Urology Research

KEY FINDING: Trigonal BTX-A injection is more effective and safer than nontrigonal BTX-A injection for SCI patients with UI secondary to neurogenic-poor BC and does not result in VUR.

KEY FINDING: A significant rise in DBP (>10 mmHg) was observed in the majority (76.2%) of urodynamic tests where AD was present, as defined by a SBP increase of >20 mmHg.

KEY FINDING: Significant differences were observed between pre- and post-session participant responses regarding their confidence levels (P < 0.001).

KEY FINDING: uNGAL levels varied significantly among adults with NLUTD, even without UTI symptoms.

KEY FINDING: The initial reactions to SCI differ between men and women, with men primarily concerned about erectile function and women focusing on fears of abandonment and loneliness.

KEY FINDING: The incidence of UTI within three months of initiating IC varied significantly depending on the definition used, ranging from 13.7% to 45.2%.

KEY FINDING: Three SCI patients who had an incontinent ileovesicostomy developed sufficient functional improvement to intermittently self-catheterize reliably and underwent conversion of ileovesicostomy to ileocystoplasty.

KEY FINDING: A significant majority (77%) of wheelchair athletes using intermittent catheterization experienced at least one complication.

KEY FINDING: The recruitment target of 114 patients is obtainable within the originally envisioned three-year time period under the most favorable recruitment scenario examined.

KEY FINDING: A significant correlation was found between the level of SCI and video-urodynamic findings, but clinical examination cannot accurately predict bladder function.
