Disease relevance of Urination Disorders

 

Psychiatry related information on Urination Disorders

 

High impact information on Urination Disorders

  • Nifedipine and nocturia [9].
  • Immediately after each episode of nocturia during the PSG, patients were questioned about the reason they believed they had awakened [10].
  • When patients were classified as responders or nonresponders in terms of bladder filling, urine flow, bladder emptying, weekly average of voids/24 hours, and nocturia, the proportion of patients responding to prazosin was significantly greater in all categories except bladder filling and emptying [11].
  • In randomised, double-blind trials in MS patients with nocturia, nasal desmopressin reduced the mean number of nocturnal voiding episodes by 31-54% [12].
  • RESULTS: In the nephrological group the incidence of high capacity bladder was 75%, residual urine 50%, UTI 43%, hesitancy 38%, intermittent flow 33%, bladder pain 33%, nighttime incontinence 29%, nocturia 24%, feeling of incomplete emptying 15%, daytime incontinence 14%, straining 14%, urgency 10%, burning sensation 10% and intermittency 5% [13].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Urination Disorders

  • Beneficial effects of desmopressin on nocturia were maintained and increased in patients completing 10 or 12 months of further treatment in a nonblind extension of short-term trials [12].
  • To evaluate a novel approach to the symptomatic management of nocturia in patients with MS, we have conducted a trial of desmopressin acetate (1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin), a synthetic analogue of antidiuretic hormone [3].
  • For a person to reach a 50% or greater reduction in nocturia, the advantage of terazosin over placebo was 17 percentage points [14].
  • This study was designed to investigate melatonin as a potential treatment for nocturia associated with bladder outflow obstruction in older men [15].
  • Maximum urinary flow, frequency and nocturia were unchanged during pinacidil treatment, compared to the initial test and the placebo period [16].
 

Biological context of Urination Disorders

 

Anatomical context of Urination Disorders

  • After clinical remission cyclophosphamide must be continued for at least a year under hydration sufficient to cause nycturia in order to protect the bladder mucosa [18].
  • The specific objectives were to study a) circadian changes in renal-endocrine function, including a comprehensive characterization of nocturia; b) cardiovascular-endocrine responses to a 90 degree tilt; c) erythrocyte functions, including intracellular organic phosphates and the Donnan ratio for chloride; and d) blood enzyme profiles [19].
  • OBJECTIVE: To investigate the number of tryptase positive bladder mast cells and the level of urine tryptase in interstitial cystitis (IC), a bladder disorder which occurs mostly in women and is characterized by suprapubic pain, frequency and nocturia [20].
 

Gene context of Urination Disorders

  • The only significant association of marker with symptom score was a positive correlation of IL-6 with nocturia [21].
  • Mean 24-hour micturition frequency decreased from 9.8 to 6.3 voids and nocturia decreased from 4.1 to 2.9 episodes nightly [22].
  • Moderate dysuria and difficulty in urinating were reported by 2-5% of patients treated with 3D CRT in contrast to 6-9% of patients treated with SRT; moderate urinary frequency and nocturia were reported by 18-24% treated with 3D CRT and 18-27% of patients in the SRT group [23].
  • Atrial natriuretic peptide levels in geriatric patients with nocturia and nursing home residents with nighttime incontinence [7].
  • More detailed physiologic studies are needed to understand better the pathophysiology of geriatric nocturia and nighttime incontinence and the role that AVP deficiency may play in these conditions [24].
