Uroflowmetry Articles

Our study aimed to develop a noninvasive model using a combination of the set of clinical data and uroflowmetry (UFL) to differentiate between detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in non-neurogenic male patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

To evaluate the effectiveness of a new method of treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women using an ER: YAG laser in SMOOTH mode and investigate pathophysiological and pathomorphological changes induced by erbium laser.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous adult live cultured buccal epithelial cells (AALBEC) in treatment and management of bulbar urethral stricture in men.

This was a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single-arm phase 2b study.

Previous studies noted varied adherence to clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), but studies are yet to quantify adherence to American Urological Association BPH guidelines. We studied guideline adherence in the context of a new quality improvement collaborative (QIC).

Maximum voided volumes (MVV) and maximum bladder capacities (MBC) are important parameters in the evaluation of lower urinary tract functions in children. However, consistency of MVV and MBC measurements between voiding diary (VD), uroflowmetry (UF) and cystometrography (CMG) in children with non-neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) has not been addressed specifically.

Both detrusor underactivity (DU) and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) can coexist in patients with overactive bladder. Definitions of both DU and BOO are based on pressure-flow study (PFS) data. However, invasive urodynamics study can differ from a natural micturition, in fact, discrepancies between free uroflowmetry (UFM) and PFS have been largely described.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological condition, particularly among middle-aged and elderly men. Trans urethral resection of prostate (TURP) has some drawbacks, particularly concerning ejaculatory function.

Objective evaluation of bladder capacity (BC) in children with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) is important for recognizing types of bladder dysfunction. Bladder capacity is evaluated from 48-hour frequency/volume (48-h F/V) charts or by uroflowmetry with ultrasound post-void assessment.

The objective was to evaluate the intra-individual variability of uroflowmetry (UFM) in healthy control subjects and women suffering from stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence.

A total of 35 healthy controls (group A) and 105 women suffering from urinary incontinence were enrolled in the study.

Uncertainty remains whether it is best for men to void in a sitting or standing position. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of standing and sitting voiding position on uroflowmetry parameters and post void residual urine (PVRU) in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and healthy men.

Overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome is a symptom complex affecting 12-14% of the UK adult female population. Symptoms include urinary urgency, with or without urgency incontinence, increased daytime urinary frequency and nocturia.

The working group initiated by the ICS Standardisation Steering Committee has updated the International Continence Society Standard "Good Urodynamic Practice" published in 2002.

On the basis of the manuscript: "ICS standard to develop evidence-based standards," a new ICS Standard was developed in the period from December 2013 to December 2015.

BERKELEY, CA (UroToday.com) - The cerebral palsy patient population is a heterogeneous group, and there are few studies addressing the issue of lower urinary tract symptoms in this population. The prevalence of lower urinary tract dysfunction is very high in patients with cerebral palsy and the pediatrician may have doubt, either in making a simple clinical diagnosis of the condition or whether to resort to invasive tests such as urodynamics.

Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) are defined by their distressing effect on patients' day-to-day life. Given the pressures on secondary care resources, LUTS may be overlooked or inadequately assessed and therefore patients may be burdened for an extended period before treatment.

Benign prostrate hyperplasia (BPH) is a leading source of healthcare problem in aging men around the world including India. Both International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and New Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) are used to assess the lower urinary tracts symptoms (LUTSs) in men.

The objective is to study the effect of tamsulosin within hours after the first dose and its prediction of the future improvement of LUTS.

From May 2016 until August 2017, 340 patients aged over 40 years with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-related symptoms were prospectively enrolled; 0.

Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) graft urethroplasty has been employed to decrease buccal mucosa morbidity and facilitate the procedure. The first published series had a short follow-up, inhomogeneous patient selection, and a lack of a control group.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Tension-free Vaginal Tape Obturator (TVT-O) operation in the treatment of urodynamic stress incontinence (USI) in obese females, with respect to uroflowmetric changes, success rate and postoperative complications.

Neurogenic bladders can suffer from overactivity, underactivity or dyssynergia depending on the level of the initial lesion. These symptoms can lead to severe alterations of the upper urinary tract.

To determine if pressure-flow study (PFS) parameters, including flow index (FI) calculated by dividing average urethral flow by maximal urethral flow, increase the accuracy of urodynamic studies in the diagnosis of overactive bladder (OAB).

The aim of our study was to analyze whether uroflowmetry parameters are helpful in diagnosing overactive bladder (OAB). The working hypothesis was that the flow curves of patients with OAB symptoms would appear as a sharp peak flow rate with a short duration and high amplitude, lasting only for a short period during urgency sensation, followed by reduced urine flow.

To define a uroflowmetry-based non-invasive predictive tool for the primary diagnosis of urethral stricture disease.

A total of 300 male patients (150 with urethral stricture disease and 150 with benign prostatic obstruction), treated surgically between 2005 and 2015, and 75 healthy males were included in this study.
