31 patients with refractory enuresis underwent simultaneous urethrocystometry. Pure urethral instability was encountered in 14, urethral and bladder instability in 11 and isolated uninhibited bladder in 3. This allows us to discuss the functional relationship between the urethra and the bladder. We consider urethral instability as being a trigger mechanism for detrusor contraction, and the explanation for the paradox of stable bladder enuresis. Phenylpropanolamine (Ornade), 25-50 mg at bedtime, stabilizes the vesicosphincteric unit and stopped bedwetting in 11 of 16 patients.

Comparison of the Role of Anticholinergics and α-1 Adrenergic Blockers in Bladder Management in Posterior Urethral Valves: A Pilot Randomized Control Trial.

Introduction: Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is a major cause of congenital bladder dysfunction, often persisting despite treatment. Emerging therapies, including anticholinergics and α-1 blockers, offer potential but lack clear guidelines. This study evaluates their effectiveness in improving bladder function after valve fulguration.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors that could affect the likelihood of identifying a clinically actionable germline pathogenic variant (PV).
Methods: Patients with UTC were identified from 10 cancer institutes of the Oncology Research Information Exchange Network consortium.

Introduction: Genital self-mutilation presents significant surgical challenges, particularly when complicated by psychiatric disorders. This case highlights the critical role of surgical intervention in the management of self-inflicted severe penile injuries and underscores the need to integrate surgical and psychiatric care to optimise results.
Case Presentation: A 43-year-old man, with progressive psychiatric issues, self-inflicted penile amputation.

Urethral stricture caused by various reasons has threatened the quality of life of patients for decades. Traditional reconstruction methods, especially for long-segment injuries, have shown poor outcomes in treating urethral strictures. Tissue engineering for urethral regeneration is an emerging concept in which special designed scaffolds and seed cells are used to promote local urethral regeneration.
