Toronto, Canada Abstract Bladder Bowel dysfunction (BBD) represents a broad term used to describe a multitude of conditions associated with incontinence or Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) that commonly is seen in primary Family and/or Pediatrics care. The BBD spectrum includes lower urinary tract conditions such as overactive bladder and urge incontinence, voiding postponement, underactive bladder, and voiding dysfunction, and, importantly, also includes bowel issues, as constipation and encopresis. BBD is often not recognised by family or child or even the referring professional, but it is the secondary symptoms of wetting or UTI, that prompts the child to be evaluated by a consultant. The goal of this review is to provide a practical guideline for diagnosis and management of BBD in children, common problem in daily pediatric practice. Most importantly, considering that most of these issues are functional, is that the majority of these children are best evaluated and treatment instituted by the primary provider, with referral to a specialist, only in exceptional cases. Keywords: Bladder bowel dysfunction; Lower urinary tract importantly, most of these children likely can be evaluated and treatment symptoms; Dysfunctional elimination syndrome; Urinary tract instituted without early referral to a specialist. -

The most common of the Müllerian anomalies affect the uterus and may adversely impact reproductive outcomes highlighting the importance of gaining understanding of the genetic mechanisms that govern normal and abnormal development of the female reproductive tract. Modern molecular genetics with study of knock out animal models as well as several genetic syndromes featuring abnormalities of the female reproductive tract have identified candidate genes significant to this developmental pathway. Further emphasizing the importance of understanding female reproductive tract development, recent evidence has demonstrated expression of embryologically significant genes in the endometrium of adult mice and humans. This recent work suggests that these genes not only play a role in the proper structural development of the female reproductive tract but also may persist in adults to regulate proper function of the endometrium of the uterus. -
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in Middle-Aged and Elderly Men
Ⅵ Prostatic Diseases Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in Middle-Aged and Elderly Men JMAJ 47(12): 543–548, 2004 Tomonori YAMANISHI Associate Professor, Department of Urology, Dokkyo University School of Medicine Abstract: Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) include storage symptoms (previously termed as irritative symptoms), voiding symptoms (previously termed as obstructive symptoms) and post-micturition symptoms. The International Continence Society (ICS) published a new standardization of terminology of lower urinary tract function in 2002. Storage symptoms include increased daytime frequency, nocturia, urgency and incontinence. Of incontinence, stress, urge and mixed incontinence are the major symptoms, and ICS has also defined enuresis, continuous incontinence and giggle incontinence as other types of incontinence. Urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia, can be described as overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome, urge syndrome, or urgency/frequency syndrome. These syndromes suggest urodynamically demon- strable detrusor overactivity, but may be due to other forms of urethro-vesical dysfunction. Overactive bladder is an empirical diagnosis used as the basis for initial management after assessing lower urinary tract symptoms, physical findings urinalysis, and other indicated evaluation. Voiding symptoms include slow stream, splitting or spraying, intermittency, hesitancy, straining and terminal dribble. Post micturition symptoms include a feeling of incomplete emptying and post micturition dribble. The “feeling of incomplete emptying” symptom was formerly categorized as either a storage symptom or a voiding symptom, but has been categorized among the post micturition symptoms in the new ICS terminology. “Post micturition dribble” is the term used when an individual describes the involuntary loss of urine immediately after he/she has finished passing urine, usually in men after leaving the toilet. -

Effectiveness of Ureteric Reimplantation on Non-Refluxing Obstructive
EFFECTIVENESS OF URETERIC REIMPLANTATION ON NON-REFLUXING OBSTRUCTIVE CONGENITAL MEGAURETER SHAFIQUR RAHMAN1, MOHAMMAD ABDUL AZIZ1, MM HASAN1, NURUN NAHAR HAPPY2, TASNEEM MAHJABEEN3 1Department of Urology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, 2Department of Plastic Surgery and 100 Bed Burn Unit, DMC & H, Dhaka, 3Department of Dermatology, BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka Abstract: Background: One in ten thousand children born with megaureter. A significant portion of this groups are of obstructed variety and the rest are refluxing ureter. It can cause obstructions and back pressure renal damage. Early diagnosis and treatment can stop deterioration of renal function and prevent complications like renal failure. Definitive treatment is uretero-neocystostomy with or without tailoring the ureter. Objective: Objective of this study was to observe the effectiveness of ureteric reimplantation on non-refluxing obstructive congenital megaureter. To achieve this objective we had observed serum creatinine level pre and postoperatively and assessed structural changes in kidney by ultrasonogram, IVU, MCU and RGP pre and postoperatively. We also observed the split renal function and split GFR of the affected kidney both pre and post operatively. Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study. This study comprise of 35 cases of congenital non-refluxing obstructed megaureter, who were admitted in BIRDEM General Hospital and multiple other hospitals in Dhaka city from July 2013 to December 2014. Diagnosis was made by intravenous urography (IVU) reveling a dilated lower third or entire ureter with narrow tapering lower end. Obstruction was also confirmed by diuretic Tc99m DTPA scan. A voiding cystourethrogram was obtained to exclude VUR. Those with poor renal function were evaluated by ultrasonography, DTPA scan and retrograde ureteropyelography. -
