BACKGROUND Anterior sacral root stimulation combined with sacral posterior rhizotomy restores bladder function in spinal cord-injured patients suffering from hyperactive bladder. After successful implantation of bladder stimulator, urinary infection rate decreases, and patients are able to get rid of indwelling urinary catheters, which in turn reduce the risks for vesical malignancy. We present...

In most cases, sacral neuromodulation is used as a treatment for urge incontinence and symptoms of urgency and frequency. It is most used in those who are refractory to traditional management. It is much less common to be used for bladder atony. In this report, we present a case of a 24-year-old woman with a history of urinary retention and bladder atony who failed medical management and subseq...

Compromised urinary bladder syndrome (CUBS), a combination of frequency and incontinence, causes multiple discomforts for community-dwelling adults. A holistic intervention--audiotaped cognitive strategies--was designed to augment the effects of an educational program designed to treat CUBS. CUBS was operationalized with a voiding diary, and comfort related to bladder health was operationalized...

The tumor-promoting effect of uracil-induced calculi on rat urinary bladder carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats pretreated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN). Since uracil-induced calculi and papillomatosis of the bladder are reversible, uracil was given for a limited period after the treatment with BBN. Animals were given 0.05% BBN in their drinking water for 4 wk a...

The tumor-promoting effect of uracil-induced calculi on rat urinary bladder carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats pretreated with /V-butyl-A/-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN). Since uracil-in duced calculi and papillomatosis of the bladder are reversible, uracil was given for a limited period after the treatment with BBN. Animals were given 0.05% BBN in their drinking water for 4 w...

Under the current regulatory regime, these costs have been estimated at many billions of pounds. The purpose of this review is to show how recent research has demonstrated that much of the concern over what is generically known as ‘asbestos’ is based on a fundamental...
