The pretreatment of rats with nebivolol ameliorates bladder contractile dysfunction caused by ischemia ‐reperfusion injury
ConclusionsThe present study indicates that pretreatment of rats with nebivolol (0.4 mg/kg) could improve bladder contractile dysfunction caused by IR injury through suppression of increased oxidative stress and IL‐6 levels. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Clinical feasibility and acceptability of adding cognitive behavioral therapy to pharmacotherapy for drug ‐resistant overactive bladder in women: A single‐arm pilot study
ConclusionsThe new treatment based on cognitive behavioral therapy was well tolerated and feasible in women with drug ‐resistant OAB. Further randomized research is needed to rigorously evaluate the efficacy of the treatment. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Botox rechallenge —An additional tool in the management of an incompletely emptying bladder and inadequate overactive symptom control following sacral neuromodulation
AbstractTwo female patients aged 70 and 72 with video ‐urodynamics‐confirmed detrusor overactivity and detrusor underactivity (DO‐DU) were treated. Patients were refractory to medical therapies and had previously failed intravesical botulinum toxin type A (BoNT‐A) at other centers secondary to urinary retention and difficulty with self‐cathet erization. Placement of an Interstim II device (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) for sacral neuromodulation (SNM) as alternative third‐line treatment partially improved overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms while significantly improving voiding symptoms. Postvoid residual (P...

Trigonal ‐sparing versus trigonal‐involved Botox injection for treatment of idiopathic overactive bladder: A randomized clinical trial
ConclusionTrigone injections are not superior to trigone ‐sparing injections. On the contrary, the incidence of UTI and voiding difficulty were higher. The concept of reflux induced by trigonal injection has not been proven. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Variability of post ‐void residual urine volume and bladder voiding efficiency in patients with underactive bladder
ConclusionsMeasurement of PVR was unreliable because of wide variation in the same individual. The variation of BVE was much smaller than PVR. BVE would be a reliable parameter with good reproducibility for the assessment of emptying function. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

GreenLight HPS laser 120 W vs diode laser 300 W vaporization of the prostate for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in Japanese patients: A prospective, single‐center, randomized clinical trial
ConclusionsBoth laser systems provided comparable improvement in the subjective and objective parameters with excellent hemostatic properties. Although our results suggest that both procedures are useful treatment choices, further follow ‐up is needed to draw definitive conclusions regarding the most ideal laser for treating patients with symptomatic BPH.

Female bladder neck dysfunction —Avideo‐urodynamic diagnosis among women with voiding dysfunction
ConclusionsBND includes 12.3% of women with bladder outlet dysfunction. High ‐pressure BND can cause anatomical BOO, whereas low‐pressure BND is likely to affect micturition through inhibiting detrusor contractility. VUDS is the mainstay diagnostic tool to diagnose BND in women. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Serum creatinine levels in cases of posterior urethral valve: 29 years experience of a pediatric urology reference center
ConclusionsIn patients with posterior urethral valves, nadir creatinine, especially higher than 1 mg/dL, should be considered as high risk for end‐stage renal disease. Therefore, clinicians should improve awareness about early detection and treatment of posterior urethral valves, and these patients should be monitored as early as possible for the risk of chronic kidney disease.
