Reliability of Urinary Bladder Pressure Measurement in Critical Care
… a predictor 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°) …

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 …

Developmental regulation of smooth muscle contraction in the urinary bladder
Smooth muscle cells in the urinary bladder are involved in the control of urine filling and emptying. We have used mice to study the contractile regulation of urinary bladder smooth muscle during the fetal period. We found that nerve-induced contractions are mainly dependent on muscarinic receptor …

Porcine urinary bladder matrix in an in vitro equine model of tenogenesis
… integrity, leading to reinjury. Porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) provides a scaffold and source of bioactive proteins to improve tissue healing, but has received limited attention for treating tendon injuries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of UBM to induce …

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 …

The Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 4 Channel: A New Player in Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle Function
<p>Overactive bladder (OAB), often characterized by increased detrusor smooth muscle (DSM) contractility, is a highly prevalent disorder affecting ~17% of the US population. The current pharmacotherapy for OAB consists of antimuscarinics which have many adverse side effects and limited efficacy. …

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 …

Studies into the effects of gonadectomy on the canine urinary bladder with reference to acquired urinary incontinence in the bitch
Acquired urinary incontinence in the canine is a distressing and debilitating condition affecting up to 20% of neutered bitches, whilst less than 1% of entire bitches and males suffer from this condition. Although a number of medical and surgical therapies exist for treatment of acquired urinary …

Proteomic analysis of the olfactory mucosa, thoracic aorta, urinary bladder, and descending colon of smooth muscle alpha actin null mutant mice
… changes have been identified in the aorta, bladder, colon, and olfactory ensheathing cell population in the olfactory nervous system. These include impaired vascular contractility, thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections, hypocontractile bladders, gastrointestinal hypoperistalsis, and …

Arsenic in drinking water caused ultra-structural damage in urinary bladder but did not affect expression of DNA damage repair genes or repair of DNA damage in transitional cells
Arsenic is a human carcinogen associated with urinary bladder transitional cell carcinoma and other cancers. Arsenic is also a strong comutagen and cocarcinogen. One possible mode of action for arsenic carcinogenesis/cocarcinogenesis is inhibition of DNA damage repair. In laboratory animals, …

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 …
