Urinary iodine and thyroid volume in a Swedish population

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2004
Abstract.Objective.  To evaluate the present efficacy of an iodine supplementation programme working in Sweden since 1936 by studying the iodine excretion in urine and determining the thyroid volume in a population in a semi‐rural community.Design.  A cross‐sectional population screening comprising three age groups with randomly selected individuals ...

URINARY VOLUME AND EXCRETION OF OESTROGENS IN LATE PREGNANCY

Acta Endocrinologica, 1965
ABSTRACT The relationship between urinary volume and oestrone, 17β-oestradiol and oestriol was studied initially within the range of spontaneous variation and subsequently with the aid of water loads and diuretics. The spontaneous variations in urinary output showed no definite correlation with the excretion of oestrogens, while massive ...

Changes in dietary intake, urinary nitrogen, and urinary volume across the menstrual cycle

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1993
The effect of four menstrual cycle phases on changes in dietary intake, urinary nitrogen excretion, and urinary volume was examined in nine women confined to a metabolic unit, maintained at a constant activity level, and fed an ad libitum, rotating, staff-weighed diet.

Urinary incontinence volume measurementin elderly male inpatients

Urology, 1990
Urinary incontinence is a debilitating disease in the elderly and is a leading cause of nursing home placement for aged patients in our society. Accurate measurement of urinary incontinence in elderly inpatients is necessary to determine the severity of the disease and to evaluate the efficacy of any treatment methods being investigated.

Urinary bladder volume tracking using a Kalman filter

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2005
This study introduced the Kalman filter procedure for tracking urinary bladder filling from intermittent bladder volume measurements taken by an ultrasonic bladder volume monitor. The Kalman filter was based on a double integrator as a model for the bladder filling process between micturitions and included a procedure to reset the filter in the event ...

The Use of Frequency/Volume Charts to Assess Urinary Incontinence

Physical Therapy Reviews, 2000
When evaluating any treatment modality for incontinence, it is essential that the severity of incontinence is measured. There are various ways of determining the severity of incontinence, such as quality-of-life questionnaires and pad tests. The use of frequency/volume charts to collect data concerning voiding patterns was first introduced in 1974 ...

Urinary incontinence volume patterns in elderly inpatient men

Urology, 1991
Urinary incontinence is a costly and debilitating disease of the aged. Although the most common clinical finding is detrusor hyperreflexia on filling cystometry, the role of this urodynamic abnormality in the etiology of incontinence is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate elderly patients who have cystometric detrusor hyperreflexia and

Thyroid volumes and urinary iodine in German school children

Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes, 2001
Several recently published investigations showed a significant improvement in the iodine supply of the German population, but so far Germany is still considered an iodine deficient country. However most of the studies presented do not meet the epidemiological criteria established by WHO, UNICEF and ICCIDD and may therefore suffer from a selection bias ...

Residual Urinary Volume and Urinary Tract Infection, A Life Threatening Illness: A Case Report

Journal of Environmental Pathology, Toxicology and Oncology, 2010
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease that demyelinates the central nervous system causing progressive disability. The urodynamics of MS patients is an important consideration because these patients are susceptible to acute urinary bladder retention associated with a high fever.

Nomograms of total renal volume, urinary bladder volume and bladder wall thickness index in 3,376 children with a normal urinary tract

Pediatric Radiology, 2006
We have previously shown that urinary bladder volume index (BVI = length x width x depth of bladder) and bladder volume wall thickness index (BVWI = BVI at full bladder/average bladder wall thickness) are useful indicators of bladder dysfunction in children with enuresis and urinary tract infection. These indices show a good correlation with urodynamic
