Serial transurethral cystometry: A novel method for longitudinal evaluation of reflex lower urinary tract function in adult female rats [PDF]
Physiological Reports, 2022 Aims The aim of the study is to develop a minimally invasive method for longitudinal evaluation of lower urinary tract function that allows for simultaneous measurements of bladder pressure and external urethral sphincter (EUS) electromyographic (EMG ...

An unusual cause of acute loin pain during cystometry
Indian Journal of Urology, 2006 We report two cases of inadvertent ureteric catheterization by cystometry catheter causing acute loin pain. Ultrasound of kidneys in the first patient showed the presence of air in the pelvicalyceal system.

Analysis of rhythmic rectal contractions during filling cystometry in women
International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2009 Purpose: Rhythmic or random rectal contractions independent of bladder activity are frequently observed during cystometry and usually attributed either to a neurological disease, or to ageing.

Urodinâmica convencional versus cistometria simplificada para caracterização da incontinência urinária feminina Conventional urodynamics versus simplified cystometry for characterization of female urinary incontinence [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2004 OBJETIVO: avaliar a concordância dos diferentes parâmetros urodinâmicos comparados à cistometria simplificada, permitindo uma diminuição na relação custo-benefício no diagnóstico da incontinência urinária de esforço (IUE) na mulher.

Effects of Vornorexant, a Dual Orexin Receptor Antagonist, on Bladder Function in Rats and Nocturnal Voiding Frequency in Patients With Insomnia. [PDF]
Int J UrolABSTRACT Objectives Nocturia has been reported to exacerbate sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and poor sleep quality, resulting in increased risks of falls, fractures, and mortality. These consequences significantly impact the physical health and overall prognosis of patients.

Parasympathetic overdrive as a cause of overactive bladder in a high-fat-diet-induced obesity mouse model. [PDF]
J PhysiolAbstract figure legend Obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are well‐known major risk factors for overactive bladder (OAB). Mechanisms underlying obesity‐/MetS‐associated OAB were explored using a high‐fat‐diet (HFD)‐induced obesity mouse model. HFD‐induced obesity/MetS mice developed an OAB phenotype characterized by enlarged non‐voiding contractions

Animal Models of Hunner-Type Interstitial Cystitis. [PDF]
Int J UrolABSTRACT Background Animal models are crucial for mechanistic studies and therapeutic development of human diseases. At present, the etiology of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), a chronic disease of the urinary bladder, remains undefined.

The Aged Lower Urinary Tract: Deficits in Neural Control Mechanisms
Frontiers in Aging, 2021 Bothersome urinary symptoms plague many older adults and disproportionally affect women. Underreporting of symptoms and general stigma/embarrassment associated with incontinence has negatively impacted the availability of treatments, as research cannot ...

Ventrolateral Periaqueductal Gray Neurons Are Active During Urination
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 The ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (VLPAG) is thought to be the main PAG column for bladder control. PAG neurons (especially VLPAG neurons) and neurons in the pontine micturition center (PMC) innervating the bladder detrusor have anatomical and ...
