Differential expression profile of cold (TRPA1) and cool (TRPM8) receptors in human urogenital organs.
TL;DR: TRPA1 and TRPM8 were differentially expressed in the human urinary bladder and prostate and might be involved in the bladder sensory transduction and the induction process of overactive bladder by BOO.

Systematic Review of the Performance of Noninvasive Tests in Diagnosing Bladder Outlet Obstruction in Men with Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
Sachin Malde,Arjun Nambiar,Roland Umbach,Thomas B. Lam,Thomas B. Lam,Thorsten Bach,Alexander Bachmann,Marcus J. Drake,Mauro Gacci,Christian Gratzke,Stephan Madersbacher,Charalampos Mamoulakis,Kari A.O. Tikkinen,Stavros Gravas +13 more
TL;DR: A thorough and comprehensive review of the literature to determine if there were less uncomfortable but equally effective alternatives to urodynamics for diagnosing bladder problems found that some simple tests appear to be promising, although they are not as accurate.

The Use of Uroflowmetry to Diagnose Recurrent Stricture After Urethral Reconstructive Surgery
TL;DR: Uroflowmetry is an adequate test to screen for postoperative stricture recurrence but only when the voiding curve and urinary symptoms are also evaluated, and the flow rate alone does not appear to be a reliable tool to evaluate strictures recurrence.

Correlation between prostatic urethral angle and bladder outlet obstruction index in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms
TL;DR: PUA may be one method to asses the presence of BOO in men with LUTS and/or BPH by better predicting their likely classification from a pressure-flow study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced ultrasound bladder vibrometry (UBV), a novel method for rapid and non-invasive measurement of bladder wall viscoelasticity.

The Value of Symptom Score, Quality of Life Score, Maximal Urinary Flow Rate, Residual Volume and Prostate Size for the Diagnosis of Obstructive Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Urodynamic Analysis
TL;DR: Which linear combination of scores for symptoms, quality of life, maximum urinary flow rate, residual volume and prostate size best discriminated men with prostatism who do and do not have obstruction is investigated.

TL;DR: Performance statistics for Qmax with respect to BOO may be used to define more accurately the presence or absence of BOO in men presenting with LUTS, so avoiding the need for formal pressure-flow studies in everyday clinical practice, while improving the likelihood of a successful outcome from prostatectomy.

TL;DR: It is shown that at an individual level, the outcome of PFS cannot be predicted accurately by the available non-invasive tests and the use of ANNs, which are better able than traditional regression models to identify non-linear relations and complex interactions between variables, did not improve the prediction of BOO.
Non-invasive measurement of bladder pressure using an external catheter.
Johan J.M. Pel,Ron van Mastrigt +1 more
TL;DR: A newly developed external catheter is validated to measure non‐invasively this pressure, which avoids the risk of damaging or infecting the urethral and bladder wall as occurs with invasive urodynamics.
Noninvasive urodynamics : a study of male voiding dysfunction
TL;DR: It was shown that there exists substantial correlation between the results of clinical examination and the cuff‐uroflow procedure, and that the CUF technique converged more rapidly to a correct diagnosis than standard clinical procedures.
