Summary
Research on overactive bladder (OAB) shows a rapid increase in publications until 2019, followed by a decline. Future research will focus on clinical applications and medication safety, but technological innovation remains a challenge.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Public Health
Background:
- Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition affecting global health and quality of life.
- Urgent need to urinate characterizes OAB, necessitating research into its progress and trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct the first bibliometric analysis of overactive bladder research.
- To examine the progress and development trends in the OAB field using bibliometrics and visualization.
Main Methods:
- Extracted global publications on OAB from Web of Science (Jan 2004 - Aug 2022).
- Performed bibliometric and visual analysis using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.
Main Results:
- Publication growth peaked around 2019, followed by a decrease.
- The United States is the most active country; Univ Pittsburgh, NEUROUROLOGY, and URODYNAMICS are leading institutions and journals.
- Keywords clustered into experimental study, symptoms, clinical use, and quality of life, with "overactive bladder" being most prevalent.
Conclusions:
- Overactive bladder research shows increasing international collaboration.
- Future research will likely focus on clinical applications and medication efficacy.
- Lack of radical innovation in experimental technologies presents a significant obstacle for the field.

01:19Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry
264
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...

1.2K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

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,...
