Detrusor overactivity post-stroke responds to electroacupuncture
Detrusor overactivity is common after stroke, and is characterized by frequent micturition and urinary incontinence. However, the optimal treatment for post-stroke detrusor overactivity remains unclear. According to a study reported in Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No...

Differences in Outcome and Predictors Between Ischemic and Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The South London Stroke Register Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— ICH has poorer outcomes up to 5 years after stroke. The improvement of functional outcome up to 3 months was significantly greater with ICH. Identification of factors associated with poor outcome may be used for clinical predictions.

Post‐stroke urinary incontinence
ConclusionCurrent evidence supports a thorough assessment to categorise the type and severity of post‐stroke urinary incontinence. An individually tailored, structured management strategy to promote continence should be employed. This has been associated with better stroke outcomes and should be the aim of all stroke health professionals.

Urinary incontinence after ischemic stroke: Clinical and urodynamic studies
ConclusionsIncontinent patients showed a worse functional outcome compared to continent patients. Post‐stroke incontinence may be associated with different urodynamic patterns, each of which may necessitate different treatment strategies. Urodynamic findings in patients with ischemic stroke vary depending upon timing of the study. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Clinical predictors and significance of postvoid residual volume in women with diabetes
Abstract: Aims: To identify women with diabetes at risk of increased postvoid residual volume (PVR) and investigate the relationship of increased PVR to urinary symptoms in women with diabetes.Methods: PVR was measured by bladder ultrasonography in a cross-sectional cohort of 427 middle-aged and older women with diabetes. Participants completed questionnaires assessing urgency incontinence, stress incontinence, daytime frequency, nocturia, obstructive voiding, and diabetes-related end-organ complications: heart disease, stroke, neuropathy. Serum HbA1c and creatinine were recorded.Results: 75% of participants had a PVR of 0...

Prevalence, incidence and remission of urinary incontinence in women: longitudinal data from the Norwegian HUNT study (EPINCONT)
Conclusion: Crude UI prevalence increased between the studies. Changes in known risk factors for UI such as age, BMI, weight and parity could explain some of the relative increase in prevalence, and were also found to be associated with either incidence of UI, remission of UI or both.

Factors associated with persistent urinary incontinence
Objective: Many women with urinary incontinence (UI) have symptoms that continue over many years; however, virtually nothing is known about factors that are associated with persistent UI.Study Design: We studied 36,843 participants of the Nurses' Health Study, aged 54-79 years at baseline for the UI study, who provided UI information on biennial questionnaires from 2000 through 2008; follow-up in the Nurses' Health Study is 90%. In total, 18,347 women had “persistent UI,” defined as urine leakage ≥1/mo reported on all 5 biennial questionnaires during this 8-year period; 18,496 women had no UI during this period. Usi...

Long-term morbidities in stroke survivors: a prospective multicenter study of Thai stroke rehabilitation registry
Conclusion: Long-term complications are common in stroke survivors. More than three-fourths of the patients developed at least one during the first year after rehabilitation. Strategies to prevent complications should be concerned especially on musculoskeletal pain which was the most common complaint. Physical complications at discharge period associated with psychological complications at 1 year followed up. More attention should be emphasized on patients age older than 60 years who were the major risk group for developing such complications.

Multidimensional health risk appraisal among adults aging with acquired disabilities
Conclusion: The SWH-HRA provides a valid and comprehensive health risk assessment. When used in annual wellness visits among persons with disabilities, it has the potential to inform the partnership between health providers and individuals with disabilities as they collaborate to promote healthy aging.

Characteristics of Neurogenic Voiding Dysfunction in Cerebellar Stroke: A Cross-Sectional, Retrospective Video Urodynamic Study.
We report the video urodynamic findings of 15 patients with cerebellar stroke, including eight patients with ischemic and seven with hemorrhagic stroke. Their mean age was 75 ± 13.4 years and the mean interval from stroke to video urodynamic study was 11.2 ± 17.9 months. At urodynamic study, four (50 %) patients with ischemic stroke had urinary incontinence as did two (28 %) patients with hemorrhagic stroke. Detrusor overactivity (DO) was found in eight (53 %) patients, dyssynergic urethral sphincter in six (40 %), and nonrelaxing urethral sphincter in seven (47 %). DO occurred in six (75 %) of patients w...

Gait speed correlates in a multiracial population of community-dwelling older adults living in Brazil: a cross-sectional population-based study
Conclusion: A multiracial population of older adults living in a developing country showed a similar mean gait speed to that observed in previously studied populations. The results suggest that low physical activity, urinary incontinence and high concern about falling should not be neglected and may help identify those who might benefit from early intervention.

2012 - That was the year that was
Geriatric medicine has an encyclopaedic sweep, reflecting the complexity of both the ageing process and of our patient group. Keeping up with, and making sense of, the relevant scientific literature is challenging, especially as ageing has increased in prominence as a focus of research across many branches of the sciences and the humanities. This review of research published in 2012 in generalist, geriatric medicine and gerontology journals has been compiled with a view to extracting those aspects of research into ageing which could be considered relevant not only to the practice of geriatric medicine, but also to our unde...
