Micturition cysto-urethrography

Micturating cysto-urethrography in the investigation of enuresis.

Enuresis is an important human problem. The persistence of the disability is regarded with despair by parents, while the patients' distress and embarrassment are difficult to assess. In spite of investigations and treatment by paediatricians, urologists and psychiatrists there is still no reliable cure. During a period of post-graduate study in Stockholm one of us became interested in a new cys...

[The role of voiding cysto-urethrography (VCU) in urological practice (author's transl)].

The role of VCU in the management of various urological conditions was discussed after retrospectively analyzing 197 voiding cysto-urethrograms performed on 167 cases. 1) The normal voiding is initiated when the base plate breaks open by virtue of its own contraction and continues smoothly while detrusor contraction follows toward the trigonal canal which is progressively transformed from the b...

Retrograde cysto-myelogram: Case Report

BACKGROUND In the scenario of blunt trauma with suspected bladder injury, conventional retrograde cystography is the gold standard for accurate diagnosis. CASE DESCRIPTION The authors report the case of a 54-year-old patient who presented with pelvic and sacral fractures and a ruptured bladder after being hit by a vehicle. A retrograde computed tomography cystogram demonstrated extraperitonea...

Cowper's glands and ducts in urethrography.

Caffeine enhances micturition through neuronal activation in micturition centers.

Caffeine may promote incontinence through its diuretic effect, particularly in individuals with underlying detrusor overactivity, in addition to increasing muscle contraction of the bladder smooth muscle. Caffeine may also affect bladder function via central micturition centers, including the medial preoptic area, ventrolateral periaqueductal gray, and pontine micturition center. However, the b...
