INTERSTITIAL CELLS OF CAJAL IN ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION [PDF]
Archives of Andrology, 2006 The corpora cavernosa (CC) evokes electric activity. Slow waves (SWs) appear to originate from interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs), which seem to control the activity of the smooth muscle cells (SMC). The ICCs were demonstrated to exist in the CC. We investigated the hypothesis that the ICC distribution differs with each of the various ED types.

Ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children by polar vessels: histological examination result
La Pediatria Medica e Chirurgica, 2023 In children, ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is mostly caused by intrinsic factors (IUPJO) such as abnormal amounts of muscle and collagen deposition; extrinsic UPJO are rare and often due to crossing vessels (CVs).

Segmental ileal dilatation presenting with neonatal intestinal obstruction
Journal of Indian Association of Pediatric Surgeons, 2020 Segmental ileal dilatation is an uncommon cause of neonatal intestinal obstruction. This report highlights a rare combination of abnormal distribution of muscles in the muscularis propria and partial loss of interstitial cells of Cajal as causative ...
