The Overactive Bladder Controversies in the Pathophysiologic Basis of Unstable Detrusor Contraction
نویسنده
چکیده
The concept of the overactive bladder was first introduced by Bates in the 1960’s as a description of an observation of the loss of the ability to inhibit normal detrusor activity (Bates 1971). Although emphasizing that the term did not imply a pathology, he acknowledged it to be of considerable importance in clinical practice, mainly because of its possible role as the cause of undesirable symptoms post surgery for incontinence.

We review currently available published data to establish whether there is any evidence to support this contention. Using a PubMed data search, only 14 original articles (including two abstracts) were found that contained cystometric d...

متن کاملP2X receptors and their role in female idiopathic detrusor instability.
PURPOSE It is clear from previous studies that adenosine triphosphate is released as a contractile co-transmitter with acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerves supplying the mammalian bladder but the physiological significance of ligand gated purinergic P2X receptors in human bladder innervation has not been adequately investigated. We examined the role of these receptors in female patients wi...
