The Pacific: war time enuresis

In the HBO TV series The Pacific, episode 4, Marines are stuck for weeks in a tropical rainforest in some island in the Pacific during the rain season. The soldiers never have a chance to get dry. Many soldiers are afflicted by enuresis. The cause of their affliction is never properly explained although it is strongly suggested that the cure is to stay dry (!!). In this wikipedia article, I see no reference to such cases of war time enuresis. Further explanations would be appreciated. AugustinMa (talk) 06:09, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Due to the nature of the conditions and often partial training of unit medics, the enuresis in this situation is probably as a result of other conditions. Partial malnutrition, exposure, limited ability for hygiene, high humidity and a tropical setting combined with continually being wet/damp, as well as low morale, means that the likely cause is bacterial or fungal infection and/or poor health. With regards to the show itself, since it can be as a result of extreme stress/mental instability/ptsd, this is why they assess him in the hospital. "Staying dry" is the best treatment they can give the soldiers assuming poor health/urinary tract infection, as it will help them recover and boost morale, due to the lack of medicine available. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed-the-alchemist (talk • contribs) 05:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Copyvio?

While looking for a reference for the text about the 13th chromosome being related to enuresis, I came across http://pediatrics.med.miami.edu/nephrology/pediatric-nephrology-clinical-services/conditions-procedures/bed-wetting-enuresis, which a lot of this page seems to be a copy or very close paraphrase of. --220 of ^Borg 03:37, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Foundations II 2020 Group 8's proposed edits

This article's organization is off to a good start but missing a lot of information. I would add in information about different types of enuresis, epidemiology, background, cause, prevention, management, impact (economic etc.).K. Lam, Future UCSF Pharm.D.

• • all members of group 7 contributed to this comprehensive peer review** — Preceding unsigned comment added by EWoo95 (talk • contribs) 21:07, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

-move the History section up towards the beginning of the article

-the first word in the Causes section is not capitalized

-in the first section- adding a hyperlink to the wikipedia page for behavioral therapy inn order to provide some background info to those unfamiliar with what behavioral therapy is

-in the epidemiology section- do not start a sentence with a number

-under Causes section- think about moving the first two sentences to another/its own section/in the Impact section

-suggest placing the Cause and the Impact sections next to each other

-in the Causes section it is stated that caffeine intake causes enuresis and that those age 12 to 24 consume more caffeine, but it does not mention the incidence of enuria in this age group-maybe include some info on the incidence in this population

-add a hyperlink for nocturnal polyurea wikipedia page to provide background info

-under Management- consider moving the Medications section above the Acupuncture section in order to follow the order in which they were listed in the intro section

-Do the group’s edits substantially improve the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review “Guiding framework”? Yes, the group'sedits substantially improved the article as described in the Wikipedia peer review guiding framework.

-Has the group achieved its overall goals for improvement? The group has achieved its overall goals for improvement listed in their Talk pAge.

Overlap with nocturnal enuresis

Much of this article appears to deal with nocturnal enuresis. It is worth questioning whether it is even reasonable to have two different articles in the first place. However, in lieu of that, perhaps the overlapping material from this article can moved into nocturnal enuresis. Any thoughts or concerns?―Biochemistry🙴❤ 22:49, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi, Biochemistry&Love, and welcome to Wikipedia, LLu, Future UCSF Pharm.D., EWoo95, AHean2022, and other new editors. I thought about this question, and the trouble I'm having is that I don't understand where the boundary between incontinence and enuresis is. The article says incontinence is "involuntary", and that enuresis is due to an "inability" – and "inabilities" sound pretty "involuntary" to me.

Is the difference between enuresis and functional incontinence just the time of day? Or is there something else going on? I suspect that all of the articles in this subject area would benefit from a little compare-and-contrast. For example (and I'm just making this up, so the facts might all be wrong), "Organic urinary incontinence is what you call uncontrollable urination due to an identified physical or neurological problem; enuresis is what we call this when there's no known problem but the kid still can't control urination at night; and functional incontinence is the name for when it looks like all the body parts ought to function, but the person can't control urination during the day". (There might be other things that need to be clarified as well, such as the difference between functional incontinence and urge incontinence.) WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:16, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
