Foreign body in the urinary bladder is a rare urological presentation and most cases are due to self-insertion usually for autoerotic stimulation. We presented case of 16 years old female who with history recurrent tract infection 6 months. After thoroughly work up she was diagnosed have pen cap her bladder. The foreign detected by abdominal ultrasound, Kidney, Ureter Bladder (KUB) X-ray did no...

We describe the determinants of urinary oxygen tension (Po2) and the potential for use of urinary PO2 as a "physiological biomarker" of the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospital settings. We also identify knowledge gaps required for clinical translation of bedside monitoring of urinary PO2. Hypoxia in the renal medulla is a hallmark of AKI of diverse etiology. Urine in the collecting du...

The pathophysiology of detrusor instability, voiding dysfunction and pelvic pain in patients with non-obstructed bladder remains highly controversial. In the male, most cases of lower urinary tract symptoms are attribute...

Primary small cell carcinoma of urinary bladder is a rare but aggressive disease with poor prognosis and a high mortality rate. It accounts for less than 1 % of all the primary cancers seen in the urinary bladder. Diagnosis and management of this entity poses a challenge to the clinician due to the lack of a standardized protocol for its treatment. Herein we discuss primary small cell carcinoma...

Urinary bladder rhabdomyosarcoma from a 9-month-old female Labrador retriever dog is described. Grossly reddish black multiple friable multinodular masses filled the lumen of the urinary bladder. Histologically, the masses consisted of round, fusiform and polygonal cells with various consistencies. There were also some strap-like cells with chained nuclei and cross-striations.

BACKGROUND Prevalence of lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in children is between 6 and 9% with urinary incontinence (UI) being one of the most common symptom. VARIOUS ASPECTS OF LOWER URINARY TRACT SYMPTOMS LUTS Anatomical anomalies of the urinary tract as well as neurogenic underlying pathology can results in LUTS. Comorbidities and long-term consequences of the LUTD for the female pat...

Bladder pain syndrome (BPS)/interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by pain, pressure, or discomfort perceived to be bladder related and with at least one urinary symptom. It was recently concluded that 3.3-7.9 million women (>18 years old) in the United States exhibit BPS/IC symptoms. The impact of BPS/IC on quality of life is enormous and the economic burden is sig...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphologic features of female lower urinary tract symptoms and to examine the association between morphologic characteristics and urethral function. Materials and Methods: The records of 1,341 women with lower urinary tract symptoms and one single urodynamic diagnosis were reviewed. These include 560 subjects with genuine stress incontinence, ...

Urinary bladder cancer is the second most common genitourinary malignancy in Westernized countries. A number of emerging imaging techniques have recently been reported in the literature for use in imaging bladder cancer. While the explicit application of MR imaging in bladder cancer especially in non-distant bladder cancer or bladder cancer localized in pelvic remains uncertain and awaits a tho...
