ADD - ADHD

Behavioural problems and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children with enuresis: a literature review. (Eur J Pediatr. 2005)”Nearly all studies on the co-morbidity between enuresis and psychopathology in children suggest an increased prevalence of behavioural disorders in general and of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in particular. Ä Psychopathology in enuresis seems to be associated with older age, male gender, low socio-economic status and admission to specialized (university) paediatric clinics. Research that fails to report or to control for these factors will not be able to make generalizations to the total population of enuretic children."

	General Information
An overview of nocturia and the syndrome of nocturnal polyuria in the elderly. (Nat Clin Pract Nephrol. 2008) Does increased urination frequency protect against bladder cancer? (Int J Cancer. 2008) “Our findings suggest a strong protective effect of nocturia on bladder cancer risk, providing evidence in humans that bladder cancer risk is related to the contact time of the urothelium with carcinogens in urine. Increased urination frequency, coupled with possible dilution of the urine from increased water intake, may diminish the effect of urinary carcinogens on bladder cancer risk.”
