Six children with neurogenic disorders of micturition are stimulated by Katona's method. The evaluation of the clinical and cystometric results carried out every 4 weeks shows the contradictoriness of this method. The clinical results show an unequivocal improvement in micturition behavior, whereas checking the objective cystomanometric results only suggests an increasing tonicity of the detrusor and suppression of the uninhibited detrusor contractions. The urgency for carrying out cystomanometric measurements during Katona's electrostimulation therapy is pointed out.

Considerable research efforts have been directed towards investigating neurogenic bladder dysfunction over the preceding decade. This condition stands as the most prevalent and incapacitating pelvic floor disorder amidst patients afflicted with specific upper motor neuron syndromes, including multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injury. The current study aims to bring up-to-date findings on rehabilitation methods for treating neurogenic bladder.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to review literature on how transcutaneous and percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation affects lower urinary tract issues caused by multiple sclerosis, analyzing data from various medical databases up until September 2022.
  • - Results showed significant improvements in urinary frequency, post-void residual volume, urgency, and maximum cystometric capacity after both types of nerve stimulation treatments, with specific statistical results indicating a clear benefit.
  • - However, the analysis noted that transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation did not significantly impact urinary incontinence and nocturia, suggesting it may be less effective for these specific issues.

Rapid neurogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells through electrochemical stimulation.

The neurogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) has been substantially handicapped with the choice of chemical or electrical stimulations for long durations. We demonstrate an innovative strategy of stimulation with <1.0 V for <200 s to achieve hMSCs differentiation towards neural progenitor cells within 24 h and their commitment towards differentiation to neurons on day 3 with the use of three-electrode electrostimulation.

Background: Peripheral electrical nerve stimulation is a routinely recommended treatment for non-neurogenic overactive bladder but has not been approved for patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). This systematic review and meta-analysis was to elucidate the efficacy and safety of electrostimulation and thus provide firm evidence for treating NLUTD.

Materials And Methods: We systematically performed the literature search through PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases in March 2022.

Purpose: Neurogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common side effect of radical prostatectomy (RP) because of cavernous nerve damage. In these patients, the production of nitric oxide (NO), which is important for erection, is decreased in the corpus cavernosum. Therefore, NO donors are useful for post-RP ED.
