Urodynamic finding of patients with non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis
...Show More Authors

Background. Nocturnal enuresis (NE), defined as intermittent involuntary urine leakage during sleep, affects approximately 16% of children at age 5 and 10% at age 7, with prevalence declining with age. Aim. To evaluate the urodynamic features of patients with non-monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (NMNE). Methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2015 to September 2020 in a surgical subspecialty hospital within a major medical city complex, including 237 patients. Eligible patients were older than seven years, diagnosed with NMNE, and had refractory enuresis, defined as persistent symptoms despite at least six months of continuous medical treatment. All patients underwent a detailed history, bladder diary review, clinical examination, lumbosacral spine X-ray, and, when indicated, MRI or cystoscopy. Invasive multi-channel urodynamic studies were performed using the MMS Solar Gold system. A dual-lumen 6 Fr transurethral catheter measured intravesical pressure and bladder filling, while a rectal balloon catheter measured abdominal pressure. Patients were positioned in a seated or semi-recumbent posture to replicate physiological voiding conditions. Recorded parameters included bladder capacity, detrusor activity, bladder compliance, sphincter behavior, urinary flow rate, post-void residual volume (PVR), and urethral pressure profiles. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v.26, with p < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results. A total of 237 patients were enrolled (mean age 19.2 ± 12 years). Primary NE was observed in 168 (70.9%) and secondary NE in 69 (29.1%). Bladder overactivity was present in 201 (84.8%). Compliance was significantly higher in overactive than non-overactive bladders, while post-void residual was significantly higher in non-overactive patients. No significant differences were found for bladder capacity, urethral pressure profile, filling IV pressure, or flow rate (p > 0.05). Detrusor–sphincter dyssynergia was present in 30.8%, high post-void residual in 80.0%, high urethral pressure profile in 57.0%, and low urethral pressure profile in 12.6%. Conclusion. Urodynamic evaluation is essential for guiding the management of patients with treatment-refractory NMNE.

An Analytical Study of Viewpoint in Parsi Pour's and Ar-Rikabi's Novels: The Dog and the Long Night and Alibaba's Sad Night as Examples: بررسی تحليلی زاویه¬ی دید در رمان¬های پارسی پور و الرکابی باتكيه بر رمان "سگ و زمستان بلند" و "ليل علی بابا الحزین"

It is noted in the title that the paper studies the viewpoint in the novel The Dog and the Long Night by the Iranian novelist Shahranoush Parsi Pour and in the novel Alibaba's Sad Night by the Iraqi novelist Abdulkhaliq Ar-Rikabi. Both are well known novelists, and about whose stories and novels many critical books, MA theses, and Ph.D. dissertations have been written. Also, some of their literary works have won prizes. Here, the researcher shed light on the concept of viewpoint, its types, and its importance in novels in general. This was done along with tackling the two viewpoints in both novels, where similarities and differences were identified. For this end, the researcher has adopted the analytic-descriptive appro

Natural honey is well known for its therapeutic value and has been used in traditional medicine of different cultures throughout the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of Malaysian Gelam honey in inflammation-induced rats. Paw edema was induced by a subplantar injection of 1% carrageenan into the rat right hind paw. Rats were treated with the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Indomethacin (10 mg/kg, p.o.) or Gelam honey at different doses (1 or 2 g/kg, p.o.). The increase in footpad thickness was considered to be edema, which was measured using a dial caliper. Plasma and paw tissue were collected to analyze the production of inflammatory mediators, such as NO, PGE2

In this article four samples of HgBa2Ca2Cu2.4Ag0.6O8+δ were prepared and irradiated with different doses of gamma radiation 6, 8 and 10 Mrad. The effects of gamma irradiation on structure of HgBa2Ca2Cu2.4Ag0.6O8+δ samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction. It was concluded that there effect on structure by gamma irradiation. Scherrer, crystallization, and Williamson equations were applied based on the X-ray diffraction diagram and for all gamma doses, to calculate crystal size, strain, and degree of crystallinity. I
