Assessment of bladder wall thickness in women with overactive bladder.
OBJECTIVE To compare bladder wall thickness (BWT) between female patients with overactive bladder (OAB) and aged-matched healthy controls. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-six female patients with OAB and 31 healthy women were enrolled in the present prospective observational study. Qmax and Qave were measured by using uroflowmetry in all of the women in the patient and control groups, and also ma...
متن کاملWhich is a better indicator of bladder outlet obstruction in patients with benign prostatic enlargement--intravesical protrusion of prostate or bladder wall thickness?
OBJECTIVE To determine the correlation of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) and bladder wall thickness (BWT) with clinical and urodynamic parameters, as well as their sensitivity and specificity with regard to bladder outlet obstruction in patients with a benign prostatic enlargement (BPE). MATERIALS AND METHODS 111 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and confirmed BPE completed ...
متن کاملCalcineurin mediates bladder wall remodeling secondary to partial outlet obstruction.
We hypothesized that the calcineurin-nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) pathway is activated following partial bladder outlet obstruction (pBOO), which would allow for pharmacologic treatment to prevent the ensuing bladder wall hypertrophy. Using a model of pBOO in male mice, we were able to demonstrate increased nuclear importation of the transcription factors NFAT and myocyte enhanchi...
متن کاملAlveolar Antral Artery: Does its Diameter Correlate with Maxillary lateral wall Thickness in Dentate Patients?
Introduction: Knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients. Materials and Methods: Thirty five Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)...
متن کاملVirtual CT cystoscopy: color mapping of bladder wall thickness.
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES To improve the conspicuity of bladder tumors in a virtual environment, we developed an algorithm for color mapping the thickness of the bladder wall. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of this algorithm as a component of virtual CT cystoscopy. METHODS Five subjects with a history of superficial transitional-cell carcinoma of the bladder under...
