Is the urothelium intelligent? [PDF]

Neurourology and Urodynamics, 2010
AbstractThe urothelium separates the urinary tract lumen from underlying tissues of the tract wall. Previously considered as merely an effective barrier between these two compartments it is now recognized as a more active tissue that senses and transduces information about physical and chemical conditions within the urinary tract, such as luminal ...

Basic and Clinical Aspects of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine: Expression of Non-neuronal Acetylcholine in Urothelium and Its Clinical Significance

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Recently, several reports demonstrate that non-neuronal acetylcholine (ACh) release may contribute to various pathophysiological conditions. In this review, we presented our experiments designed to evaluate the non-neuronal cholinergic system in human ...

Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) offers superior voiding outcomes to traditional transurethral resection and less morbidity than open simple prostatectomy. Likewise, HoLEP has been determined to result in excellent outcomes

Beyond Tradition: An Integrated Toxicological, Ecological, and Public Health Perspective on Aristolochic Acids

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristolochia species have long been used in traditional medicine for their presumed anti‐inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial properties. However, extensive toxicological and epidemiological evidence now demonstrates that these plants contain aristolochic acids (AAs) I and II, highly potent nephrotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic ...

The use of multispectral imaging to distinguish reactive urothelium from neoplastic urothelium

Journal of Pathology Informatics, 2010
The interpretation of urothelial atypia in a setting of chronic inflammation and reactive changes can prove difficult with small biopsies. Limited recuts lessen the efficacy of ancillary studies such as CK20, P53 and CD44 in these instances.To evaluate a triple-immunostain with the assistance of multispectral microscopy.Fifty-three bladder biopsies ...

Phenotyping Overactive Bladder – Part 2: Can Management be Improved by Phenotyping, and Targeting Therapy According to Urgency Type and Other Characteristics? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Management of overactive bladder (OAB) has a stepwise approach in adults and children. This does not account for individual patient variations, which may explain suboptimal outcomes in many patients. Distinct OAB profiles, based on patient characteristics, symptoms, urodynamic findings and imaging have been discussed in Part 1 ...

Interrelations between factors in the development of inflammatory changes in the urinary tract in the comprehensive treatment of patients with urolithiasis

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal
The aim of the work is to analyze the scientific literature data on the principles and state of rational antibiotic therapy use according to factors for the development of inflammatory changes in the urinary tract with the identification of the latter in

Urothelium Patterns Bladder Smooth Muscle Location [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2008
Smooth muscle differentiation is induced in the embryonic bladder by the centrally located urothelium in the undifferentiated mesenchyme in the periphery adjacent to the serosa. We hypothesize that under the appropriate signal the entire undifferentiated bladder mesenchyme is capable of smooth muscle differentiation and that the urothelium patterns ...

What Role Does the Central Nervous System Play in Refractory LUTS, and What Are the Therapeutic Implications? ICI‐RS 2025

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims While many patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) improve by treating peripheral causes, a substantial proportion continue to experience symptoms despite apparently successful interventions. Central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms could potentially contribute to persisting symptoms after the initial peripheral cause has been ...
