    Abstract Purpose of review: Uroflowmetry is widely used for initial non-invasive evaluation of lower urinary tract disorders. Current clinical use is mostly restricted to a scrutiny of the maximum flow rate and uroflow pattern recorded by a conventional flowmeter in a health care facility. There are several advancements in our understanding and in available technologies that promise to transform clinical utilization of this simple test.
    Recent findings: Several aspects of the uroflow test in addition to maximum flow rate and uroflow pattern show potential diagnostic utility. This includes flow acceleration, uroflow indices, uroflow-electromyography including lag time, stop uroflow test, and uroflow-based nomograms. There are initial attempts to use artificial intelligence in analysis. There is also new data with regard to factors influencing variability of uroflow testing that might influence the diagnostic value in as yet uncertain ways including diurnal variability, postural variability, locational variability, and operator variability. There are new technologies for uroflow testing in a home environment allowing for easy repetition. However, there are several challenges owing to a paucity of clinical data and standardization. There are also critical lacunae in terminology that need to be addressed. There are exciting new advancements in the field of uroflowmetry. However, there is need to standardize and validate the newer uroflow tracing analyses and technologies.

    Abstract Purpose: Patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (nLUTD) can be at risk of preventable damage to the upper urinary tract (UUT), a risk that varies with the underlying diagnosis. Existing literature fails to document precisely which domains of UUT must be followed. This review focusses on surveillance of UUT with special emphasis on high-risk nLUTD.
    Methods: Narrative review of available evidence and current global guidelines to identify patients of nLUTD at higher risk of UUT damage and to define each domain that needs to be followed.
    Results: Patients with open spina bifida, spinal cord injury, and anorectal malformation, as well as those with unsafe features on clinical evaluation or urodynamics should be considered at high risk. Structured program should include evaluation of (1) glomerular filtration rate (GFR) which can be estimated ± measured, (2) renal growth (in pre-pubertal children) by ultrasonography, (3) renal scarring by baseline nuclear renogram, (4) hydronephrosis and stones by ultrasonography, (5) vesicoureteral reflux by baseline video-urodynamics, (6) non-GFR measures of renal function (somatic growth, hypertension, proteinuria, anemia and metabolic acidemia). Serum creatinine-based estimations of GFR are more likely to be confounded in select patients with high-risk nLUTD than cystatin-based estimations and measured-GFR. Urological guidelines do not always describe details of UUT surveillance and appear to lack cognizance of nephrology guidelines for evaluation of kidneys.
    Conclusion: A structured surveillance protocol that includes clear documentation of each domain of the UUT is important in ensuring optimum care for patients with high-risk nLUTD.

    Abstract Introduction: One-time life events such as neurological injury can result in lifelong lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). However, it is unclear whether an apparently transient life event can also trigger long-term LUTS. This review examines the possibility of an association and hypothesizes the pathogenesis.
    Methods: A pubmed search was conducted using the MeSH words "life change events," "child abuse," or "stress disorders, Posttraumatic", and LUTS. Additional manuscripts were identified by a hand and citation search.
    Results: Long-term LUTS was noted following temporally remote childhood sexual abuse, adverse childhood experiences, and stressful experiences in adults. There was evidence for an association of childhood sexual abuse and adverse childhood events with both storage as well as voiding LUTS. There was limited evidence that the number of adverse childhood events might increase the risk and severity of LUTS. There was evidence of an association between post-traumatic stress disorder in adults and LUTS. The finding of mental health disorders in such patients could explain some but not all of the observed association suggesting that other factors might also be important.
    Conclusions: There is an association noted between apparently transient lifetime events and the subsequent reporting of LUTS. The timing of these adverse experiences might be important in determining the propensity for clinical manifestation. There is a need to explore this association, establish causality, and determine the underlying etiopathogenesis.

