(1) Rationale for including propranolol as an adjunct to exposure therapy of paruresis is discussed.
(2) Atenolol, a cardioselective beta blocker, was administered following unsuccessful treatment with propranolol to a male with a significant history of paruresis.
(3) A major difficulty in treating paruresis (psychogenic urinary retention) by prolonged in vivo exposure therapy involves the individual's inability to initiate urination in response to anxiety-provoking stimuli easily and frequently enough to generalize the desired behavior to everyday situations.
(4) Administration of bethanechol chloride, a parasympathomimetic compound that facilitates urination by prompting contraction of the detrusor muscle of the bladder, prior to therapeutic sessions is suggested to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of in vivo desensitization procedures in the treatment of paruresis.
(5) Propranolol, a nonselective beta-blocker, was administered to a client with paruresis (psychogenic urinary retention) following a novel in vivo exposure treatment.
(6) In vivo desensitization was employed with a patient exhibiting chronic paruresis.
(7) Four men with paruresis received trials of atenolol or phenelzine or both.
Syndrome
Definition:
(n.) Concurrence.
(n.) A group of symptoms occurring together that are characteristic and indicative of some underlying cause, such as a disease.
(2) Perinatal mortality is strongly associated with obstetrical factors, respiratory distress syndrome, and prematurity.
(3) The main clinical features pertaining to the concept of the "psycho-organic syndrome" (POS) were investigated in a sample of children who suffered from severe craniocerebral trauma.
(4) Oculomotor paresis with cyclic spasms is a rare syndrome, usually noticeable at birth or developing during the first year of life.
(5) This article describes a number of syndromes affecting the nail unit.
(6) Also we found that the lipid deposition in the glomeruli of patients with Alagille syndrome is related to an abnormal lipid metabolism, which is the consequence of severe cholestasis.
(7) The findings suggest that these two syndromes are associated with dysfunction at two different sites within the frontal lobes.
(9) Twelve families with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) were studied by linkage analysis using 10 polymorphic marker loci from the X-chromosome pericentromeric region.
(10) Moreover, homozygous deletion of the FMS gene may be an important event in the genesis of the MDS variant 5q- syndrome.
(11) This association is delineated from two other "facio-audio-symphalangism" syndromes and from Wildervanck syndrome.
(12) Descriptive features of the syndrome in children, adults and adolescents are given based on the respective work of Pine, Masterson and Kernberg.
(13) This is an easy, safe, and rapid alternative for the emergent treatment of superior vena caval syndrome.
(14) In the course of the syndrome development blood vessel permeability was increased in the anterior chamber of the eye.
(15) Functional as well as mechanical factors may be important in the pathogenesis of cholestatic syndromes.
(16) Anterior borderzone brachial paralysis (ABBP) is a hemodynamic ischemic syndrome of the watershed zone between the anterior and middle cerebral arteries.
(17) The males had characteristic manifestations of the Martin-Bell syndrome.
(18) The first patient, an 82-year-old woman, developed a WPW syndrome suggesting posterior right ventricular preexcitation, a pattern which persisted for four months until her death.
(19) To elucidate the mechanisms by which indomethacin lowers proteinuria, we studied 20 patients with the nephrotic syndrome.
(20) Several investigators have attempted to correlate chromosomal abnormalities with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CLS), but none of them have been conclusive.
