Urinary diversion is a detour of the urinary tract. It may be necessary in different scenarios and can either be continent or incontinent, catheterisable or orthotopic. Pathological situations which may demand a urinary diversion are varied and include anatomical, physiological, congenital and traumatic causes, e.g. urethral stenosis and partial or complete urethral disruption; bladder dysfunct...

Spontaneous rupture of the urinary bladder is a rare occurrence, and when encountered it is a diagnostic challenge. We present an unusual case of urinary bladder rupture in a patient with severe cerebral palsy who initially presented with localized abdominal pain and during admission developed generalized peritonitis caused by bladder rupture. In this case, the patient had none of risk factors ...

PURPOSE Management for posterior urethral disruption and concurrent bladder neck incompetence is controversial. Some groups recommend treatment with a Mitrofanoff catheterizable stoma, while others advocate urethral reconstruction with delayed placement of an artificial urinary sphincter. We report our experience with the latter strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of all p...

The antioxidative properties of pig urinary bladder mucosa were compared with those of gastric and intestinal mucosa using nitroxide radicals. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method was used to monitor the metabolic processes of nitroxides in mucosae. The reduction of nitroxides was measured on intact luminal surfaces of gastric, intestinal, and urinary bladder mucosa, as well as in homog...

Background:Spontaneous bladder rupture is a rare condition, and almost all the reported cases in the world have been preceded by bladder dysfunction, radiotherapy, urinary tract obstruction, pelvic surgery, inflammation, and malignancy. Case report: In this study, we present the case of a 39-year-old woman (G: 4, P: 1, Ab: 2) who was in week 38 of pregnancy and attended our hospital with the on...

Klinger MB, Vizzard MA. Role of p75 in female rat urinary bladder with cyclophosphamide-induced cystitis. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 295: F1778–F1789, 2008. First published October 8, 2008; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.90501.2008.—Previous studies demonstrated changes in urinary bladder neurotrophin content and upregulation of neurotrophin receptors, TrkA and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75), in mic...

Urinary bladder paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor and nonfunctional bladder paraganglioma is extremely rare and difficult to diagnose due to their non-secreting nature. We report a rare female case of nonfunctional bladder paraganglioma with detailed clinicopathological data and follow-up information. The patient presented with supra-pubic pain. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 11...

TERT promoter mutations were recently discovered in melanoma by next generation sequencing. Subsequently, several malignancies including urothelial carcinoma were also found to be associated with the same TERT promoter mutations. Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the urinary bladder is a rare subtype with an aggressive clinical course. Despite the frequent occurrence of TERT promoter mutations in u...

aims:Bladder and Bowel Dysfunction (BBD) can negatively affect a child's quality of life and self-confidence. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment of BBD are essential to prevent secondary morbidity, affecting kidney and bladder function and mental health. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bladder-intestinal disorders in children with UTIs. Methods:The present study employe...
