Real-time assessment of the behaviour of the bladder neck and proximal urethra during urine leaking in the cough stress test (CST) in supine and standing positions using transperineal ultrasound.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS:The objective was to describe the behaviour of the bladder neck and proximal urethra during urine leaking in the cough stress test (CST) in supine and standing positions using transperineal ultrasound (TPUS). METHOD:We carried out prospective data collection and a retrospective data analysis of 102 women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) who had a positive CST with TPUS in the supine and/or standing position. On TPUS, the behaviour of the bladder neck and proximal urethra was described by the urethral length, urethral funnelling, bladder neck descent (BND), retrovesical angle (RVA) and urethral rotation angle (URA). Differences between the ultrasound findings in the two positions were evaluated. RESULTS:In the 102 women, the mean age was 48 years and mean BMI was 23.8 kg/m2. On TPUS, urine leakage was detected in the supine or standing position in 102 women and in both positions in 81. Between the two positions, significant differences were found in the URA and RVA. In the standing position, the median RVA of 166° was significantly larger than that of 133° in the supine position (p?

Project description:BACKGROUND:Supine imaging modalities provide valuable 3D information on scoliotic anatomy, but the altered spine geometry between the supine and standing positions affects the Cobb angle measurement. Previous studies report a mean 7°-10° Cobb angle increase from supine to standing, but none have reported the effect of endplate pre-selection or whether other parameters affect this Cobb angle difference. METHODS:Cobb angles from existing coronal radiographs were compared to those on existing low-dose CT scans taken within three months of the reference radiograph for a group of females with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Reformatted coronal CT images were used to measure supine Cobb angles with and without endplate pre-selection (end-plates selected from the radiographs) by two observers on three separate occasions. Inter and intra-observer measurement variability were assessed. Multi-linear regression was used to investigate whether there was a relationship between supine to standing Cobb angle change and eight variables: patient age, mass, standing Cobb angle, Risser sign, ligament laxity, Lenke type, fulcrum flexibility and time delay between radiograph and CT scan. RESULTS:Fifty-two patients with right thoracic Lenke Type 1 curves and mean age 14.6 years (SD 1.8) were included. The mean Cobb angle on standing radiographs was 51.9° (SD 6.7). The mean Cobb angle on supine CT images without pre-selection of endplates was 41.1° (SD 6.4). The mean Cobb angle on supine CT images with endplate pre-selection was 40.5° (SD 6.6). Pre-selecting vertebral endplates increased the mean Cobb change by 0.6° (SD 2.3, range -9° to 6°). When free to do so, observers chose different levels for the end vertebrae in 39% of cases. Multi-linear regression revealed a statistically significant relationship between supine to standing Cobb change and fulcrum flexibility (p = 0.001), age (p = 0.027) and standing Cobb angle (p < 0.001). The 95% confidence intervals for intra-observer and inter-observer measurement variability were 3.1° and 3.6°, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Pre-selecting vertebral endplates causes minor changes to the mean supine to standing Cobb change. There is a statistically significant relationship between supine to standing Cobb change and fulcrum flexibility such that this difference can be considered a potential alternative measure of spinal flexibility.

Project description:ImportanceThe anatomic mechanisms underlying positional vs nonpositional obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are poorly understood and may inform treatment decisions.ObjectiveTo examine drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) findings in the supine vs nonsupine body positions in positional and nonpositional obstructive sleep apnea.Design, setting, and participantsA cross-sectional study of 65 consecutive eligible adults with OSA undergoing DISE without marked tonsillar hypertrophy, including 39 with positional OSA (POSA) and 26 with nonpositional OSA (N-POSA) was conducted in a sleep surgery practice at a tertiary academic medical center.ExposuresDrug-induced sleep endoscopy performed in the supine vs nonsupine body position.Main outcomes and measuresDrug-induced sleep endoscopy findings were scored separately for the supine and lateral body positions using the VOTE classification (velum, oroparyngeal lateral walls, tongue, epiglotis) and with identification of a single primary structure contributing to airway obstruction. Velum-related obstruction was separated into anteroposterior and lateral components.ResultsThe 65 study participants had a mean (SD) age of 52.4 (11.7) years, and 55 (84.6) were men. Mean (SD) body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) was 27.2 (3.1), with only 9 (14%) of 65 participants having a BMI greater than 30. The supine body position was associated with greater odds of anteroposterior velum- (odds ratio [OR], 7.28; 95% CI, 3.53-15.01), tongue- (OR, 29.4; 95% CI, 12.1-71.5), and epiglottis-related (OR, 11.0; 95% CI, 1.3-92.7) obstruction in the entire cohort, with similar findings in the POSA and N-POSA subgroups. The supine body position was associated with a lower odds of oropharyngeal lateral wall-related (OR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.07-0.70) obstruction in the N-POSA subgroup, whereas there was no increase in the overall sample or the POSA subgroup. The oropharyngeal lateral walls were a common primary structure causing obstruction, especially in the lateral body position.Conclusions and relevanceIn a study population of primarily nonobese adults, DISE findings differed based on body position, generally corresponding to gravitational factors. Treatments that address velum- and tongue-related obstruction successfully may be more effective in the POSA population.
