Such findings indicates that age demonstrates no association with procrastination because of the suppressing effect of depressive symptomatology.PMID:38695380 | DOI:10.1080/13607863.2024.2345781 (Source: Aging and Mental Health)

Persistence with pharmacologic therapy has been limited by efficacy and side effects. A greater understanding of the pathophysiology of overactive bladder has led to the initial evaluation of several drugs affecting ion channels, the autonomic nervous system, and enzymes which may provide useful alternatives for the management of overactive bladder.AREAS COVERED: A comprehensive revi...
