Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry

Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Salivary gland diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Mucoceles are common, benign lesions of minor salivary glands and ducts, typically asymptomatic.
  • These lesions present as swollen nodules, most often on the lower lip.
  • Mucoceles are distinct from ranulas, which occur in the floor of the mouth and involve major salivary glands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze demographic and clinical data of mucocele cases.
  • To identify the most common age, gender, race, and lesion site.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 173 mucocele cases.
  • Data collected from the Discipline of Stomatology, São José dos Campos Dental School, UNESP.
  • Study period: April 1980 to February 2003.

Rapid Viscoelastic Characterization of Airway Mucus Using a Benchtop Rheometer

Published on: April 21, 2022

Main Results:

  • 173 cases analyzed: 60.12% female, 39.88% male.
  • Most common age: second decade of life (49.42%), range 4-70 years.
  • Most frequent site: lower lip (78.03%); lowest prevalence on soft palate, buccal mucosa, lingual frenum.
  • Predominantly affected: white individuals (71.68%).

Conclusions:

  • Oral mucoceles predominantly affect white females in their second decade of life.
  • The lower lip is the most common site for mucocele development.
  • Findings contribute to understanding the epidemiology of oral mucoceles.
