Determining the optimal initial dose for Japanese patients with nocturnal polyuria using an initial dose of desmopressin 50  μg
ConclusionsOur study suggests that an initial dose of 50  μg is more effective than a uniformly minimum dose based on factors such as age and physique. Furthermore, a high continuation rate can be achieved by appropriately reducing the dose, if adverse events occur. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Does histological prostatic inflammation during transurethral resection of the prostate for bladder outlet obstruction affect post ‐operative urinary outcomes?
ConclusionHistological prostatitis is associated with worse urinary outcomes after TURP compared to no inflammation. These results are useful in improving prognostic discussions with patients after TURP. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Cold stress ‐induced bladder overactivity in type 2 diabetic mellitus rats is mitigated by the combination of a M3‐muscarinic antagonist and a β3‐adrenergic agonist
ConclusionsThe cold stress-induced bladder overactivity was not improved by either the M3-muscarinic receptor antagonist or the β3-adrenergic receptor agonist alone. However, the combined treatment mitigated the cold stress responses. Combined therapy with M3-muscarinic antagonists and β3-adrenergic agonists could reduce side effects and improve the quality of life for diabetic patients with bladder overactivity.

Factors predicting treatment success in mixed urinary incontinence treated with midurethral sling
ConclusionsMUS may be offered to women with stress-dominant MUI. However, postoperative urgency might change a patient's perception of treatment despite successful incontinence treatment. MUS does not appear to be a good option when MUI patients have a high OAB-V8 score, symptom duration>9.5  years, DM, or use of anticholinergic medication preoperatively.

Effect of intravesical tarantula cubensis extract (Theranekron) on inflammation in an interstitial cystitis rat model
ConclusionsIntravesical TCE instillation produces an anti-inflammatory effect by reducing the levels of inflammatory parameters such as IL-6, TNF-alpha, and MPO in bladder tissue. It also accelerates tissue healing by increasing hydroxyproline and fibroblast proliferation. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Effectiveness of game ‐based core exercise in children with non‐neuropathic bladder dysfunction and comparison to biofeedback therapy
ConclusionsAccording to the results of this study, the use of game-based exercises along with biofeedback treatment may reduce DVISS scores in children with non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction. A combination of the two methods may have positively affected the uroflowmetry results of the patients. We think that game-based exercises will contribute to the literature as a new treatment option in the treatment of non-neuropathic bladder dysfunction. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Collateral damage of wandering ProTacks
ConclusionWe have reported a case of a ProTack from a previous hernia repair migrating into the bladder and also causing intestinal obstruction. The case is very rare because of the combination of complications. Clinicians should beware of delayed complications and damage to other organs due to metallic hernia staples.

Predictive factors for the success of trial catheter removal for women with urinary retention
ConclusionsThis is the first retrospective study to investigate the predictive factors for successful trial catheter removal in women with urinary retention. A serum albumin value>3  mg/dl at diagnosis of urinary retention was a significant independent predictor of catheter-free status after trial catheter removal, and age <  70 years-old was a possible contributor. There was no evidence that oral medication contributed to catheter-free status. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)

Trends in minimally invasive surgical therapies for overactive bladder management in Australia
ConclusionDespite the introduction of various OAB drugs, the overall MIST has increased steadily over the last decade, especially with PTNS. Further exploration into the motivators for specific MIST and cost –benefit analysis of these MIST for OAB is warranted. (Source: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms)
