Resources for Patients and Caregivers
Elimination disorders all involve the inappropriate elimination of urine or feces and are usually first diagnosed in childhood or adolescence. This group of disorders includes enuresis, the repeated voiding of urine into inappropriate places, and encopresis, the repeated passage of feces into inappropriate places.

- The impact of constipation on lower urinary tract function and treatment response in patients with non-monosymptomatic enuresisby Yi-Ju Chou on December 20, 2024
CONCLUSION: Constipation in NMNE patients is associated with increased severity of daytime lower urinary tract symptoms and requires more medications to achieve treatment response. However, with proper treatment, the time to partial or complete response is comparable to those without constipation.
- Neighborhood Factors as Correlates of Alcohol Use in the N2 Cohort Study of Black Sexually Minoritized Men and Transgender Womenby Tyrone Moline on December 20, 2024
Sexually minoritized men (SMM), transgender women (TW), and particularly Black SMM and Black TW may be disproportionately impacted by alcohol-related problems. Few studies have empirically examined neighborhood factors that may contribute to alcohol use, specifically among these populations. Using data from the N2 longitudinal cohort study in Chicago, IL, survey data from the second wave of longitudinal assessment (n = 126) and GPS mobility data from enrollment were used to evaluate neighborhood...
- The ameliorative effects of melatonin against BDE-47-induced hippocampal neuronal ferroptosis and cognitive dysfunction through Nrf2-Chaperone-mediated autophagy of ACSL4 degradationby Quan Yuan on December 19, 2024
Recent studies demonstrate that lipid peroxidation-induced ferroptosis participates in 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47)-evoked neurotoxicity and cognitive dysfunction. Melatonin has been indicated to confer neuroprotection against brain diseases via its potent anti-ferroptotic effects. Therefore, this study aims to explore whether melatonin can mitigate BDE-47-elicited cognitive impairment via suppressing ferroptosis, and further delineate the underlying mechanisms. Our results found...
- The Effectiveness of the Low-Glycemic and Insulinemic (LOGI) Regimen in Maintaining the Benefits of the VLCKD in Fibromyalgia Patientsby Giuseppe Castaldo on December 17, 2024
Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disorder that causes damage to the neuro-muscular system and alterations in the intestinal microbiota and affects the psychological state of the patient. In our previous study, we showed that 22 women patients subjected to a specific very low-carbohydrate ketogenic therapy (VLCKD) showed an improvement in clinical scores as well as neurotransmission-related and psychological dysfunctions and intestinal dysbiosis. Furthermore, NMR metabolomic data showed...
