Prognostic Value of Urodynamic Testing in Myelodysplastic Patients

TLDR
Assessment of urethral function showed 36 patients (86 per cent) with an open vesical outlet and nonfunctional proximal urethra and 7 of 42 patients had reflex detrusor activity: 4 with coordinated micturition and 3 withdetrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.

EAU Guidelines on Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

TL;DR: The diagnosis and treatment of NLUTD, which is a highly specialised and complex field involving both urology and medicine, requires up-to-date expert advice to be readily available and the current guidelines are designed to fulfil this need.

Clinical Assessment of Urethral Sphincter Function

TL;DR: In women the abdominal pressure required to cause stress incontinence was unrelated to maximum urethral pressure, and in children with myelodysplasia the values were quite different, indicating that as far as the urethra is concerned abdominal pressure and detrusor pressure are not equivalent forces.

Lower urinary tract dysfunction in the neurological patient: clinical assessment and management

TL;DR: An individualised, patient-tailored approach is required for the management of LUT dysfunction associated with neurological disorders, and neuromodulation offers promise for managing both storage and voiding dysfunction.

Treatment of urinary incontinence by implantable prosthetic sphincter.

TL;DR: The preliminary results indicate that this prosthetic urethral sphincter was implanted in five patients with urinary incontinence successfully restored continence to all five patients.

Detrusor-Sphincter Dyssynergia

TL;DR: Patients on prolonged intermittent catheterization did as well as those who achieved balanced bladder function as a result of sphincterotomy in patients with complete suprasacral spinal cord injuries and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia.

Relative Contributions of Smooth and Striated Muscles to the Canine Urethral Pressure Profile

S. A. Awad, +1 more
- 01 Oct 1976 - 
TL;DR: Canine urethral pressure profiles were analysed using pharmacological and nerve sectioning techniques and it was concluded that in the proximal part of the profile the non-neural and the sympathetic components are significant.

Treatment of Autonomic Dysreflexia with Phenoxybenz Amine

TL;DR: 9 patients with severe autonomic dysreflexia treated with phenoxybenzamine, an alpha-sympatholytic agent, had a dramatic relief of symptoms and bladder and Urethral pressure studies suggest that the inappropriate rise in urethral resistance in these patients is a result of an appropriate but extraordinary response to bladder filling.
