In the dynamics of the lower urinary tract, further knowledge has been gained above all concerning distribution and characterization of the adrenoceptors. Moreover recent results of both experimental and clinical research have focused attention on the role of the peripheral adrenoceptors in seminal ejaculation and related disorders. On the other hand, norepinephrine has been accepted as the principal neurotransmitter in the control of penile detumescence and flaccidity. The rationale of applying such knowledge to minctional, erective and ejaculative disorders is discussed on the basis of a literature review as well as of our own studies on the topic.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the role of FVC (frequency volume chart) in the male patient with urinary incontinence. That will definitely help to evaluate patient’s objective lower urinary tract symptoms including incontinence and guide to manage those symptoms. But there are less number of reported studies showing role of FVC in men with urinary incontinence.Methods: Male patient (19-60 years) presenting with incontinence symptoms from 1st February 2018 to 30th July 2018, were enrolled in the study. They were asked to record the time and volume of each oral fluid intake, voided volume for 3 consecutive days and put tick in the column of incontinence in the FVC if present.Results: Total 205 male patients presented with incontinence symptoms were evaluated, they were divided into 3 age groups (19-32, 33-46 and 47-60 years). Mean incontinence were found 2.65 (19-32 years). 2.99 (33-46 years) and 3.13 (47-60 years). In 47-60 years group total oral fluid intake is positively correlated with frequency (p <0.05) but not in other groups. Correlation of Nocturia with incontinence (p >0.05) and frequency with incontinence (p >0.05) were not statistically significant in any age groups.Conclusions: The FVC is the registration of voiding parameters by patient in his own environment. Assessment of lower urinary tract symptoms based on a history alone is not accurate, value of FVC are found to be consistent and accurate, so it will guide us to initiate management in male with urinary incontinence and also help to assess treatment responsiveness.

The significant number of publications describing unsuccessful cases in the introduction of health information systems makes it advisable to analyze the factors that may be contributing to such failures. However, the very notion of success is not equally assumed in all publications. Based in a literature review, the authors argue that the introduction of systems must be based in an eclectic combination of knowledge fields, adopting methodologies that strengthen the role of organizational culture and human resources in this project, as a whole. On the other hand, the authors argue that the introduction of systems should be oriented by a previously defined matrix of factors, against which the success can be measured.
