Context Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) represent one of the most common clinical
complaints in adult men and have multifactorial aetiology. Objective To develop European …

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and its related signs and symptoms (often referred to as
prostatism) are extremely common among aging men, so much so that some have …

Purpose: The objective of the study was to investigate specificity and sensitivity of bladder
wall thickness in the diagnosis of bladder outlet obstruction. Materials and Methods: The …

There is evidence that increased bladder wall thickness can be a useful parameter in the
evaluation of men with clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). However, normal values …

OBJECTIVES: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is considered a frequent cause of bladder
outlet obstruction (BOO) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), although the …

Purpose: To understand the relationship between contractile and structural changes in the
obstructed bladder, rabbit bladder was partially obstructed for up to 70 days and alterations …

Background: A filled bladder acts as an acoustic window for transabdominal ultrasound
measurements of intravesical prostatic protrusion and volume. The aim of this study is to …

Aims Measurements of detrusor wall thickness (DWT) are used to diagnose bladder outlet
obstruction (BOO). No values of DWT exist in healthy adults so far. These values, however …

Context Several noninvasive tests have been developed for diagnosing bladder outlet
obstruction (BOO) in men to avoid the burden and morbidity associated with invasive …

PURPOSE: We estimated the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound detrusor thickness
measurement for BOO and investigated whether this method can replace PFS for the …
