  • Extraordinary Urinary Frequency
    Pediatrics, 1991
    Co-Authors: Russell S. Asnes, Richard L. Mones
    Abstract:

    In Reply.— Thank you for the second letter regarding our paper on extraordinary urinary frequency. We would like to respond to this as well. We thank Drs Asnes and Mones for their comments. Pollakiuria and Pollakisuria are synonyms for urinary frequency. Pollakis is a Greek term for often, although it has rather infrequent application in medical English, being limited only to pollakiuria and pollakidipsia in Dorland9s Dictionary.1 The Oxford English Dictionary employs this prefix only in one word, the botanic term, pollakanthic.2

  • Bilateral single-system ureteroceles with multiple calculi in an adult woman.
    Urology, 2008
    Co-Authors: Kentaro Mizuno, Hideyuki Kamisawa, Shuzo Hamamoto, Takehiko Okamura, Kenjiro Kohri
    Abstract:

    A 38-year-old woman was seen with a complaint of Pollakisuria and constant urinary urgency. Ultrasonography; plain radiography of her kidney, ureter, and bladder; and intravenous urography revealed bilateral ureteroceles with calculi. Bilateral transverse incision of the ureteroceles and lithotripsy were performed using a transurethral approach. At 8 months postoperatively, voiding cystography revealed the absence of vesicoureteral reflux. Although controversies remain about the effectiveness of endoscopic incision because of the risk of vesicoureteral reflux, endoscopic management with a transverse incision is well tolerated for such cases.

  • development of multiple calculi in the duplex system ureterocele
    International Journal of Urology, 2006
    Co-Authors: Akihiro Nakane, Yutaro Hayashi, Yoshiyuki Kojima, Kentaro Mizuno, Satoshi Kurokawa, Kenjiro Kohri
    Abstract:

    A 61-year-old man presented complaining of Pollakisuria and nocturia. A plain radiograph of his kidney, ureter and bladder and intravenous urography revealed numerous calculi in the upper kidney of his left renal pelvis and ureterocele. A transurethral incision of ureterocele (TUI-ureterocele) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy were performed. On TUI-ureterocele, the many calculi were found to be almost the same size and spherical in form. The postoperative clinical course was uneventful.

  • SARCOMATOID CARCINOMA OF THE BLADDER:
    2016
    Co-Authors: Munehisa Sakata, Munehisa Takashi, Takao Sakata, Yojiro Nakano, Tatsuya Nagai, Takao Nakano, Yojiro Nagai, Tatsuya Miyake, Koji Miyake
    Abstract:

    We reported a case of sarcomatoid carcinoma of the bladder in a 78-year-old woman presenting with Pollakisuria. She has remained well without any evidence of recurrence for 25 months after radical cystectomy. Microscopic examination revealed a composition almost exclusively of spindle and dedifferentiated cells, accompanied by only " few cells retaining epithelial features of differen-tiation. The latter cells were immunohistochemically positive for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). A concomitant carcinoma in situ was present in the adjacent mucosa. Immunohisto-chemical exploration with EMA proved useful for reinforcing the conventional histological diagnosis

  • Analysis of frequency volume chart in elderly people with Pollakisuria. Comparison between the elderly and the adult
    Nihon Hinyokika Gakkai zasshi. The japanese journal of urology, 1991
    Co-Authors: M. Saito, Atsuo Kondo, Takanori Kato, Soichiro Hasegawa, Kumiko Kato, Koji Miyake
    Abstract:

    Based on the frequency volume chart, 215 patients who complained of Pollakisuria were clinically investigated. The subjects were divided into 2 groups: the elderly group was composed of 85 patients more than 65 years of age (mean of 72) and the adult group comprised 130 patients less than 64 years old (mean of 47). The elderly group was characterized by the fact that, during nighttime (after sleep), their urinary volume was larger, each voided volume was smaller and the number of voiding was greater than the other group. Clinical analysis of the causes of Pollakisuria enabled us to subdivide them into 6 diagnostic categories. Among the elderly patients polyuria during sleep and unstable bladder were prevalent and among adult patients unstable bladder and over hydration were common. Medication was made in 80 patients (37%), while 108 (50%) needed neither medication nor surgery. It is stressed that the frequency volume chart is one of the important diagnostic tools to evaluate the cause of Pollakisuria and to select appropriate treatment.

  • Prevalence and risk factors of constipation and Pollakisuria among older home-care patients.
    Geriatrics & gerontology international, 2019
    Co-Authors: Hitoshi Komiya, Hiroyuki Umegaki, Atsushi Asai, Shigeru Kanda, Keiko Maeda, Hideki Nomura, Masafumi Kuzuya
    Abstract:

    AIM The prevalence of constipation and prevalence of Pollakisuria among older patients receiving home medical care have not been reported, and risk factors for these symptoms are not clear in this setting. The present study sought to determine the prevalence and risk factors of constipation and Pollakisuria among older patients receiving home medical care in Japan. METHODS This study utilized data from patients in the Observational Study of Nagoya Elderly with Home Medical Care (n = 153). We carried out univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses with the presence of constipation or Pollakisuria as the dependent variable to evaluate the relationships between constipation or Pollakisuria and several covariates. RESULTS The prevalence of constipation and Pollakisuria were 56.9% and 15.7%, respectively. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that constipation was associated with Charlson Comorbidity Index score, polypharmacy and Pollakisuria, and Pollakisuria was associated with constipation and insomnia. Cardiovascular disease was inversely associated with constipation. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of constipation among home-care patients was as high as that reported for nursing home residents and higher than that among community-dwelling individuals. Clinicians should be aware of increased constipation risk among home-care patients, particularly for those with a high Carlson Comorbidity Index score, polypharmacy and/or Pollakisuria.
