Twenty-two girls with recurrent urinary tract infection and endoscopically proved cystitis cystica were studied prospectively to determine control of infection with long-term, continuous nitrofurantoin or sulfisoxazole (6 to 12 months), effect on the bladder changes and rate of recurrence of infection after discontinuation of medication. Infection was controlled equally with both drugs but, despite adequate control, 24% had evidence of cystic changes upon completion of the treatment period. An additional 44% became reinfected during the 1-year followup with no drugs. Only one-third of those presenting with urinary frequency, urgency and urge incontinence had improvement of these symptoms with control of infection alone. It appears that childhood cystitis cystica is the response of the bladder to long-term, inadequately treated bacterial lower urinary tract infection. Many months to years of continuous medication are required for healing. Toilet retraining, in addition to anticholinergics, also may be necessary to achieve urinary control.

The results of 350 cystoscopic studies, are presented. In 85.7%, urinary incontinence was present, and in 72% one or more of the following symptoms were present: urgency, dysuria, urinary frequency, vesical tenesmus and nycturia. The following were analyzed: age, parity, uroculture and its relation to cystoscopic findings. Most of the patients (64.5%) were 40 to 60 years old, 54% had seven or more deliveries. Most frequent diagnoses were: urethritis alone or with trigonitis (66.8%) and urethral stenosis (meatus) in 31.4%. Uroculture was done in 96% and it was positive in 20% and negative 76%. In 88% of the patients with a negative uroculture, there were other lesions shown by urethrocytoscopy. From 300 patients with urinary incontinence, only in 155 it was confirmed objectively.

It is well known that urinary disturbance often appears after radical hysterectomy for uterine cancer and is aggravated by additional radiation therapy. The aim of this study is to elucidate the pathogenesis and to establish the treatment method of urinary disturbance after therapy for uterine cancer. Forty-five patients with urinary disturbance and ten normal controls were subjected to this study. Changes in clinical symptoms and findings in the Urodynamic study (UDS) in 12 severe cases were investigated before and after treatment with beta 2-stimulant (Mabuterol HCL). Clinical symptoms in cases treated by radiation therapy alone were rare and mild without any pad exchanges, and appeared 5 years after treatment for uterine cancer. Findings of UDS in these cases were mild low compliance of detrusor at maximum desire to void (Cmdv) and mild low bladder volume at maximum desire to void (Vmdv). In cases treated by radical hysterectomy alone, Cmdv decreased immediatelly after the operation and then maximum urethral closure pressure (cPura) gradually decreased. Concerning the cases treated by radical hysterectomy and radiation, severe low Cmdv and severe low Vmdv appeared 5 years after the treatment for uterine cancer in almost all cases, and low cPura appeared immediately after the operation in half of the cases. Treatment with beta 2-stimulant significantly improved urinary frequency, voided volume and urinary incontinence. In UDS findings, Vmdv and Cmdv were significantly improved by the treatment with beta 2-stimulant. The functional profile length and cPura value were not significantly changed. In uroflowmetry, the maximum flow rate and average flow rate were significantly improved by the treatment with beta 2-stimulant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

We evaluated the effectiveness and side effects of terodiline hydrochloride in 109 patients with urinary frequency and urinary incontinence. The drug was administered at a dose of 24 mg once a day or 12 mg twice a day for 4 weeks. Symptoms such as urinary frequency and urinary incontinence were alleviated in 101 out of 109 patients (92.7%). Mild side effects such as thirst, dysuria, sense of residual urine, orthostatic hypotension and arrhythmia were observed in 9 out of 109 patients (8.2%). Side effects such as orthostatic hypotension and arrhythmia were observed on the 28th day or the 20th day of the administration, but these symptoms disappeared with discontinued use of this medicine. The results obtained from this study suggest that terodiline hydrochloride may be greatly useful for the patients with urinary frequency and urinary incontinence. But we must take account of the side effects such as orthostatic hypotension and arrhythmia.

We report a case of Noonan syndrome with neurogenic bladder. The patient was a 33-year-old man with a chief complaint of difficulty in urination, urinary frequency, and incontinence of urine. He had also various malformations, as deformities of the face, skull and hard palate, webbed neck, nail abnormality, edema of the lower extremities, contraction of visual field, deafness, malrotation of the intestine and so on. The case was diagnosed as Noonan syndrome because his karyotype of chromosome was 46, XY. Malformations of the urogenital organs were mild malrotation of bilateral kidneys, a right renal cyst, left cryptorchidism and pseudo phimosis. The uroflowmetrogram of the case showed a saw-like and flat pattern, with urination starting by tapping lower abdomen by himself. The cystometry and electromyogram of the external sphincter revealed neurogenic bladder with uninhibited contraction and detrusor-external sphincter dyssynergia. This is the first case of Noonan syndrome with neurogenic bladder.

