AbstractTo analyze the change of detrusor contractility by investigating urodynamic characteristics with long term follow-up. This study retrospectively reviewed 166 lower urinary tract symptoms patients without bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and 63 patients with BOO who underwent repeated urodynamic studies at the first time and more than 10 years later. The urodynamic parameters, bladder contractility index (BCI), and BOO index (BOOI) were compared before and after. As time goes by, detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate (PdetQmax) significantly decreased and post-void residual (PVR) volume significantly increased in both men and women. Full sensation, urge sensation, voided volume, and BCI significantly decreased. We also compared men with and without BOO, PdetQmax, maximum flow rate (Qmax), voided volume, and BCI all significantly decreased in both groups without difference. PVR increased greater in men with BOO after >10 years significantly (p = 0.036). Women with detrusor overactivity (DO) under antimuscarinic showed no significant BCI change compared to patients without DO (p = 0.228). Detrusor contractility decreases in men and women after >10 years of follow-up. However, this finding suggests that patients with BOO or DO under adequate medical treatment, detrusor contractility is not aggravated over 10 or more years of follow-up.

Prolactin producing pituitary adenomas are ultrastructurally characterized by secretory granules varying in size (150-300nm), abundance of endoplasmic reticulum, and misplaced exocytosis. They are also subclassified as sparsely or densely granulated according to the amount of granules present. The hormone levels in men and women vary, being higher in men; so also the symptoms vary between both sexes. In order to understand this variation, we studied 21 prolactin producing pituitary adenomas by transmission electron microscope. This was out of a total of 80 pituitary adenomas. There were 6 men and 15 women in this group of 21 prolactinomas.All of the pituitary adenomas were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde, rinsed in Millonig's phosphate buffer, and post fixed with 1% osmium tetroxide. They were then en bloc stained with 0.5% uranyl acetate, rinsed with Walpole's non-phosphate buffer, dehydrated with graded series of ethanols and embedded with Epon 812 epoxy resin.

Two separate studies investigated race and sex differences in normal auditory sensitivity. Study I measured thresholds at 500, 1000, and 2000 cps of 23 white men, 26 white women, 21 negro men, and 24 negro women using the method of limits. In Study II thresholds of 10 white men, 10 white women, 10 negro men, and 10 negro women were measured at 1000 cps using four different stimulus conditions and the method of adjustment by means of Bekesy audiometry. Results indicated that the white men and women in Study I heard significantly better than their negro counterparts at 1000 and 2000 cps. There were no significant differences between the average thresholds measured at 1000 cps of the white and negro men in Study II. White women produced better auditory thresholds with three stimulus conditions and significantly more sensitive thresholds with the slow pulsed stimulus than did the negro women in Study II.

Based on Eccles’ (1987) model of academic achievement-related decisions, we tested whether women, who are engaged in mathematical fields at university, have internalized, to some extent, the stereotype about women’s inferiority in math. The results indicate that men and women do not assess their ability self-concept, subjective value of math, or performance expectancies differently. However, women’s degree of stereotype endorsement has a negative impact on their ability self-concept and their performance expectancies, but does not affect their value of the math domain. Moreover, members of both genders envisage stereotypical careers after university graduation.
