OECD/NRC PSBT Benchmark: Investigating the CATHARE2 Capability to Predict Void Fraction in PWR Fuel Bundle

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, 2012
Accurate prediction of steam volume fraction and of the boiling crisis (either DNB or dryout) occurrence is a key safety-relevant issue. Decades of experience have been built up both in experimental investigation and code development and qualification ...

β3‐Adrenoceptor Agonists for Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: Evidence and Clinical Rationale for First‐Line Therapy

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims To summarize current evidence on β3‐adrenoceptor agonists for managing neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD), focusing on their efficacy, safety, and clinical role in optimizing bladder storage and protecting upper tracts. Methods Evidence from randomized controlled trials, meta‐analyses, and observational studies in spinal ...

Save the Bladder: Continent Urinary Diversion as Best Practice for Patients With Refractory Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction presents an obstinate clinical problem. For patients who fail nonsurgical measures, we advocate for bladder‐sparing, continent urinary diversion as the optimal approach to management.

“What Medical Management Should Be First Line for Bladder Storage Symptoms in NLUTD”—Pro Botox

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) severely impairs patient quality of life (QoL). While oral medications are often first‐line treatments, their high failure rates and side effects limit their effectiveness. Thus, we argue for the use of intravesical botulinum toxin A (BoNT‐A) injections as a first‐line alternative ...

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 ...

Factors Underlying Choice and Change of Absorbent Incontinence Products in Women With Urinary Incontinence

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objective Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in women. For up to 77%, the use of absorbent continence products (pads) is central to management. Pad changes are common and reasons for change are not fully described. We hypothesized that women change their pads for many reasons other than wetness and at saturation levels well ...

Beyond Joint Hypermobility: Investigating Bladder Dysfunction in Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is the most common subtype of Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome, a group of connective tissue disorders caused by collagen abnormalities. While musculoskeletal features of hEDS are well characterized, its impact on visceral organs, including the bladder, remains underexplored.

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 ...
