RESUMO

AIM: To explore the effects of experimental subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on rabbit urinary bladder and to assess the potential protective effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). METHODS: A total of 15 male New Zealand white rabbits were divided randomly to one of three groups: group I was spared as the control group (n = 5), group II was exposed to SAH, received no treatment, and acted as the SAH group (n = 5) and group III was exposed to SAH and received five sessions of HBOT (started 12 hours after SAH induction and was given twice daily for the first 2 days and once on the third day) and acted as the treatment group (n = 5). At 72 hours after the SAH induction, bladders from all animals were removed for in vitro organ bath experiments and biochemical analyses. RESULTS: Isometric tension studies revealed that compared to group I, the contractile responses of the strips to carbachol in group II were significantly decreased whereas HBOT restored the contractile responses (P < .05). Caspase-3 and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activities of bladder tissues were significantly increased in group II when compared with group I, whereas caspase-3 and NOS activities were significantly decreased in the tissues of group III (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Subarachnoid hemorrhage stimulates apoptosis of the rabbit bladder and impairs the contractile response of the rabbit bladder to carbachol. HBOT creates a protective effect in rabbit bladder tissues and restores SAH-induced changes.

RESUMO

AIMS: Dysfunctional voiding (DV) remains a poorly understood and a poorly managed problem, both in children and adults. The Think Tank (TT) discussed how to improve the management of DV in these two different age groups and in transitional care. METHODS: During the 2018 International Consultation on Incontinence Research Society held in Bristol, a multidisciplinary TT on DV was created. The presentations and subsequent discussion, leading to research recommendations intended to improve the management of DV in children and adults are summarized. RESULTS: To improve the management of DV in children and adults, the TT panel proposed: (1) to conduct reliable prevalence studies of DV; (2) to perform longitudinal studies to prospectively test the sequence hypothesis by answering the following questions: (a) Which, if any children show a progression from overactive bladder or voiding postponement to DV?; (b) Which children develop each disorder without precursors?; and (c) Is there a continuation of DV from childhood to adulthood, or are adult cases new-onset presentations?; (3) to obtain detailed information regarding psychopathology to understand which comorbid psychological disorders prevail and at which rate, in those suffering DV; (4) to develop and validate diagnostic tools specifically for DV; (5) to better establish urodynamic correlates of DV specific for different age groups; and (6) to generate prospective long-term data regarding the efficacy of different treatment options and management strategies. CONCLUSIONS: The future research recommendations of this TT may improve our management of DV in children and adults.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Turkish Continence Society aimed to analyze how overactive bladder (OAB) is being managed in routine practice by the urologists in Turkey. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Fourteen urology departments were randomly selected to represent the whole population in this multicenter study. An online data entry and storage software was created for patient recruitment and data assessment. A survey including demographic data, daily habits, lower urinary tract symptoms, and Turkish-validated OAB-V8 and ICIQ-SF questionnaires were completed by all patients. Second part of the survey, including the questions about clinical evaluation and management of the patient, was completed by the treating physician. RESULTS: A total of 507 patients (394 female and 113 male) were included. Behavioral therapy was recommended to 73.2% of female and 81.4% of male patients although bladder diary was requested for 59.5% and 52.7% of the female and male patients, respectively. In the first visit, 86.1% of the female and 89.3% of the male patients were given antimuscarinics (P = .431). Antimuscarinic-related side effects occurred in 94.9% and 88.9% of the female and male patients, respectively (P = .937). However, the rate of medical treatment change due to antimuscarinic-related side effects was only 1.7% in female and 4.8% in male patients at the end of 4 months. CONCLUSIONS: Behavioral therapy and antimuscarinics were the preferred initial treatment modalities of OAB in concordance with the guidelines. Despite guideline recommendations, bladder diaries were not utilized in half of the patients. Insufficient efficacy appeared to be the main reason for treatment modification.

RESUMO

We investigated the effects of epididymo-orchitis and ciprofloxacin on rat testicular histology and spermatogenesis. The control group underwent left orchiectomy. The second group received oral ciprofloxacin (150 mg/kg/day) for 10 days. Escherichia coli (10(6) cfu/mL, 0.1 mL) was injected into the proximal right ductus deferens in the third group. The fourth group received ciprofloxacin treatment 48 h after E. coli inoculation. In groups 3 and 4, bilateral orchiectomy was performed 14 days after the challenge. In healthy rats, ciprofloxacin caused recognizable histological damage associated with a mild decrease in testicular volume and sperm concentration. Infected testicles in groups 3 and 4 revealed severe histological damage associated with severe testicular atrophy and impaired spermatogenesis that were more significant in infected rats which received ciprofloxacin treatment. Contralateral testicles in these animals showed similar histopathological changes to a lesser extent. The results of our study suggest a gonadotoxic potential for ciprofloxacin and this potential in humans should be addressed with further studies.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the problems in the primary care of children with spina bifida and to analyze their impact on neuro-urological outcome in Turkey. Information from mothers about the disease, difficulties in getting medical services, availability and efficacy of prenatal ultrasound, and folic acid intake was also assessed. PATIENTS: A retrospective review of 476 children registered in the pediatric urology section of our institutional multidisciplinary spina bifida clinic between 1996 and 2005 was made. All children were assessed for the time of primary repair, time to first neuro-urological visit, and compliance to follow up. A phone interview was made with 166 mothers to obtain data regarding their educational status, supplementary folic acid intake before/during gestation, compliance to obstetric follow up, prenatal diagnosis and counseling, information about the importance of neuro-urological surveillance, and difficulties in neuro-urological follow up. RESULTS: Two-thirds of the mothers had an educational status of elementary school or lower. Phone interviews revealed inadequate obstetric follow up in 42% and a low prenatal diagnosis rate (49%) in those under regular follow up. Chart review revealed a significant delay in timing of primary surgical closure (mean 3 months and 2.9 years for open and closed lesions, respectively) and first neuro-urological follow-up visit (mean 1.8 years and 9.7 months after primary repair for open and occult lesions, respectively). Reasons for delayed closure were misguided advice of the nurse/midwife involved in delivery and inability to obtain tertiary health care. Socioeconomic inadequacy of the families and inefficacy of the health insurance system were the most important factors impairing follow up. CONCLUSIONS: Serious problems exist in the prevention, prenatal diagnosis and primary management of children with myelodysplasia in Turkey. As a consequence, neuro-urological follow up starts relatively late, which adversely affects the urological prognosis.
