How Can We Personalize the Delivery of Onabotulinumtoxin‐A for Patients With Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Why do clinicians place indwelling urinary catheters with patients in acute medical care?

, 2014
Background: Indwelling urinary catheters (IUCs) placed for short-term use in hospital frequently become long-term catheters, increasing the potential for infections, trauma and other complications.

The Interpretability of the Neurogenic Bladder Symptom Score

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To define mild, moderate and severe symptom categories of the neurogenic bladder symptom score (NBSS) and NBSS‐short form (SF), and to calculate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the NBSS‐SF. Methods We used existing datasets from the original NBSS validation study (n = 230 patients with spinal cord injury (SCI ...

Impact of Institutional Protocol on Urinary Catheter Outcome Measures in Orthopedic Children Treated With Epidural Analgesia

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epidural analgesia is commonly used for pain control after major lower‐limb orthopedic surgery in children, but it is associated with a risk of postoperative urinary retention. Consequently, urinary catheters are often placed and left in situ for the full duration of epidural analgesia, despite the potential risks of prolonged ...

Docetaxel-Induced Serositis Mimicking Malignant Pleural Effusion. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Pleural effusions are common in patients with cancer. Although their development may signal progressive malignant disease, drug‐induced effusions are a rare and often overlooked cause of exudative pleural effusions. We describe a 50‐year‐old woman with recurrent granulosa cell tumor of the ovary who developed bilateral pleural and pericardial ...

Plasma Lidocaine Concentrations During Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion Therapy in the Pediatric Population—A Scoping Review

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intravenous lidocaine therapy (IVLT) is often used in perioperative multimodal analgesia due to its analgesic, anti‐hyperalgesic, and anti‐inflammatory effects. In adults, IVLT doses of 1–2 mg/kg/h produce plasma concentrations of 1–2 μg/mL, within the presumed therapeutic range of 1–5 μg/mL.

Decomposition of indwelling EMG signals

Journal of Applied Physiology, 2008
Decomposition of indwelling electromyographic (EMG) signals is challenging in view of the complex and often unpredictable behaviors and interactions of the action potential trains of different motor units that constitute the indwelling EMG signal. These phenomena create a myriad of problem situations that a decomposition technique needs to address to ...

Diagnosis and Management of Prenatal Hereditary Pyropoikilocytosis

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by variants in SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB41. These weaken horizontal interactions in the erythrocyte cytoskeleton, causing membrane fragmentation and splenic sequestration. It will readily cause fetal anemia and often hydrops fetalis. Prenatal diagnosis requires first ruling out
