To determine and quantify the cause of nocturia in men, we describe and evaluate the relative contribution of two complementary indices of nocturia: the nocturia index (Ni), a measure of nocturnal urine overproduction, and the nocturnal bladder capacity index (NBCi), reflective of nocturnal bladder

The walls of low-capacity or low-compliance bladders are thought to be less elastic than normal. Pumping of the bladder was found to disrupt collagen-fiber bundles in the rat bladder wall, offering the promise of potential clinical application. This result prompted us to use bladder-pumping therapy
The diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide (D L,CO ) and its value normalized to alveolar volume (D L,CO /V A ) are usually estimated with the single breath method at total lung capacity (TLC). Severely ill patients and small children are not able to deliver a satisfactory vital capacity (VC) or hold
