Inguinal Herniation of the Urinary Bladder Presenting as Recurrent Urinary Retention
Herniation of the urinary bladder into the inguinal canal is an uncommon finding, observed in 0.5–4% of inguinal hernias (Curry (2000)). It is usually associated with other conditions that increase intra-abdominal pressure such as bladder neck ...

A Design Space Exploration (DSE) on Non-Invasive Sensing of Bladder Filling Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) [PDF]
Urinary Incontinence (UI) is a widespread medical condition that affects one person from every three or four Americans. Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive under-study method for bladder filling sensation that can enhance the life quality of UI patients by finding the optimal voiding time.

A machine learning approach to using Quality-of-Life patient scores in guiding prostate radiation therapy dosing [PDF]
Thanks to advancements in diagnosis and treatment, prostate cancer patients have high long-term survival rates. Currently, an important goal is to preserve quality-of-life during and after treatment. The relationship between the radiation a patient receives and the subsequent side effects he experiences is complex and difficult to model or predict ...

Severe Vesico-ureteral Reflux and Urine Sequestration: Mathematical Relations and Urodynamic Consequences [PDF]
Some simple mathematical formulae to calculate the volumes of proximal pyeloureteral reflexive systems are presented, and the results are compared to bladder capacity values. Using the results of the calculi, the author discusses possible implications of severe urinary sequestration in the pyeloureteral systems.

Identification of a cisplatin resistant-based prognostic immune related gene signature in MIBC
Cisplatin resistance plays a significant role in the dismal prognosis and progression of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, the strategies to predict prognosis and cisplatin resistance are inefficient, and it remains unclear whether ...