    Abstract Introduction: Neurogenic bladder patients are at long-term risk of secondary upper urinary tract damage. Symptoms are unreliable and follow-up urodynamics is the only method of ascertaining safety of bladder pressures. This review examines the recommendations, shortcomings and utilization of existing guidelines. The evidence with regard to follow-up urodynamics in different settings relevant to neurogenic bladder is evaluated and an algorithm is proposed.
    Methods: A pubmed search was conducted for studies on follow-up urodynamics in patients with neurogenic bladder. Additional search was made of secondary sources including reviews and guidelines.
    Results: The need for follow-up urodynamics should be considered in all patients undergoing an initial assessment and weighed against the risks. Existing guidelines, while unanimous in their recommendation of its utilization, give scant details regarding its incorporation in clinical management. Follow-up urodynamics can document efficacy and identify the need for escalation of therapy in patients on intermittent catheterization and antimuscarinics. Patients with spinal injury, spinal dysraphism and anorectal malformations are at higher risk for upper tract damage. Follow-up urodynamics can help identify patients suitable for intravesical botulinum and mark those destined for failure. Patients undergoing augmentation cystoplasty may be candidates for less aggressive urodynamic follow-up.
    Conclusions: Neurogenic bladder is managed by a broad cross-section of physicians. Clear recommendations and a management algorithm are important for improving patient care. Follow-up urodynamics can identify patients at risk, prevent renal dysfunction and improve the quality of life. There is an urgent need for more evidence on this important subject.

    Abstract Objective: This study examines the outcome of augmentation cystoplasty (AC) in children with stages III and IV chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to neurogenic bladder in which transplantation was not imminent.
    Methods: Hospital records of all children with CKD stages III and IV who underwent AC between 2008 and 2017 were retrieved to study outcome and complications including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, National Kidney Foundation Calculator), somatic growth (percentiles, compared with population data), and febrile urinary tract infections (fUTIs) requiring admission. Statistical analysis was performed using R.
    Results: AC was performed in 13 children with CKD stages III and IV (10 girls; median 8.0 years) with median follow-up of 51 months. Patients had incontinence (10/13), reflux (7/13), and hydronephrosis (13/13) despite antimuscarinics and intermittent catheterization. Bladder capacity was 74% of expected and median compliance was 5 mL/cm H
    Conclusion: AC carries acceptable morbidity in children with CKD stages III and IV secondary to neurogenic bladder. Surgery is effective with improvements in continence, eGFR, somatic growth, and propensity for fUTIs. Ureteric re-implantation might not be necessary.

    Abstract Objective: This systematic review was done to critically appraise the various evidence available in the literature for the presenting symptoms, diagnosis, and management modalities for primary bladder neck obstruction diagnosed on invasive urodynamics in young adult men 18-50 years of age.
    Methods: A search was conducted on PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases until July 2022 to find English-language studies relevant to the topic.
    Results: A total of 10 studies were included. The estimated difference in International Prostate Symptom Score between baseline and 3 months in the subgroup of medical and surgical treatment was found to be -8.82 and -11.25, respectively (P = .37), and after 12 months, it was found to be -7.69 and -17.70 respectively (P .001). The pooled estimate for the difference in Qmax between baseline and 3 months after medical and surgical treatments in the subgroup was found to be 2.92 and 7.03, respectively (P = .18), and after 12 months, it was found to be 4.54 and 7.74, respectively (P .001). The pooled estimate of the difference in post-void residue before and after 3 months of medical and surgical treatments in a subgroup was found to be -31.15 and -70, respectively (P .001), and after 12 months, it was found to be -31.49 and -156.00, respectively (P .001). Quality of life scores improved in both subgroups.
    Conclusion: The alpha-blockers are effective in managing primary bladder neck obstruction in the short term, while bladder neck incision is preferred for better longterm outcomes.

    Abstract Thoracic aortic disease (TAD) is often silent until a life-threatening complication occurs. However, genetic information can inform both identification and treatment at an early stage. Indeed, a diagnosis is important for personalised surveillance and intervention plans, as well as cascade screening of family members. Currently, only 20% of heritable TAD patients have a causative mutation identified and, consequently, further advances in genetic coverage are required to define the remaining molecular landscape. The rapid expansion of next generation sequencing technologies is providing a huge resource of genetic data, but a critical issue remains in functionally validating these findings. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are patient-derived, reprogrammed cell lines which allow mechanistic insights, complex modelling of genetic disease and a platform to study aortic genetic variants. This review will address the need for iPSCs as a frontline diagnostic tool to evaluate variants identified by genomic discovery studies and explore their evolving role in biological insight through to drug discovery.
