Abstract

To assess the prevalence of nocturia in association with other voiding symptoms in men with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Seventy-three patients in whom OSAS was diagnosed at Gifu Red Cross Hospital during the period from October 2005 through April 2006 were assessed on the basis of the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI). Nocturia was defined as two or more voids per night. We classified patients by the presence versus absence of nocturia and by age (less than 50 years versus 50 years or more). Between-group differences in the AHI and IPSS were analyzed by Student's t test or the Mann-Whitney U test. Nocturia was found in 30 patients with OSAS (41.1%). The AHI was higher in patients with nocturia than in those without nocturia (P <0.01), especially in patients less than 50 years of age (P <0.005). However, other voiding symptoms were not associated with nocturia in the OSAS patients younger than 50 years. The prevalence of nocturia is high among patients with OSAS. Our results suggest that OSAS may have some relationship to nocturia without other voiding symptoms in men less than 50 years of age.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
