Postvoid Residual Volume Correlates With Bladder Outlet Obstruction and Not With Detrusor Contraction Strength Parameters in Women: A Matched Case-Control Study.
Int Neurourol J
December 2024
Department of Urology, Moinhos de Vento Hospital, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Purpose: To compare voiding parameters in women with and without increased postvoid residual (PVR) volume, to correlate these parameters with PVR volume and PVR percentage, and to describe their ability to predict an increased PVR volume.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study of urodynamics data prospectively acquired from consecutive symptomatic women over a 5-year period. Patients with spinal cord disorders and with abdominal straining during voiding (abdominal pressure ≥10 cm H2O over baseline at maximum flow rate [Qmax]) were excluded.
The Effects of Non-Pharmacological Therapies for Dysphagia in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is currently the second most common degenerative neurological disorder globally, with aspiration pneumonia caused by difficulty swallowing being the deadliest complication. The patient's subjective experience and the safety of swallowing have been the main focus of previous evaluations and treatment plans. The effectiveness of treatment may be attributed to the brain's ability to adapt and compensate.

Aims: Insights into the role of the urethra in maintaining continence and in normal voiding have been provided with advances in imaging techniques. Also, functional urethral testing is used to understand which treatments are optimal for women with functional bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), but which testing is better for which treatment? This review aims to describe our current understanding of female urethral function and dysfunction and to provide future research directions for treating functional female urethral disorders.
Materials And Methods: This is a consensus report of the proceedings of a research proposal discussed at the annual International Consultation on Incontinence-Research Society (ICI-RS), 6th-8th June 2024 (Bristol, UK): "Do we need to re-focus on functional female urethral disorders in lower urinary tract dysfunction? ICI-RS 2024".
RAM2: animal study for safety evaluation of the new artificial urinary sphincter uroactive on a castrated RAM model.

Department of Urology, Sorbonne Université, AP-HP, Sorbonne Université, Pitié-Salpêtrière Academic Hospital, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, 75013, Paris, France.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the safety of a new electronic artificial urinary sphincter (UroActive™) in castrated rams to treat severe urinary incontinence.
- Twenty rams were implanted with the device and monitored over various time frames, while a sham group was also included for comparison.
- The results showed successful implantation with minimal complications; only two rams developed infections, but overall, the device was deemed suitable for implantation without signs of significant adverse effects.
Impact of L-carnitine supplementation on gastric emptying and bowel function in pediatric ketogenic diet therapy: a clinical trial.
Sci Rep

Pediatric Clinical Nutrition Unit, Department of Pediatrics, Faculty of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt.
Ketogenic diet (KD) is an excess fat, enough protein, and minimal carbohydrate diet. The high fat content in KD lowers the oesophageal sphincter tone, slows gastric emptying, and decreases intestinal transit time. The primary aim of the current clinical trial was to study the effect of L-carnitine supplementation on gastric emptying in children with drug resistant epilepsy (DRE) on KD.
