent trajectories of cognitive z-scores.
Results: We included 5,872 participants with a median follow-up of 6.4 years. Four hundred forty-three were exposed to traditional anticholinergic medications, 60 to CNS-sparing medications, and 5,369 had no exposure. On multivariable analyses, exposure to any anticholinergic overactive bladder medication was significantly associated with deterioration in longitudinal cognitive scores in the language and attention assessments compared to the control cohort. Traditional anticholinergic medication exposure was associated with worse attention scores than nonexposed participants. Exposure to CNS-sparing anticholinergic medications was associated with a deterioration in the language domain compared to those unexposed. Among women, traditional anticholinergic medication exposure was associated with worse global and visuospatial scores than nonexposed participants, but this association was not identified in the CNS-sparing group.
Conclusion: Exposure to anticholinergic overactive bladder medications was associated with small but significantly worse decline in cognitive scoring in the language and attention domains when compared to nonexposed individuals.

Objectives: To evaluate the effect of intravesical alkalinised lidocaine as an anaesthetic treatment on procedural pain during intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA (BTX-A) injections for overactive bladder.
Patients And Methods: This single-centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled two period crossover trial was conducted on women scheduled for BTX-A injections at our outpatient urogynaecology clinic between September 2022 and May 2024. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either alkalinised lidocaine or placebo during the first treatment period.
Prostaglandins Differentially Regulate the Constitutive and Mechanosensitive Release of Soluble Nucleotidases in the Urinary Bladder Mucosa.

The urothelium and lamina propria (LP) contribute to sensations of bladder fullness by releasing multiple mediators, including prostaglandins (PGs) and adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), that activate or modulate functions of cells throughout the bladder wall. Mediators that are simultaneously released in response to bladder distention likely influence each other's mechanisms of release and action. This study investigated whether PGs could alter the extracellular hydrolysis of ATP by soluble nucleotidases (s-NTDs) released in the LP of nondistended or distended bladders.

Background: Predictors of the efficacy of a single-session of CO2 laser therapy for female stress urinary incontinence are important for pretreatment consultation. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate these predictors.
Methods: All consecutive women who underwent vaginal CO2 laser therapy for stress urinary incontinence were prospectively enrolled.
