Fibromyalgia and bladder irritability
… cystitis has been treated as a specific bladder condition, it may be part of the disorder of central processing of sensory information as seen in fibromyalgia. The interstitial cystitis symptom index and problem index (ICSI/ICPI) have been used to measure lower urinary tract symptoms and …

Analysis of the Effects of Patient Position and Bladder Volume on Urinary Bladder Pressure
Urinary bladder pressure (UBP) is an important indicator for a variety of medical conditions. Eighty hospital subjects each had their UBP measured four times at various bladder volumes and lying positions. Positions included 0 degrees supine, 30 degrees supine, 30 degrees right lateral and 30 …

Molecular Classification of Bladder Cancer
Decisions in the treatment of bladder cancer today are based on clinical and pathological risk variables such as tumor stage and tumor grade. The importance of these conventional risk variables is well documented since more than 10 years, and they are used routinely in the clinics. Over the last …

Molecular Drivers of Bladder Cancer Motility
<p>Bladder cancer (BC) progression is measured by the degree of tumor cell invasion into the bladder wall and dissemination to distant sites. The study of BC cell motility will both enable development of anti-invasion therapeutics to limit progression of early-stage disease and improve our …

Drug delivery device for bladder disorders
Several pathologies associated with the bladder have wide impacts on society. Overactive bladder (OAB) and interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) are chronic urological conditions characterized by pain, urinary frequency, and urgency with or without urinary incontinence. The …

Restoring bladder function by promoting neuronal regeneration
… assessment involved recording from the bladder and external urethral sphincter (EUS). Systemic artemin treatment resulted in significant increases in the laminar fine fiber population and reinnervation of the sacral parasympathetic nucleus. In a tracer study, where AAV-GFP was injected …

Investigation of neural correlates of bladder control using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in patients with overactive bladder (OAB)
Overactive bladder (OAB) is considered to be a disorder of the urinary bladder and is defined by the International Continence Society Terminology Committee as "urgency, with or without urge incontinence, usually with frequency and nocturia". There is some preliminary evidence using functional …

Ca2+-Activated K+ Channels in Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle: Functional Role and Potential as Therapeutic Targets for Overactive Bladder
<p>Overactive bladder (OAB), often characterized by increased detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) contractility, is a chronic and highly prevalent condition affecting ~17% of the US population. Alterations in the myogenic or neurogenic activity of DSM serve as a basis for involuntary detrusor contractions …

INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER - Aspects on staging and prognosis
… for the individual patient with invasive bladder cancer is a major clinical problem. Currently, decisions regarding therapy are mainly based on tumour stage and grade, the first of which is notoriously demanding to ascertain. New molecular markers are however proposed to be of prognostic …

Nuclear receptor co-repressor actions in bladder cancer
… of a range NRs and co-repressors in four bladder cancer cell lines. Nuclear co-repressor 1 (NCoR1) is over-expressed in RT-112 (1.6 fold) and EJ-28 cells (2.6 fold). This correlates with reduced sensitivity to NR ligands in EJ-28 cells. Stable over-expression of NCoR1 in sensitive RT-4 …

Acupuncture for women with refractive Overactive Bladder Syndrome
To evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture in refractive OAB. The primary aim was to evaluate the effect on frequency, nocturia and urge urinary incontinence. The secondary aim was to evaluate the effect of the response on self-perceived quality-of-life.

The Inactivation of Neurohypophyseal Hormones by the Toad Bladder
<p>The urinary bladder of the toad, Bufo marinus, was homogenized and the particle-free supernatant fraction prepared. Incubation of this fraction with the hormones, oxytocin, arginine vasopressin, lysine vasopressin, and oxytocin ring amide caused their inactivation. The decrease in hormone …

Reliability of Urinary Bladder Pressure Measurement in Critical Care
… of enteral nutrition tolerance (EN). Urinary bladder pressure (UBP) is the gold standard for estimating IAP. Current recommendations for UBP measurement (UBPM) calls for the instillation of normal sterile saline (NSS) into the bladder while the patient is supine with a zero degree (0°) head of …

Understanding missed diagnostic opportunities in bladder and kidney cancer
Background Bladder and kidney cancer are among the ten most commonly diagnosed cancers in the UK every year. Delayed diagnosis is associated with poorer survival and patient reported outcomes. Bladder and kidney cancers pose diagnostic challenges as presenting symptoms such as haematuria and lower …

Closed-loop bladder function control for rats using optogenetics
… are detected. This thesis presents a closed-loop bladder function control system for rats. The bladder activity is monitored using a novel sensor in a less invasive manner than the traditional pressure sensors. A neuromodulation technique called optogenetics is used as the method of intervention …

Experimental Evaluation of Urinary Bladder Marsupialization in Male Goats
Urinary bladder marsupialization has been successful in producing acceptable long-term resolution of clinical cases of obstructive urolithiasis in male goats. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the six-month outcome of urinary bladder marsupialization in male goats. The urinary bladders of …

Changes in gall bladder bile throughout development in Rana catesbeiana
The present study of Rana catesbeinana includes an analysis of the following throughout the course of post-embryonic development: the change in GI tract length and weight; the relative surfactant activity of the bile; the change in major bile pigments. The most rapid and profound morphological and …
