Utility of Pelvic Floor Therapy and Behavioral Interventions in the Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction (NLUTD) Population

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) describes a wide range of symptoms depending on neurologic diagnosis and the resulting bladder and sphincter dysfunction. This narrative review is designed to address the question regarding which NLUTD population benefits most from pelvic floor therapy and behavioral interventions, and ...

Urodynamic Voiding Patterns in Multiple Sclerosis

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to describe urodynamic voiding patterns in patients with MS (PwMS) using standardized assessments, and to compare the performance of the available nomograms and indices for obstruction and bladder contractility. Methods PwMS and lower urinary tract symptoms underwent cystometry and pressure flow studies.

One Size Does Not Fit All: Establishing Anticipated Baseline Intravesical Pressures Adjusted for Position and Body Mass Index

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Accurate measurement of intravesical pressure (Pves) during multichannel urodynamic testing requires zeroing with reference to surrounding atmosphere, establishing a reference level for measuring Pves, and assessing response to coughs.

Mesenchymal stem cells can improve anal pressures after anal sphincter injury [PDF]

, 2013
Objective.Fecal incontinence reduces the quality of life of many women but has no long-term cure. Research on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies has shown promising results. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate functional recovery after

Sensing in Sacral Neuromodulation: Objective, Individualized Stimulation Response Thresholds Directly From the Lead

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) therapy today relies on visually observed motor responses (e.g., anal bellows contraction, toe flexion) and subjective patient feedback (pelvic region sensations) to optimize lead placement and perform device programming.

Humidity Ramp Protocols Systematically Underestimate Human Heat Tolerance Limits

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Short dwell times in humidity‐ramp protocols (Δt/τ≪1 ${\Delta }t/\tau \mathit{\ll }1$) prevent human core temperature from reaching equilibrium, causing premature inflection points and systematic underestimation of critical environmental limits by ∼3°C–4°C.
