They were followed up at the urology outpatient clinic and were asked to answer the questions in the short version of MAN during a nutritional screening conducted by a medical team, and later answer the questions contained in the full version of the instrument during a nutritional consultation by nutritionists. The data were analyzed and organized by employing a RedCap database. Statistical analysis of data was performed using the SPSS software package.

The aim of this narrative review was to explore the currently available information regarding the diagnosis and management of bladder dysfunction following stroke. The most common symptoms of bladder dysfunction following stroke are urinary incontinence, urgency, increased frequency, and difficulty voiding. Medical history, including voiding diary, physical examination, and urodynamic studies are useful in establishing diagnosis. Bladder pressure in stroke patients with detrusor overactivity is rarely high enough to damage the upper urinary tract. In neurogenic bladder, however, there is always a risk for transmission of intravesical pressure to the upper tract. In incontinent patients, urodynamic studies can reveal bladder hyper- or hyporeflexia, detrusor overactivity with impaired contractility or detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia, or even no abnormalities at all. With stroke patients with urinary dysfunction, establishing a proper diagnosis is of paramount importance to start appropriate treatment, prevent upper tract damage, maintain continence, and ensure complete emptying. After diagnosis, an individually tailored treatment plan is mandatory, including behavioral techniques, lifestyle interventions, and anticholinergic medication. Other therapeutic choices include alternative drugs, intradetrusor injection of botulinum toxin, and spinal neuromodulation. A bladder rehabilitation program is essential for improving post-stroke lower urinary symptoms and depends on the patient's awareness, cooperation, and independence. Bladder dysfunction after stroke, as a strong prognostic factor of disability, exerts an enormous impact on health and economy. Therefore, every single effort toward a proper diagnosis and effective rehabilitation is crucial.</p>","PeriodicalId":72421,"journal":{"name":"Bladder (San Francisco, Calif.)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11409650/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142302330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While platinum-based chemotherapies are the standard first-line option for aUC, some novel treatment alternatives have recently been introduced, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), targeted therapies, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). ADCs, a group of sophisticated biopharmaceutical agents consisting of monoclonal antibodies, cytotoxic payload, and linker, have been increasingly drawing the attention of clinicians.

Genomic research indicated that cells of recurrent bladder lesions are most often clonally derived from the primary UTUC and are likely to seed into the bladder after tumor manipulation. This calls for effective strategies to prevent the spread of UTUC. The methods we discuss here are the use of a ureteral access sheath during diagnostic ureteroscopy, application and timing of intravesical chemoprophylaxis, early ureteral ligation distal to UTUC, and formal bladder cuff excision.
