“…The global incidence of enuresis in children 6-12 years of age was shown to be 15%-25% in one study [3]. While a study in Egypt showed an incidence of 18% among children 9 ± 2 years old [4].…”

Background Nocturnal enuresis (NE) is the involuntary urination that occurs while asleep after an age when bladder control at night is expected. It has a global incidence of 1.4%-28% among 6-12 years old children. The aim of this study is to show the prevalence, risk factors, types of provided treatment of enuresis among studied children in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out among Saudi children, 3-12 years of age, from different cities in Saudi Arabia, during the period from 20 October to 20 November 2019. Data was collected by using a pre-designed questionnaire that was distributed online and included questions designed to fulfill the study objectives. Results This study reported that 31.2% of Saudi children of the chosen ages are suffered from enuresis, the majority occurred at day and night by 55.1% while 43.9% occurred only at night. Participants described types of provided treatment as follows: behavioral modification was the most commonly used by 31.6% followed by pharmacological intervention (29.6%), bed-wetting alarm (6.8%), exercises to strengthen the bladder muscles (6.2%) and surgical intervention reported by 1.5% only. It was found that the improvement of enuresis on treatment occurred in 43.6% of cases. There was a significant reduction of the prevalence of NE with age (peak is 63.6% in 5-7 years old) but no significant correlation was found with gender (p = 0.104). However, there was a significant correlation with parent having history of NE (p = 0.001).

“…The risk factors related to NE reported in different studies include constipation, positive family history, obstructive respiratory disorder, deep sleep, corporal punishment at school, urinary tract infection, etc. [3][4][5][6]. However, the effect of each factor on NE varies from study to study, and no universal conclusion is drawn.…”

Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction - From Evidence to Clinical Practice

Nocturnal enuresis is a condition with complex etiology affecting plenty of children and families. Even though multifarious clinical trials and studies have been designed and completed, some inconclusive results on nocturnal enuresis confuse clinicians. This article aims to provide useful information for clinicians by summarizing the existing evidence on nocturnal enuresis and discussing the effectiveness and safety of different treatments. Nocturnal enuresis mainly results from the disorders related to central nervous system, which may cause nocturnal polyuria, nighttime bladder capacity decline, arousal disorder, and various accompanying diseases. We discussed the efficacy and safety of different treatments for monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis, including standard therapies, simple behavioral interventions, complex behavioral interventions, alarm therapy, desmopressin and other drugs, biofeedback therapy, electrical stimulation, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, massage, and so on. Alarm is still the most effective single therapy with lower relapse rate. Desmopressin has efficacy mainly in children with nocturnal polyuria. Children with detrusor overactivity or decreasing functional bladder capacity can choose anticholinergics. Additionally, tricyclic drugs, biofeedback therapy, electrical stimulation, acupuncture, massage, and so on are therapeutic options for children with nocturnal enuresis.

“…Так, у заражених гельмінтами S. obvelata мишей спостерігалося зменшення дослідницької поведінки [5]. Таким чином, клінічні та експериментальні дані вказують на те, що гострикова інвазія може негативно впливати на центральну нервову систему, що може призводити до неврологічних порушень [6,7]. На жаль дослідження впливу ентеробіозу на поведінкові реакції господаря є поодинокими і найчастіше мають ретроспективний, описовий характер.…”

Найбільш поширеними паразитами лабораторних гризунів є представники родини Oxyuridae. Ми вивчали вплив ентеробіозу на поведінкові реакції щурів лінії Вістар. Моделювання ентеробіозу здійснювали зараженням щурів яйцями гельмінтів Syphacia muris та Aspiculuris tetraptera. Із використанням поведінкових тестів, визначали рівень тривожності та емоційності, товариськості та загальної соціальної взаємодії, а також формування реакції страху. Було продемонстровано істотне збільшення рівня тривожності у щурів із гельмінтною інвазією: 60 % тварин взагалі уникали відкритих ділянок лабіринтів. Ми не виявили змін інших показників поведінки щурів у проведених дослідженнях. Аналіз лейкоцитарної формули показав тенденцію до збільшення кількості еозинофілів у крові заражених щурів, що може свідчити про реалізацію імунної відповіді внаслідок ентеробіозу.
