Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and severity of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) and sexual dysfunction in fibromyalgia (FM) patients, as well as their relationship with disease severity. The results showed a high prevalence of OAB and sexual dysfunction in FM patients, and indicated a significant correlation between disease burden and sexual dysfunction and OAB.

Summary: Overactive bladder (OAB) and interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) are two lower urinary tract disorders with overlapping symptoms, making it difficult to accurately differentiate between them. This study identified a subgroup of OAB patients with bladder pain (OAB-BP) that could be distinguished from those with OAB alone through urodynamic study (UDS) findings. The clinical presentations and urodynamic parameters of OAB-BP and IC/PBS were found to be more similar than those of OAB alone.

Summary: This study investigated the association between physician-patient communication and patient satisfaction with overactive bladder (OAB) medical care, as well as clinical effectiveness. The findings suggest that adequate physician-patient communication significantly contributes to improving clinical effectiveness and satisfaction with medical care in OAB patients, thereby increasing treatment continuation.

Summary: This study presents an overview of the association between overactive bladder (OAB) and fibromyalgia, finding a positive correlation between the two syndromes. It also shows that fibromyalgia is associated with the severity of OAB and has a negative impact on the quality of life. However, additional studies are needed for a more precise conclusion.

Summary: The pathophysiological mechanisms of overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) are largely unknown, but the central nervous system (CNS) plays a major role. The periaqueductal gray (PAG) in the brainstem is important in communication between the bladder and the CNS. This study assessed the consistency of PAG functional organization in OAB patients and found differences in functional patterns compared to controls.

Summary: This study analyzed 4450 OAB patients and found an association between arterial hypertension and OAB, but the effect sizes were small and not significant enough to justify adaptation of clinical practice.

Summary: Women with symptoms of overactive bladder often have significant bacterial growth in enhanced urine cultures, not detectable through routine culture, suggesting the presence of subclinical infection. Enhanced culture techniques should be routinely used for the effective diagnosis and management of overactive bladder.

Summary: The study revealed significant differences in urine IL6 and lactoferrin between OAB patients and controls, with clinical implications related to symptoms and pyuria. These pathological markers were missed by standard screening methods, indicating the need for reevaluation of UTI in OAB patients.

Summary: This research explores the neurotoxicity of low-dose cyclophosphamide on the urinary bladder of rats through in vivo and in vitro studies. The results indicate that low-dose CYP treatment induces nerve injury, leading to bladder pain and overactive bladder in female rats. The up-regulation of Nlrp6 and Casp11 may contribute to these pathological changes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between the prevalence of circadian syndrome (CircS) and overactive bladder (OAB). Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2018 were analyzed using three multivariable logistic regression models. The results showed a positive association between the prevalence of CircS and OAB, with a significantly higher prevalence of OAB in individuals with CircS. A positive correlation was also observed between the number of CircS components and the prevalence of OAB when the components were =6. No significant interaction was found in the three models.

Summary: This review article discusses the causes, incidence, evaluation, and treatment options for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after radiation therapy (RT) for prostate cancer (PCa). It emphasizes the potential risks of RT, challenges of treatment, and the need for thorough evaluation and treatment strategies for patients. Further research is necessary to provide evidence of the effectiveness and feasibility of management approaches for patients with LUTS after RT for PCa.

Summary: The characteristics and management of bladder and urethral injuries in Korea were analyzed using the NHIS database. The study found that the incidence of urethral injury is increasing annually, while the incidence of bladder injury remained unchanged. The incidence of bladder injury was higher in females, and majority of urethral injuries occurred in males.
