Differentiating the Clinical and Variant Spectrum of Hardikar Syndrome From Other MED12‐Related Developmental Disorders

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rare X‐linked female‐restricted Hardikar syndrome (HDKR, OMIM # 301068) is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including orofacial clefts, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, and cardiac anomalies, but cognitive and neurobehavioral development is rarely impaired.

Genome Sequencing in 19 Families With Bladder Exstrophy and Epispadias Complex Indicates Involvement of the ADGR‐Gene Family

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bladder exstrophy and epispadias complex (BEEC) is one of the most severe congenital malformations of the urogenital tract, significantly impacting continence, sexual function, and renal function. To date, the only recurrent genetic aberration identified is the 22q.11.2 microduplication, but several candidate regions and genes including ...

Complete Duplication of the Bladder and Prostate with Bifid Urethra but a single Urethral Meatus : A unique case report

Urology Case Reports
The presence of a duplicated urinary bladder and prostate has not been described. We report the case of a complete duplication of the urinary bladder and prostate, associated with one urethral meatus and a bifid urethra.A 68-year-old male presented with ...

Establishment and multifaceted characterization of a graded spinal cord injury model based on graduated impact depth

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
We established a graded spinal cord injury (SCI) model based on graduated impact depth, which was subsequently characterized across multiple dimensions, including locomotor function, imaging, histology, and transcriptomic profiles. We further identified transcriptomic changes in graded SCI at different time points postinjury and investigated the ...

A case report of melanosis of the bladder within a bladder diverticulum and associated Aerococcus urinary infection

Urology Case Reports
Background: Melanosis vesicae is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of melanin within the bladder urothelium. Case presentation: We present a case of a 72-year-old male with a history of recurrent urinary retention, bladder diverticula, and

Metformin enhances external urethral sphincter integrity and restores continence via AMPK activation in a rat model of stress urinary incontinence

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The pathogenesis of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is intimately associated with injury to the external urethral sphincter (EUS). In this study, we established an SUI model induced by double vaginal distension and demonstrated that metformin treatment activated the AMPK signaling in the EUS tissue.

Sonography of tumors and tumor-like lesions that mimic carcinoma of the urinary bladder

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2014
One of the basic abdominal organs that is assessed during transabdominal ultrasound examination for urological reasons is the urinary bladder. The bladder must be filled with urine. This is a prerequisite for a reliable assessment and, at the same time,

Therapeutic Applications of Stimuli‐Based Release and Engineering of Extracellular Vesicles

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the effects of endogenous and exogenous stimuli, their effects on the natural release of extracellular vesicles, as well as their uptake and release. It also gives an overview of stimuli‐responsive EVs and their therapeutic applications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nano‐ to microsized lipid bilayer membrane‐bound particles, are

Chronic kidney disease and urological disorders: systematic use of uroflowmetry in nephropathic patients [PDF]

, 2018
Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a highly prevalent condition. Urologic disorders are known causes of CKD, but often remain undiagnosed and underestimated also for their insidious onset and slow progression.

A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of
