The abilities of single channel cystometry and standard multichannel cystometry to diagnose bladder instability were compared in 100 women taking part in a single blind crossover trial. In 93 of the women both tests yielded the same result. The single channel system detected every case of detrusor instability but in seven women suggested detrusor contractions that were not evident on multichann...

Having just completed 1,000 Litholapaxies, I venture to submit a short account of the operation, its difficulties, its complications and its results. There are few places in India which offer greater opportunities for the performance of this operation than Hyderabad in Sind. And this fact leads me to discuss very briefly why vesical calculi should be so 'prevalent in this district. Although cas...

Bladder stones in men are thought to be almost exclusively due to outflow obstruction. We studied the incidence of operations for urinary outflow obstruction and bladder stone to establish the relationship between these two conditions in Kelantan. In only 48 (31%) of 154 men undergoing removal of bladder stones was a procedure for outflow obstruction performed. Thus the remaining 69% had no cli...

INTRODUCTION Most bladder stones develop in patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Intravesical stone formation after surgery outside the urinary bladder is rare. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old Taiwanese woman with lower urinary tract symptoms following a hysterectomy 14 years ago presented to our hospital. The intravesical calculus had developed from non-absorbable sutures and hung on th...

This is to report the case of a huge vaginal stone, and bladder calculi in a 26-year-old woman with previous operation of bladder exstrophy. It seems that the vaginal stone was secondary to the remaining wire used in her previous reconstructive surgery for pelvic closure 20 years ago and now surgery is performed to remove the vaginal and bladder stones.

Objective. To assess treatment efficacy and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence 3 years after treatment with nonsurgical transurethral radiofrequency collagen denaturation. Methods. This prospective study included 139 women with stress urinary incontinence due to bladder outlet hypermobility. Radiofrequency collagen denaturation was performed using local anesthesia in an o...

pyelonephritis. Resolution was not possible in the presence of an enlarged prostate and an indwelling catheter as reinfection of the kidneys was inevitable; Cases 3, 5, i and 12 survived because the urinary obstruction was removed and the drainage tubes discarded. Infection recurred in Cases 3 and 5 because the chronically distended bladder had not had time to contract down sufficiently and com...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors, which belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Some PPARgamma agonists, such as pioglitazone, and dual PPARgamma/PPARalpha agonists, such as muraglitazar, induced urothelial bladder tumors in rats but not in mice. In this study, we investigated the early effects in the urine and bladder of rats tr...

Body organs are very crucial when it comes to homeostatically maintaining them. If any changes occur in their function, may lead the development of diseases body. The kidney is one functionalised that connected with ureter and urinary bladder, which basically lower part priorly controls volume various body fluids, fluid osmolality, acid-base balance, electrolyte concentrations, removal toxins. ...
