LONG EXAM 1- Lower Urinary Tract Disorders, Pelvic Organ Prolapse, Anorectal Dysfunction Flashcards
The effective urethral closure is influenced by several factors which include:
Sympathetic nervous system mediation
Muscle tone and strength
Intraabdominal pressure
Muscle attachment to the pelvic walls
Muscle tone and strength
This occurs with increase in abdominal pressure and can be treated with pelvic muscle exercise, vaginal devices, lifestyle changes, and surgery.
Urinary incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence
Urgency urinary incontinence
Mixed urinary incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence
The urinary bladder function is mediated primarily by:
Parasympathetic nervous system
Involuntary muscle contractions
Sympathetic nervous system
Micturition reflex
Sympathetic nervous system
This is accomplished by voluntary relaxation of the pelvic floor and urethra, accompanied by sustained contraction of the detrusor muscle, leading to complete bladder emptying:
Normal voiding
Micturition reflex
Bladder filling and emptying
Urinary incontinence
Normal voiding
The alpha receptors of the sympathetic nervous system are primarily located at which part?
Bladder body
Bladder neck
Detrusor muscle
Brainstem
Bladder neck
The pontine micturition center serves as the final common pathway for all bladder motor neurons and transection below this area would lead to this condition:
Urinary frequency
Incontinence
Urinary retention
Detrusor overactivity
Urinary retention
This is the involuntary loss of urine associated with urgency and with effort or physical exertion or on sneezing or coughing:
Urgency urinary incontinence
Mixed urinary incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence
Insensible urinary incontinence
Mixed urinary incontinence
What is the current most accepted theory of stress urinary incontinence pathogenesis?
Loss of integrity of structures intrinsic to the urethra
Hammock theory
Connective tissue laxity in the vagina and its supporting ligaments
Integral theory
Loss of integrity of structures intrinsic to the urethra
What is the pathophysiology of overactive bladder?
Backward direction of the levator plate
Forward direction of the pubococcygeus muscle
There is no known cause that is documented
Abnormality between the micturition center and the bladder
There is no known cause that is documented
This condition involves a congenital absence of the anterior vaginal wall and the base of the bladder/urethra:
Urethral diverticuli
Ectopic urethra
Bladder extrophy
Vesicovaginal fistula
Bladder extrophy
Which one is a risk factor for urgency urinary incontinence?
Obesity
Advancing age
White women
Parity
Obesity
One of the reversible causes of urinary incontinence is:
Depression
Psychiatric cause
Enuresis
Atrophic vaginitis
Atrophic vaginitis
This is the amount of urine remaining in the bladder within 10 minutes from voiding and the abnormal threshold level is:
<50 mL
>100 mL
>150 mL
<200 mL
> 150 mL
What is the hallmark of advanced bladder testing?
Quality of life measurement
Urodynamic tests
Uroflowmetry
Cystoscopy
Urodynamic tests
This type of detrusor overactivity that refers to the involuntary detrusor contractions occurring at cystometric capacity which cannot be suppressed resulting in incontinence and bladder emptying
Neurogenic type
Phasic type
Terminal type
Idiopathic type
Terminal type
The difference between urethral pressure and vesical pressure is called:
Urethral closure pressure
Pressure profile
Total urethral pressure
Maximum urethral closure pressure
Urethral closure pressure
hat is the normal volume when one has a strong desire to void?
150 mL
200 mL
250 mL
400 mL
250 mL
The cut off pressure during a Valsalva leak point pressure measurement is:
> 60 cm of H2O
200 mmHg
100 mmHg
120 cm of H2O
> 60 cm of H2O
The flow rate during voiding with detrusor pressure is:
<15 mL/sec
<40 mL/sec
>20 cm H2O
<50 cm H2O
<50 cm H2O
Bladder training is one of the nonpharmacologic treatments for which lower urinary tract disorder?
Idiopathic overactive bladder
Stress urinary incontinence
Mixed urinary incontinence
Primary bladder neck dysfunction
Idiopathic overactive bladder
