Do overactive bladder symptoms and their treatment-associated changes exhibit a normal distribution? Implications for analysis and reporting
2020
Aims: To explore the use of means vs medians (assuming or not the presence of normal distribution) in studies reporting overactive bladder syndrome symptoms and to test for normal distribution of basal values and treatment-associated changes thereof in two large noninterventional studies. Methods: Systematic review of all original studies reporting on at least one overactive bladder syndrome symptom published in four leading urology journals in 2016 to 2017. Testing of the normal distribution of urgency, incontinence, frequency, and nocturia in two large noninterventional studies (n = 1335 and 745). Results: Among 48 eligible articles, 86% reported means (assuming a normal distribution), 6%…
Sleep–wake problems in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: implications for patient management
2012
SUMMARY Sleep–wake problems are frequent, although unrecognized, complications of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing and restless legs syndrome have all been reported in patients with ALS, despite the limited number of studies and the small populations investigated so far. Sleep disturbances gradually worsen with disease progression, suggesting a relationship between the severity of disease and the neurodegenerative process. However, poor sleep can also be a consequence of several disturbances such as anxiety, depression, pain, choking, sialorrhea, fasciculations, cramps, nocturia and the inability to get comfortable and move f…
OAB Evidence from the Urologist’s Perspective
2003
Abstract Overactive bladder (OAB) is the term introduced by the International Continence Society in 2002 to describe the symptoms of urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually in the presence of frequency and nocturia. Community-based prevalence studies have shown an estimated 16% of the adult population in the US and Europe suffers the symptoms of OAB, and in many cases the symptoms can have a profound effect on quality of life. OAB can also co-exist with other disorders (e.g. depression, sleep deprivation, urinary tract and skin infections) which further increases the burden to the patient. Contemporary therapeutic algorithms, based on clinical experiences and evaluations of the …
Ureteroiliac Artery Fistula in a Young Woman with Short Bowel Syndrome for Radiation Enteritis
2010
Ureteral-iliac artery fistula is a rare and potentially life-threatening complication, typically occurring after radiation therapy in already surgically treated cancer patients. This case report describes the diagnostic challenges and the successful management, with the positioning of an intra-arterial prosthesis, of a fistula between the internal iliac artery and the left ureter presenting as massive hematuria in a young woman with history of total colectomy and pelvic radiotherapy for rectal cancer and subsequent wide ileal resections and bilateral ureteral stent positioning for radiation enteritis. Ureteroiliac artery fistulas require a prompt diagnosis and intervention, to avoid life th…
Transcatheter embolization of the kidney with butyl-2-cyanoacrylate: Experimental and clinical results
1978
The technique and efficacy of therapeutic catheter embolization of the kidney with butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl) were studied in 80 rabbits (including control groups) and in 10 dogs. A mixture of butyl-2-cyanoacrylate, 50% glucose, and tantalum powder was used for the embolization. Complete and permanent vascular occlusion was found in nearly all cases. The main complication observed was a reflux of embolizing material into the lumbar arteries, which occurred in seven rabbits. Clinically, therapeutic embolization was performed in six patients with hypernephroma. The indication for embolization in these patients, as well as in two others with iatrogenic lesions, was pronounced hematuria…
Ābeļu (Malus domestica Borkh.) izturības pret kraupi (Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) Wint.) reakcijas nodrošināšanā iesaistīto miRNS raksturojums
2016
Dārza ābele ir viena no nozīmīgākajām augļkultūrām Eiropā un arī Latvijā. Kraupis, ko izraisa patogēnā sēne, nodara lielus zaudējumus ražai komerciālajos dārzos, tāpēc selekcijai tiek meklētas jaunas pazīmes, kas nodrošinātu izturību pret kraupi. Līdz šīm atklātie rezistences gēni pilnībā neizskaidro rezistences mehānismus, bet jaunākie pētījumi rāda, ka mikroRNS ir būtiska ietekme uz rezistenci. Darba mērķis ir identificēt un raksturot ābeļu rezistences reakcijā pret kraupja infekciju potenciāli iesaistītās miRNS. Kā galvenās metodes tika izmantotas mRNS un miRNS izdalīšana un qPCR reakcijas, un relatīvās ekspresijas noteikšana. Galvenie darba secinājumi ir tādi, ka izvēlētā miRLn11 nav ie…
Gromatica militare: lo ps. Igino,
2012
A breve distanza dalla mia edizione del volumetto nella collana Teubner (1977), è uscita l’edizione di uno studioso francese (Lenoir, 1979), poco attento ai messaggi del testo e pertanto depistante dalla realtà dei contenuti dell’opuscolo. A distanza di 35 anni, dopo aver steso parecchi articoli, con l’intento di rettificare proposte palesemente erronee dello studioso francese, avendo verificato che studiosi recenti si sono anche confusi nel citare qua e là il testo e nel richiamarne i contenuti, magari fornendo il mio testo e poi però un’interpretazione correlata al testo del Lenoir, ho ritenuto doveroso riproporre con delle modifiche il mio testo del 1977, con un apparato del tutto divers…
Oligarquías y gobierno municipal en las villas de Llanes, Villaviciosa y Luarca (Asturias) a finales del antiguo régimen
2020
Estudio de las oligarquías y del gobierno municipal de tres villas costeras asturianas –Llanes, Villaviciosa y Luarca– durante la etapa final del Antiguo Régimen, tanto desde la óptica de la historia institucional como la historia social del poder. Se analiza tanto el origen de sus oligarquías –vinculado a la compra de cargos municipales y de extracción básicamente nobiliaria– como las analogías y las diferencias en las formas de gobierno de los tres concejos de los que las villas citadas eran su capital. Así, mientras en los concejos de Villaviciosa y Valdés la mayor parte de los cargos se perpetuaron en manos de algunas casas nobiliarias que los habían adquirido en propiedad, en Llanes pe…
Environmental factors influencing the distribution and prevalence of Schistosoma haematobium in school attenders of ILembe and uThungulu Health Distr…
2017
Schistosoma haematobium infection is reported to facilitate the development of urogenital diseases. Its symptoms include haematuria, dysuria and tiredness, and it may cause cognitive decline in children. The prevalence of S. haematobium infection needs to be known in endemic areas and a mass treatment programme against the disease implemented. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and intensity of S. haematobium infection in ILembe and uThungulu health districts, using the major symptom, haematuria, as an indicator. A total of 6 265 urine samples, from 96 rural schools, was collected for analysis using dipsticks. The prevalence of haematuria in the ILembe health district w…
