Real‐World Patient Characteristics and Treatment Patterns Among Patients With Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS)

Reproductive, Female and Child Health, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is linked to bladder and/or pelvic pain, pressure, and discomfort with urinary frequency. Despite guidelines, there is a need for better treatment options. This study analyzed patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment patterns for medications and procedures in ...

Downstream Treatment Burden and Health‐Care Utilization Following Initiation of GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists or SGLT2 Inhibitors in Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 5163-5173, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, yet their downstream consequences in routine clinical practice remain incompletely characterized.

Simultaneous quantification of 12 different nucleotides and nucleosides released from renal epithelium and in human urine samples using ion-pair reversed-phase HPLC [PDF]

, 2012
Nucleotides and nucleosides are not only involved in cellular metabolism but also act extracellularly via P1 and P2 receptors, to elicit a wide variety of physiological and pathophysiological responses through paracrine and autocrine signalling pathways.

Piezo1 Channel Mediates Mechanically Programmable Drug Delivery to Potentiate Intravesical Chemotherapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
This study utilizes programmable mechanical pressure as a therapeutic enhancer to establish a mechano‐chemotherapy strategy. Controlled pressure activates the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in bladder cancer, triggering a calcium ion cascade that transiently and reversibly amplifies membrane permeability to chemotherapeutics.

Mechanotransduction in the Brain: Soliton Theory, Piezo Receptors and MR Elastography in Headache Pathophysiology

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose This narrative review aims to explore how incorporating mechanical and thermal dimensions can complement and extend the classical Hodgkin‐Huxley (HH) model to enrich the understanding of headache and pain pathophysiology. Method This review examines the integration of three distinct concepts with the HH model.

Intravesical hyaluronic acid treatment for ketamine-associated cystitis: Preliminary results

Urological Science, 2015
Introduction: Long-term ketamine abuse may cause variable lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and severe cystitis. The clinical features of ketamine-associated cystitis (KC) are very similar to bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC ...
