Comparison between combination of tamsulosin and Pentoxifylline versus tamsulosin alone in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostate hyperplasia: A preliminary study
ConclusionWhen combined with tamsulosin, Pentoxifylline could significantly improve the lower urinary symptoms of BPH patients. It is well tolerated, and the treatment outcomes are better in patients who receive the combination of Pentoxifylline and tamsulosin than those who only receive tamsulosin.

Multimodal therapies and strategies for the treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome in Taiwan
This article reviewed currently available literature and proposed a diagnosis and treatment algorithm. Based on bladder therapy combined with suitable physical and psychological therapies, a well-grounded multimodal therapy and treatment algorithm for IC/BPS following a diagnostic protocol are indispensa ble.

Longitudinal deterioration in lower urinary tract symptoms after artificial urinary sphincter implantation in patients with a history of pelvic radiation therapy
ConclusionsLongitudinal deterioration in LUTS that improved immediately after AUS implantation was observed in patients with a history of pelvic RT, but not in patients without a history of pelvic RT. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Association between voiding lower urinary tract symptoms and findings on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging with regard to pelvic organs and their supportive structures
ConclusionsvLUTS may be associated with the proximity of the bladder and cervix to the pubic bone and consequent compression of the urethra by the prolapsed organs. vLUTS with OAB might indicate more advanced lower urinary tract dysfunction than vLUTS alone.

Optimal endoscopic treatment and partial cystectomy with or without bladder augmentation for Hunner ‐type interstitial cystitis
AbstractInterstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) presents a significant challenge for urologists in terms of management, owing to its chronic nature and adverse impact on patient quality of life. Given the potential distinction between two disease entities within IC/BPS, namely Hunner-type IC and BPS without Hunner lesion, there is a need for an optimal therapeutic approach that focuses on the bladder lesions in Hunner-type IC. In cases where Hunner lesions are observed, complete transurethral ablation of these lesions should be prioritized as the initial intervention, as it has demonstrated effectiveness in sy...

Effects of a new selective β3‐adrenoceptor agonist, vibegron, on bladder and urethral function in a rat model of Parkinson's disease
ConclusionsThe results of the present study provide corroborating evidence that bladder dysfunction is suppressed by the administration of vibegron in Parkinson's disease model rats, confirming that vibegron is effective for treating overactive bladder without further worsening urethral function. These findings may contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of β3-adrenoceptor agonists. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Number of patients with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome seen before versus during the COVID ‐19 pandemic at an academic, urban, multisite urogynecology practice
ConclusionsAlthough more patients were diagnosed with IC/BPS during versus before the pandemic, the difference in diagnosis rates was not different between these periods. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Serum anandamide and lipids associated with linoleic acid can distinguish interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome from overactive bladder: An exploratory study
ConclusionsSerum anandamide may be a feasible diagnostic biomarker for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Reduced serum anandamide levels may be associated with pain and inflammation initiation, reflecting the pathology of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. Furthermore, our findings suggest that abnormal linoleic acid metabolism may be involved in the pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome.

The expression and distribution of TACAN in human and rat bladders
ConclusionsTACAN was found in human and rat bladders. TACAN was mainly distributed in the urothelial and detrusor layers and bladder nerves. The expression of TACAN was upregulated in the CYP-induced rat model of IC/BPS. This new discovery will provide a theoretical basis for future research on the function of TACAN in the bladder and a potential therapeutic target for IC/BPS.
