Area of Science:
- Urology and Nephrology research.
- Bibliometric analysis of scientific publications.
Background:
- Nocturia is a significant condition requiring a deeper understanding of research trends.
- Identifying key contributors and influential works in nocturia research is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze global research frontiers and trends in nocturia.
- To provide bibliometric data for researchers and clinicians.
- To map scientific outcomes and key indices in nocturia research.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective bibliometric study using Web of Science Core Collection.
- Data analysis and visualization using HistCite™ and VOSviewer software.
- Keywords related to nocturia were filtered and analyzed.
Main Results:
- 1445 publications were analyzed, with 43.53% as articles.
- Weiss JP was the most prolific author; Journal of Urology was the most cited.
- The USA emerged as the most influential and highly cited country in nocturia research.
Conclusions:
- A clear increasing research trend in nocturia has been observed.

01:29Urine Studies I: Urinalysis
93
Urinalysis is a widely used diagnostic test that analyzes urine's physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics. Healthcare providers use it to detect and monitor various health conditions, including renal disease, urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, and metabolic or systemic disorders.Components of UrinalysisUrinalysis consists of three primary components: physical, chemical, and microscopic examination. Each provides unique insights into the urine sample and, by extension, the...

01:21Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System I: Health History
72
The genitourinary system is critical to maintaining fluid balance, waste elimination, and reproductive function. Nurses play a vital role in assessing this system, beginning with a thorough health history. This process involves gathering patient information, identifying risk factors, and recognizing symptoms of genitourinary disorders. Early detection is vital for timely interventions and management.1. Gathering Patient InformationA complete health history includes the patient’s personal,...

01:20Physiology of the Genitourinary System III: Urine Concentration and Dilution
46
The kidneys concentrate or dilute urine to maintain water and electrolyte balance. Nephrons, particularly the loop of Henle, play a crucial role in this process through the countercurrent multiplication system. This system establishes a high osmolarity in the renal medulla, which is essential for water reabsorption. In the loop of Henle’s descending limb, water is reabsorbed into the surrounding medulla due to its permeability to water. In contrast, the ascending limb actively transports...

01:32Filtration and Urine Formation
50.8K
The function of the kidneys is to filter, reabsorb, secrete, and excrete. Every day the kidneys filter nearly 180 liters of blood, initially removing water and solutes but ultimately returning nearly all filtrates into circulation with the help of osmoregulatory hormones. This process removes wastes and toxins but is also crucial to maintain water and electrolyte levels. Most of these functions are performed by the tiny but numerous nephrons contained within the kidneys.

01:19Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry
395
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...

01:26Regulation of Water Output
383
The human body predominantly expels water through the urinary system. On average, an individual generates around 1.5 liters of urine each day. This amount can fluctuate based on how well a person is hydrated, but a critical minimum quantity of urine must be produced to ensure the body's proper functioning. Daily, the kidneys remove 600 to 1200 milliosmoles of dissolved substances, effectively excreting excess minerals and water-soluble toxins such as creatinine, urea, and uric acid from the...
