A short breathing tube called a snorkel allows the diver to breathe at the surface while the face is immersed.
Occurring at a rate between 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 50,000 [25] with a male-to-female ratio of 2.3–6:1, [26] [27] [28] bladder exstrophy is relatively rare. For those individuals with bladder exstrophy who maintain their ability to reproduce, the risk of bladder exstrophy in their children is approximately 500-fold greater than the general ...
Without diagnostic evaluation, the cause of underactive bladder is unclear, as there are multiple possible causes. UAB symptoms can accurately reflect impaired bladder emptying due either to DU or obstruction (normal or large storage volumes, elevated post-void residual volume), or can result from a sense of incomplete emptying of a hypersensitive bladder (small storage volumes, normal or ...
Injections of botulinum toxin into the bladder is another option. [3] Urinary catheters or surgery are generally not recommended. [3] A diary to track problems can help determine whether treatments are working. [3] Overactive bladder is estimated to occur in 7–27% of men and 9–43% of women. [1] It becomes more common with age.

Bladder outlet obstruction is included in the spectrum of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). CAKUT is the most common cause of birth defects, occurring in 1 out of 1000 live births, and accounts for approximately half of all cases of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease in children.
