3.Effects of Aroma Foot Bath on Urination Status and Stress related to Urination in Patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Journal of Korean Academy of Community Health Nursing 2016;27(3):213-220
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate effects of aroma foot bath on urination status (Prostatic Symptom and bother score due to urinary symptoms) and stress related to urination in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS: This study consists of pre- and post-tests in a non-equivalent group design. The 52 BPH patients selected by random sampling in G City were assigned to two groups (experimental group=26, control group=26). Data of their general characteristics, urination status and stress related to urination were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Aroma Foot Bath was performed to the experimental group for 15-20 minutes every day for a week. Descriptive statistics and independent t-test were used for the analyses in this study with the SPSS/WIN 21.0 version program. RESULTS: Prostatic symptom and bother score due to urinary symptoms in the experimental group were improved than those in the control group (t=-7.94, p<.001). Compared to the control group, the stress related to urination in the experimental group (t=-8.78, p<.001) was significantly reduced (t=-5.21, p<.001). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that aroma foot bath is effective in improving urination status and reducing stress related to urination in BPH patients.

Post-micturition dribble is defined as leakage coming after voiding has been completed. Such leakage is often associated with bending or sitting down, and is seldom associated with any demonstrable abnormality. The diagnosis can be made by videourodynamic study. The patient is instructed to press the bulbar urethra manually in the perineum after micturition and evacuate the residue, and symptomatic relief is almost always obtained. We report three cases of patient with postmicturition dribble.

Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):27-29
156 patients with chronic renal failure and 40 medical students with normal health were studied. Early - Morning urine osmolality and urine 24h osmolality were measured. The authors concluded; Early-Morning urine osmolality related with renal concentration function better than urine sample 24h osmolality.

PURPOSE: We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mirabegron add-on therapy to solifenacin for patients with overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature review to identify all randomized, double-blind, controlled trials (RCTs) of this combination (mirabegron and solifenacin) for OAB. Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. A manual search was also performed to investigate relevant references from the retrieved studies. RESULTS: Four publications describing 5 RCTs that compared combination therapy with solifenacin, including a total of 3,309 patients, were analyzed. The mean number of micturitions per 24 hours (mean difference [MD], -0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.65 to -0.26; P < 0.00001), number of episodes of incontinence per 24 hours (MD, -0.71; 95% CI, -0.14 to -0.02; P=0.04), volume voided per micturition, and number of urgency episodes per 24 hours demonstrated that combination therapy was more effective than solifenacin therapy alone. Safety assessments, including common treatment-emergent adverse events (odds ratio, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.95–1.27; P=0.23) and discontinuations due to adverse events (P=0.30), demonstrated that the combination therapy was well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis suggests that mirabegron therapy as an add-on to solifenacin provides a satisfactory therapeutic effect for OAB symptoms with a low occurrence of side effects.

BACKGROUND: For diagnosis of hypertension, prompt blood pressure measurement is necessary. In a clinical setting, increased blood pressure is often recorded during urine-holding. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of urine-holding on blood pressure. METHODS: We analyzed 172 subjets who visited a hospital in Pusan for examinafion of pelvic ultrasonography. We measured urine holding time, blood pressure in a urine-holding state, and blood pressure immediately after urination when pelvic ultrasonography was examined. Paired t-test was performed to compare the pre-voiding blood pressure. The relationship between urineholding time and difference in blood pressure were assessed by Pearsons's correlatian coefficients. RESULTS: In subjects who held urine for no less than 3 hours, mean pre-voiding systolic blood pressure was 124.2+/-20.8 mmHg, mean pre-voiding diastolic blood pressure was 78.3+/-13.3 mmHg, post-voiding systolic blood pressure was 120.0+/-21.0 mmHg, and post-voiding diastolic blood pressure was 75.4+/-12.3 mmHg. Mean difference in systolic bload pressure was 4.2+/-10.7mmHg, and mean difference in diastolic blood pressure was 2.8+/-7.7 mmHg(p<0.05). The correlation between urineholding time and differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressure was not significant(P>0.05) CONCLUSION: Urine-holding for no less than 3 hours made systolic and diastolic blood pressure rise. However, the rise in blood pressure was not proportianal to urine-holding time.

PURPOSE: This study collected and analyzed activity data sensed through smart bands worn by patients in order to resolve the clinical issues posed by using voiding charts. By developing a smart band-based algorithm for recognizing urination activity in patients, this study aimed to explore the feasibility of urination monitoring systems. METHODS: This study aimed to develop an algorithm that recognizes urination based on a patient's posture and changes in posture. Motion data was obtained from a smart band on the arm. An algorithm that recognizes the 3 stages of urination (forward movement, urination, backward movement) was developed based on data collected from a 3-axis accelerometer and from tilt angle data. Real-time data were acquired from the smart band, and for data corresponding to a certain duration, the absolute value of the signals was calculated and then compared with the set threshold value to determine the occurrence of vibration signals. In feature extraction, the most essential information describing each pattern was identified after analyzing the characteristics of the data. The results of the feature extraction process were sorted using a classifier to detect urination. RESULTS: An experiment was carried out to assess the performance of the recognition technology proposed in this study. The final accuracy of the algorithm was calculated based on clinical guidelines for urologists. The experiment showed a high average accuracy of 90.4%, proving the robustness of the proposed algorithm. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed urination recognition technology draws on acceleration data and tilt angle data collected via a smart band; these data were then analyzed using a classifier after comparative analyses with standardized feature patterns.

The effects of subarachnoid administration of 0.5% bupivacaine in 5% and 10% glucosesolution were investigated in a randomized 30 cases undergoing a low limb and low abdominal surgery in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Hanyang University Hospital from October 1st, 1984 to March 31st, 1985. The results are as follows: 1) These were no significant differences between the patients of the three groups in relation to sex, age, weight, height and operation time. 2) The oneset time of the maximum segmental spread of analygesia in the control group was 5 to 10 minutes and 10 to 15 minutes in the experimental groups. 3) The spread of sensory blockade in the experimental groups was lowered 2~3 segment compared with control group. 4) The onset time of complete motor blockade in the control group was 5 minutes and 5~10 minutes in the experimental group. 5) Duration of complete motor blockade in experimental groups was shorter than the control group. 6) The cardiovascular changes were investigated with no significant differences between the patients of the three groups. 7) The minimal complications such as mild hypotension in three cases, micturition difficulty in one case, mild translent headache in one case were investigated in the three groups. According to our investigation of subarachnoid blockade with 0.5% bupivacain 2ml in 5% and 10% glocose solution, it considered that the spread was limited and produced intense sensory and motor block of long duration which was suitable of the low limbs and low abdominal surgery.
