Kitner/Kittner
Subject: Kitner/Kittner

Can't seem to resolve this...funny thing is, while I was searching I ran across articles about someone named "Kitner" or "Kittner" where they spelled the same person's name both ways in the same article! 


In this situation, I think you've done what you can.  If you don't have a specific reference that seems for any reason most authoritative, it looks like one of those eenie-meenie-minie-mo situations.

Subject: Basically the bladder and the urethra are not communicating. sm

Detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia is an involuntary contraction of the external urethral sphincter during the detrusor contraction. It causes voiding dysfunction and can lead to urologic complications such as hydroureteronephrosis and renal failure among other problems. Patients with spinal cord injuries are particularly vulnerable. And also children going through potty training. You have to consciously make an attempt to relax the bladder when voiding. You void every 2 hours, try to relax as completely as possible, and try to empty the bladder completely.
