Introduction:
Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) is defined by the International Continence Society as urinary urgency, with or without urgency incontinence, usually with increased daytime frequency and nocturia in the absence of proven infection or any other pathology.
Epidemiological data suggest
Invasive endoscopy procedure including Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP), endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA), Endoscopic Retrograde Biliary Drainage (ERBD) and others is more and more popular which become the standard treatment before surgical
Lower urinary tract symptoms is a broad term of subjective urinary symptoms such as nocturia, urgency, urinary incontinence, and frequency of voiding, defined by the International Continence Society. Several disorders and conditions affecting the nervous system that controls the lower urinary system
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a well described cluster of interrelated risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. The main components of MetS are central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycaemia and dyslipidaemia. Individuals with MetS are two to three times more likely
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), defined as a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of ≥25 mmHg at rest and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure ≤15 mmHg, is consistently associated with reduced exercise capacity and intolerable dyspnoea (respiratory difficulty) on exertion. Dyspnoea is a
A prospective cohort study was performed to validate the explicit criteria developed by the RAM. Other goals for the cohort study were: to predict mortality, ICU or IRCU admission, hospital length of stay, changes in symptoms and to evaluate variability among hospitals in the appropriateness of

In a paper recently published, Barr et al, supposed that pulmonary emphysema and bronchial obstruction were inversely related with ventricular telediastolic volume, with the ejection volume and the ejection fraction in patients with severe pulmonary disease. The mechanisms that are involved in the
ASTHMA TREATMENT:
As regards the pharmacological management of asthma, inhaled corticosteroids (eg budesonide, fluticasone and beclomethasone) underlying the maintenance therapy, while beta-2 agonists are the long-term preferred additional treatment. Other common medications are systemic
Patients with moderate to advanced COPD are known to have static hyperinflation (at rest) as a consequence of expiratory flow limitation. Hyperinflation is easily detected by measuring lung volumes during standard pulmonary function testing.
Decreased Inspiratory Capacity (IC) secondary to
Introduction:
Non-neurogenic urinary urge incontinence (UUI) is a common quality of life disorder that becomes more prevalent with age. It is described as a condition that causes people to feel an "urgent" need to urinate due to muscle spasms in the bladder. Factors such as infection, inflammation,

1. Specific Aims:
1. To investigate clinical bladder dysfunction in a cohort of 10 diabetic and 10 stroke patients as assessed by a combined neurophysiologic and urologic assessment.
2. To develop and quantify appropriate study methods for evaluating symptomatic and asymptomatic bladder dysfunction
Approximately 10,000 spinal cord injuries (SCI) occur each year, most of which occur in males (80%). Many of these patients develop neurogenic bladder dysfunction (NGB) characterized by overactivity of the detrusor muscle, termed detrusor overactivity (DO) or detrusor hyperreflexia (DH). They can
