• New cystoscopic diagnosis for interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome using narrow-band imaging system.
  Ueda T, Nakagawa M, Okamura M, Tanoue H, Yoshida H, Yoshimura N. Int J Urol 2008;15:1039-43

• The role of cystoscopy in the diagnosis of Hunner's ulcer disease.
  Braunstein R, Shapiro E, Kaye J, Moldwin R. J Urol 2008;180:1383-6 
  - this study shows that standard clinical evaluation cannot reliably distinguish IC patients with and without a Hunner's lesion
  - the authors conclude that cystoscopy is needed to accurately identify patients with Hunner's ulcer
  - in this study, the diagnosis of IC was strictly made according to the NIDDK criteria implying that cystoscopy with hydrodistension was done

• Intravesical nitric oxide production discriminates between classic and nonulcer interstitial cystitis. 
  Logadottir YR, Ehren I, Fall M, et al. J Urol 2004;171:1148-50
  - luminal nitric oxide was measured in the bladder of patients using a chemiluminescence nitric oxide (NO) analyzer
  - all patients with classic IC (=with Hunner's lesion, BPS types 3A, 3B and 3C) had high levels of NO
  - none of the other patients had any significant increase in NO levels in the bladder
  - the NO level in patients with classic IC was not related to symptoms but rather to the assignment to this specific subgroup of IC
  - the highest levels of NO were found in patients in the initial phase of classic IC
