Urinary leakage

Have the patient provide a diary of his voiding pattern for the past week date and time of each voiding, volume voided, and whether or not the patient had urinary leakage during the day. 

Signs and symptoms of UI depend on the underlying pathophysiology (Table 84-2). Patients with SUI generally complain of urinary leakage with...

Bladder instability/Overactive bladder For the relief of symptoms of bladder instability/treatment of overactive bladder associated with voiding in patients with uninhibited and reflex neurogenic bladder (eg, urgency, freguency, urinary leakage, urge incontinence, dysuria). 

Case series Seven men and three women, aged 20-30 (mean 25) years, who had all abused ketamine for 1-4 years, developed dysuria, increased frequency (having to void once every 15 minutes), urgency, urge incontinence, and painful hematuria [58 ]. None had positive urine cultures. Functional bladder capacities were 30-100 ml. Urodynamic tests showed detrusor overactivity, with urinary leakage when the bladder was filled to a capacity of 30-50 ml. There was bilateral reflux in one case and unilateral reflux in two seven had bilateral hydronephrosis. [The title of this paper is confusing, since street ketamine is a term that is used to refer to phencyclidine however, in the paper the authors refer to ketamine.]... 

US is usually sufficient for the post-surgical follow-up and demonstrates the ureteral reimplantation well immediate postoperative dilatation is almost always present, but usually transient. In any abnormal clinical course or if the dilatation increases, contrast-enhanced CT (with urographic post-CT views) may be necessary for the proper management of the patients, showing kidney function and in order to exclude hematoma or urinary leakage (Rypens et al. 1992). 

Bladder injury is relatively infrequent in children. It is usually the consequence of blunt abdominal trauma in a child with a full bladder. Motor vehicle accident is a common cause. Seat belt ecchymosis, hematuria and pelvic fractures can be associated. Urinary leakage into the peritoneum is more fre-... 

Nickel carbonyl should be used in totally enclosed systems or under good local exhaust. Plants and laboratories where nickel carbonyl is used should make use of air-monitoring devices, alarms should be present in case of accidental leakage, and appropriate personal respiratory protective devices should be readily available for emergency uses. Monitoring of urinary nickel levels is useful to help determine the severity of exposure and identify appropriate treatment measures. Some large-scale users of nickel carbonyl maintain a supply of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, or Antabuse, a therapeutic agent, on hand for use in case of overexposure. 

Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine.1 It is often associated with other bothersome lower urinary tract symptoms such as urgency, increased daytime frequency, and nocturia. Despite its prevalence across the lifespan and in both sexes, it remains an underdetected and underreported health problem that can have significant negative consequences for the individual s quality of life. Patients with UI may be depressed due to a... 

Urinary incontinence (UI) is the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine. 

Urinary incontinence, or leakage, that may be associated with diuretic use can cause social embarrassment, self-esteem issues, depression, and anxiety. A person suffering from incontinence may stop participating in social activities, sports, and other activities they once enjoyed because of the risk of embarrassing accidents. Bladder training, biofeedback, pelvic toning exercises, or special urethral or vaginal inserts may help to treat urinary incontinence problems related to diuretics. 

Leakage of various plasma proteins into the urinary space as a result of tubulointerstitial damage caused by conditions such as inflammation may also occur. This can cause hema-... 

Consequently, Zyflo was thoroughly evaluated in a number of clinical trials for effects on models of asthma and in the treatment of chronic asthma. Challenge models of asthma with a variety of stimuli (allergen, exercise, cold dry air, or aspirin) were successful. Results in aspirin-induced asthma were dramatically effective, indicating that leukotrienes are the primary mediators of this response. Zyflo also shows remarkable anti-inflammatory effects, as predicted from animal studies (137). Eosinophil influx and albumin leakage were reduced and the urinary increase in LTE, was blocked (86%)(141,142). 

Urinary incontinence—Involuntary leakage of urine. May result from urethral underactivity (stress urinary incontinence), urethral overactivity (overflow incontinence), or mixed pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Exercise - even of short duration - causes changes in blood serum constituents, possibly due to leakage of intracellular components, e.g. enzymes from muscles. Continuous training may cause hemodilution this may in turn lead to apparently too low values of blood components. Changes caused by physical strain may even be seen in urinary excretion of trace elements, as exemplified by a 5-fold Increase of the urinary chromium excretion after running for 2 h (Anderson et al., 1982a).
