A comparison between the combination emepronium bromide/flavoxate and emepronium bromide in the treatment of detrusor instability.

Emepronium bromide and flavoxate have both and separately been used with success in the treatment of detrusor instability. In this study we have combined the two drugs emepronium bromide and flavoxate and compared the results with emepronium bromide. 20 consecutive patients with an uninhibited bladder, 12 men and 8 women, were randomly allocated to treatment with either emepronium bromide/flavoxate or emepronium bromide. In this trial we found that treatment with the combination is significantly better than treatment with emepronium bromide only.

Improvement of detrusor instability following repeated bladder distension with cystomat. A case report.

Treatment of idiopathic detrusor instability with drugs and prolonged distension of the bladder is often unsatisfactory. Some amelioration of symptoms was previously described after 24-hour bladder distension with use of the cystomat. A case is presented in which detrusor instability was successfully treated with continuous infusion via the cystomat, and thereby repeated bladder distension, for one week. The symptoms subsided, the cystometric bladder capacity was increased and there was no side effects. The improvement has persisted for six months. Though the mechanism by which the bladder distension exerts its effect is poorly understood, the technique of repeated distension offers an alternative in the treatment of patients with idiopathic detrusor instability.

Amniotic fluid prolactin, decidual prolactin content and decidual prolactin secretion into hypo-, iso-, and sodium chloride hyperosmotic media in vitro in pregnant diabetics at term.

This study evaluated in pregnant women with diabetes mellitus (DM) the prolactin (PRL) concentration in amniotic fluid (A-PRL), the initial decidual PRL content (D-PRL), and the decidual PRL secretion (D-PRL-s) in vitro into isosmotic (315 mmol/kg), hyperosmotic (426 mmol/kg) and hyposmotic (252 mmol/kg) media. Decidual tissue was collected at term from 18 normal pregnancies and from 23 women with DM (White's classification: 7 of class A (without insulin treatment) and 16 of the classes B-F. Twelve of the women with DM had signs of hydramnion. Amniotic fluid specimens were collected from 52 normal pregnancies and 17 of the women with DM. No significant difference was found between normals and diabetics when D-PRL, D-PRL-s into isosmotic medium and A-PRL were compared. No trends could be detected when the insulin treated women were grouped according to White's classification. The increment of D-PRL-s into hyperosmotic medium was 15% in normals (p less than 0.001 compared with isosmotic medium), in the DM group 23% for the non-insulin-treated women (p less than 0.05 when compared with normals) and 25% for the insulin treated women (p less than 0.01). In normals the hyposmotic medium reduced D-PRL-s by secretion 19% (p less than 0.001 compared with isosmotic medium) but no significant difference was observed between normals and diabetic groups (p greater than 0.10). In the group of diabetics no significant difference was found in any of the PRL quantities investigated between those with and without hydramnion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
