Abstract

Introduction and hypothesis

Sympathetic and parasympathetic pathways of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulate the lower urinary tract. The aim of the present study was to synthesize the evidence regarding ANS regulation in women with urinary incontinence (UI) evaluated through heart rate variability (HRV).

Methods

This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline. Five databases were researched in April 2021 (PubMed, CINHAL, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library) and included cross-sectional studies in full-length publications in the English language. Studies assessed the HRV during bladder filling (group A) and after voiding (group B). The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist was applied for methodological quality assessment purposes.

Results

A total of 920 articles were identified and 5 studies were included. Most studies analyzed the HRV by linear indexes. Studies from group A (n = 2) presented fair methodological quality; one study from group B (n = 3) showed fair methodological quality (Im et al. Korean J Urol. 51:183, 2010) whereas the others presented high methodological quality. One study from group A found an increase in both modulations between women with overactive bladder (OAB) versus women with stress UI, whereas a decrease was reported between incontinent and continent women. Studies from group B showed a decreased sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation in AOB with detrusor overactivity (DO), whereas one study found an increase in both modulations in women with OAB compared with stress UI.

Conclusion

Parasympathetic and sympathetic modulation increased during bladder filling and rest in UI with OAB associated or not with DO. Both modulations decreased during bladder filling in incontinent women and during rest in OAB.

Keine eingeschränkten Kassenleistungen bei Schwangerschaft nach IVF

Nach privat bezahlter In-vitro-Fertilisation muss die gesetzliche Krankenkasse ein Arzneimittel zum Erhalt der Schwangerschaft bezahlen, so ein Urteil des Sozialgerichts in München.

Medikamente verändern wohl Nährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch

Einige Medikamente wie selektive Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer können offenbar die Makronährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch verändern. Das birgt möglicherweise gesundheitliche Risiken für manche gestillte Kinder.

CDK4/6-Inhibitoren bei Brustkrebs in die Zweitlinie aufschieben?

Ergebnisse einer Phase-III-Studie sprechen dafür, dass die Behandlung mit CDK4/6-Inhibitoren bei fortgeschrittenem HR-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs auch auf die Zweitlinie verschoben werden könnte, ohne die onkologischen Ergebnisse zu kompromittieren.

Cannabisextrakt verbessert Antiemese bei Chemotherapie

Sprechen Krebskranke auf die übliche Antiemese während einer Chemotherapie nicht ausreichend an, lohnt sich möglicherweise eine Behandlung mit Cannabisextrakt. In einer Phase-2/3-Studie ließ sich die antiemetische Response mit einem solchen Extrakt erheblich verbessern.
