Does urodynamics investigation on children with vesicoureteral reflux identify overactive bladder and poor compliance in those with voiding dysfunction?
Our findings suggest that voiding dysfunction does have objective and quantifiable effects on bladder dynamics. Urodynamic evaluation may play a role in the management of children with VUR by identifying those with bladder dysfunction secondary to abnormal voiding habits.
Downregulation of alpha-catenin expression is common in gastric carcinoma, and alpha-catenin expression may be used as a differentiation marker. Downregulation of alpha-catenin expression may be an early event in tumorigenesis. Reduced alpha-catenin expression is not correlated with H. pylori infection.
