in this paper, a general introduction is given, presenting the overactive bladder syndrome (oab) and its impact on the quality of life and economical burden in patients affected. moreover, the anatomy, physiology and histology of the lower urinary tract are discussed, followed by a brief overview on the possible role of prostaglandin (pg) and phosphodiesterase type 5 (pde5) in the urinary bladd...

In article number 20220078, Ying Tan and co-workers describe a convenient visualized automatic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) counting strategy based on dark-field microscopy (DFM) for single-cell level telomerase activity detection. this cover, after magnetic separation DNA double-strand unwinding, AuNPs were collected, the was quantitatively measured by visually bright spots DFM. This can clearly...

INTRODUCTION Few studies have adequately addressed the indications, efficacy, and quality-of-life for cystectomy performed for non-malignant bladder conditions. Patients with debilitating non-malignant bladder conditions who have failed all previous conservative therapies may undergo various forms of cystectomy, including partial, simple or radical cystectomy. We provide a review of the current...

The proportion of ail cancers represented by urinary bladder cancer varies greatly wi thin Africa and the Middle East, and the ratio of male to female frequency of occurrence is nearly as variable (Parkin, 1986). ln Egyt, the proportion of bladder cancers among aIl cancers in men is twce that in Zambia, four times that in Zimbabwe and 10 times that in Algeria. Very few formai assessments of the...

The urinary system is the organ system responsible for the production, storage and elimination of urine. This system includes kidneys, bladder, ureters and urethra. It represents the major system which filters the blood and any imbalance of this organ can increases the rate of being infected with diseases. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the performance of different variants of Support Vec...

Although the evidence-based clinical efficacy of acupuncture is uncertain, people are increasingly benefiting from the use of acupuncture to treat their diseases. Sciatica treatments involve nonsurgical and surgical management techniques; acupuncture, for its convenie...

This study addresses the diagnostic value of the Nuclear Matrix Protein 22 (NMP22) test and the Urinary Bladder Cancer (UBC II) test, in comparison to bladder wash cytology for the detection of early recurrence of bladder cancer. Patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCC, n = 60) and patients with benign urological diseases (n = 30) were included in this study. Voided urine ...

New neural electrical stimulation strategy, intended to recover the bladder functions, is proposed. Restoring urinary functions allows voluntary bladder voiding, and reduces or even suppresses hyperreflexia. The preliminary stimulation system is composed of subcutaneous implantable stimulators (an implant) and an external device. The implant includes the selective stimulation for bladder voidin...
