A comparison of normal and high post-void residual urine and urodynamic parameters in women with overactive bladder
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2017, Vol 14, Issue 4
Abstract
Objective To investigate voiding functions and assess the relationships of voiding parameters to overactive bladder symptoms and postvoiding residue volumes. Materials and Methods This is a retrospective study analyzing urodynamic parameters in patients who were diagnosed as having overactive in our urogynecology clinic between April 2014 and April 2016. A total of 290 women who met the selection criteria were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to postvoiding residue volumes: group 1, postvoiding residue volumes <100 mL (n=135); group 2, postvoiding residue volumes ≥100 mL (n=155). Results A total of 290 women were included in the study; the mean age was 71.4 years. A total of 158 (54.5%) patients had detrusor over-activity during urodynamic testing. The mean maximum bladder capacity in elevated group 2 (postvoiding residue volumes ≥100 mL) was significantly higher than in group 1 (postvoiding residue volumes <100 mL) (p<0.01). Additionally, there was a significant difference between detrusor pressure at Qmax in both study groups (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the first-sensation volume between the normal and elevated postvoiding residue volumes groups. Conclusion In conclusion, patients with overactive with elevated postvoiding residue volumes showed increased maximum bladder capacity, but detrusor over-activity was not more prevalent in these women compared with women with normal postvoiding residue volumes.

Role of osteocalcin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and adiponectin in polycystic ovary syndrome patients with insulin resistance
Objective: Insulin resistance (IR) seems to be the main pathogenic factor in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Adiponectin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) are important in IR. The aim of this study was to evaluat...
The effect of pelvic organ prolapse type on sexual function, muscle strength, and pelvic floor symptoms in women: A retrospective study

Tumor necrosis factor alfa and interleukin 1 alfa induced phosphorylation and degradation of inhibitory kappa B alpha are regulated by estradiol in endometrial cells
Objective: When bound to the inhibitory kappa B (IкB) protein, the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-кB) remains inactively in the cytoplasm. Activated NF-кB upregulates the gene expression of many chemokin...
