Ultrasonography of the Adult Male Urinary Tract for Urinary Functional Testing05:25

Ultrasonography of the Adult Male Urinary Tract for Urinary Functional Testing

20.0K
We describe the use of high frequency ultrasound with contrast imaging as a method to measure bladder volume, bladder wall thickness, urine velocity, void volume, void duration, and urethral diameter. This strategy can be used to assess voiding dysfunction and treatment efficacy in various mouse models of lower urinary tract dysfunction...

An In Vitro Bladder Model of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection

1.1K
This protocol details an in vitro model of the catheterized urinary tract, which can be used to study both planktonic and biofilm-associated bacterial cell populations in simulated catheter-associated urinary tract infections. This model can be further utilized to study the efficacy of antimicrobial products aimed at controlling urinary tract...

Probe-based Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy of the Urinary Tract: The Technique

21.3K
Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy enables real-time microscopy of the human urinary tract during cystoscopy, providing dynamic, intravital imaging of pathological states such as bladder cancer with cellular resolution. Endomicroscopy may augment the diagnostic accuracy of standard white light endoscopy and provide intraoperative image guidance to improve surgical...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Sexual Medicine
  • Metabolic Syndrome Research

Background:

  • Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual health are interconnected.
  • Treatments for LUTS can negatively impact erectile function, ejaculation, and libido.
  • Recent research explores the complex relationship between LUTS, sexual health, and metabolic syndrome.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent findings on the association between LUTS and sexual health.
  • To summarize current understanding of how LUTS treatments affect sexual function.
  • To highlight emerging research directions and therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies.
  • Analysis of the impact of medical and surgical LUTS treatments on sexual health domains.
  • Exploration of the role of metabolic syndrome and miRNA in LUTS and sexual health.

Main Results:

  • A strong association exists between LUTS, sexual health, and metabolic syndrome.
  • Combination medical therapy (e.g., PDE5-I) shows potential but requires more study.
  • Newer benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) surgeries aim to maintain sexual function.
  • Understanding the underlying biochemistry is crucial for developing better therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to elucidate the biochemical links between LUTS and sexual health.
  • Prospective studies are essential to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of treatments.
  • Developing integrated treatment strategies for LUTS and sexual health is a key future direction.