Medical records of 68 horses with urolithiasis were examined. Calculi were in the bladder in 47 horses, urethra in 11 horses, kidneys in 15 horses, and ureter in two horses. They occurred at several sites in six horses. Common clinical signs included hematuria, altered micturition (pollakiuria, dysuria, urinary incontinence), and tenesmus. Weight loss, possibly attributable to chronic renal failure and colic, was associated more commonly with renal and ureteral calculi. Weight loss also occurred in 13% of horses with cystic calculi only. In male horses, most cystic calculi were removed by perineal (ischial) urethrotomy under epidural anesthesia. Although there were few surgical complications with urethrotomy, seven of 15 horses with follow-up suffered recurrent urolithiasis.

A Japanese woman, aged 42, was admitted because of paroxysmal attacks consisting of paresthesia of the left face, tremor in the right hand, epigastric pain and urinary incontinence. A year prior to the admission, she noticed some difficulty in writing, dysarthria and unsteadiness of walking. These symptoms had been persistent since then. At the end of March, 1991, these symptoms rapidly worsened, and she fell down frequently. She also experienced pain behind both eyes, numbness in her left fingers and toe, urinary frequency and the above-mentioned attacks. Neurological examination disclosed bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia and upbeating nystagmus on upward gaze, titubation in the head, scanning speech, dysmetria in all limbs, exaggerated reflexes in jaw and both legs, bilateral extensor plantar reflexes and ankle clonus. SEP showed delayed cortical response with stimulation of the median nerves bilaterally and of the right posterior tibial nerve. P40 was absent with the left posterior tibial nerve stimulation. VEP was normal. T2-weighted image of MRI showed multiple high intensity areas located around the third ventricle, crus cerebri and the right upper part of the pons. The diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was made. Each paroxysmal attack started with numbness in the left face and burning sensation in the neck. Almost simultaneously tremor in the right hand began. The surface EMG showed the rhythmic contractions in the dorsal hand muscles and wrist extensors at a frequency of 6-7 Hz, and sometimes it revealed synchronized contractions of finger flexors and the dorsal hand muscles. A few seconds later she felt painful sensation in the epigastric region, and the tremor gradually increased in its intensity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The self-retaining intraurethral coil is a device to stent the urethra in men who have severe urethral obstruction. It allows them to empty their bladders and still remain continent and sexually active. The device can be used in place of long-term indwelling catheters or as an alternative to surgery. During 1 year, we inserted the stent in 26 men who were poor operative risks. The treatment was successful in 20 (77%). All 20 were able to void satisfactorily. Four of the 20 resumed sexual activity, which previously had been prevented by indwelling catheters. Two patients who had delayed prostatic surgery because of fear of impotence were able to empty their bladders properly and to remain sexually active. Three patients subsequently had surgery, two after anticoagulant therapy could be stopped and one after renal function improved. No difficulties caused by the stent were encountered during surgery. Follow-up was for 2-12 months. Four patients who had had the stent in place for 12 months had no difficulties. In 16 of the 18 patients who had indwelling catheters and infected urine before insertion of the stent, sterilization of the urine was obtained after relatively short courses of antibiotic treatment. Short-term complications associated with the stent were incontinence or urinary retention. These were treated by repositioning the stent. Frequency of urination after insertion of the stent either disappeared spontaneously or was treated with anticholinergic drugs. In six patients, frequency was so severe that removal of the stent and insertion of an indwelling catheter were necessary. Slight to mild dysuria occurred immediately after surgery in all patients but eventually disappeared. Our experience suggests that the self-retaining intraurethral stent has considerable promise for the treatment of prostatic obstruction of the urethra.

The clinical effectiveness and safety of terodiline hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride were studied on 51 patients with neurogenic bladder, stress incontinence, unstable bladder and others, the chief complaints of which were urinary frequency or urinary incontinence. Overall improvement was graded as marked in 6 patients (11.8%), moderate in 20 patients (39.2%), slight in 11 patients (21.6%), unchanged in 13 patients (25.5%) and aggravated in one. The patients impression was "good" or better in 56.9%. There were a total of 13 cases (25.5%) of adverse reactions, namely, 7 cases of finger tremor, 3 cases of dry mouth and others. These reactions disappeared rapidly after the discontinuance of drug administration. The clinical efficacy in the treatment of subjective symptoms was 71.4% for urinary incontinence, 56.4% for diurnal pollakisuria. The examination of lower urethral functions demonstrated a significant (p less than 0.01) increase in bladder capacity at first desire and maximum desire to void. However, we found no significant increase in urethral clossure pressure. The findings of this study suggest that terodiline hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride are very useful for the treatment of urinary frequency and incontinence.
