Abstract

The word "enuresis" is the greek word for incontinence. Enuresis has to be considered as a symptom and not as a disease. We have to keep in mind that urine leaking may be due to an anatomical anomaly (epispadias, ectopic ureter, spinal coral lesion, urethral obstacle) in which case treatment of the underlying disease constitutes treatment of enuresis. Nevertheless, enuresis is isolated in 95% of cases. Three groups are defined depending on whether the bladder is normal, hyperactive or retentionnist with bladder-sphincter dyssynergia. We emphasize the frequency of coexistence of these three aspects and the gravity of a wrong diagnosis. The onset or presence of bladder-sphincter dyssynergia is a major concern for the pediatric urologist due to its severity and the difficulties of treatment.

The causal relationship between multiple cardiovascular diseases and glioblastoma: A Mendelian randomization study.

Observational studies suggest an association between glioblastoma (GBM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but a causal relationship remains unestablished. This study aimed to investigate the causal link between multiple CVDs and GBM risk. The inverse variance weighted method indicated that all 18 CVDs had significant causal associations with GBM (P&#x2005;<&#x2005;.05). Genetically predicted CVDs were uniformly associated with a lower risk of GBM (odds ratio&#x2005;<&#x2005;1), identifying them as potential protective factors. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the absence of significant heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy, and the MR-Steiger test validated the correct causal direction. This Mendelian randomization (MR) study provides evidence that a range of CVDs are causally associated with a decreased risk of developing GBM. These findings suggest shared biological pathways and offer new insights for understanding GBM etiology. We conducted a 2-sample MR analysis using publicly available genome-wide association study data. GBM was the outcome, and 18 cardiovascular-related traits (including coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and venous thromboembolism) were exposures. Instrumental variables were single-nucleotide polymorphisms significantly associated with exposures (P&#x2005;<&#x2005;5&#x2005;&#xd7;&#x2005;10-8). The primary analysis used the inverse variance weighted method, supplemented with MR-Egger, weighted median, and weighted mode methods. Sensitivity analyses, including Cochran Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, leave-one-out analysis, and MR-Steiger directionality test, were performed to ensure robustness.

Effective management of penetrating head injury.

Although head injuries are usually easily recognized, other, less obvious lesions should also be promptly investigated. In either case, outcome is often determined in the first few minutes and hours of management.
