DIMITROV, R., P. YONKOVA and K. STAMATOVA, 2010. Comparative ultrasonogarphic study on prostate and bulbourethral glands of tomcat. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 521-525 12 sexually matured, clinically healthy European short hair tomcats, aged from one to two years, were studied. Transabdominal prepubic sonographic approach was used. The prostate gland was observed in three views. A perineal sonogr...

Ten sexually mature, clinically healthy male European shorthair cats aged 1−2 years were studied. The bulbourethral glands were examined after preliminary anaesthesia and catheterisation of the urethra. A perineal sonographic approach was used on a CHISON 600 VET equipment and multifrequency microconvex C20605 probe with a working frequency of 7 MHz. The musculoskeleal periphery of the gland wa...

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the mode of action of goat bulbourethral lipase (BUSgp60 lipase) previously identified as responsible for the deterioration of goat sperm viability in skimmed milk-based extenders. Milk fractions were purified by micro- and ultrafiltration and characterized by SDS-PAGE, thin layer chromatography, triglyceride quantitative analysis and by their abili...

All of parts of body and functions connected to ejaculation are necessary and can cause painful ejaculation. There are testicles, ejaculatory ducts, seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbourethral glands, urethra, sympathetic nervous system, bulbospongiosus and pubococcygeus muscles and pudendal nerve. When there is any inflammation or an infection of these structures, it all can lead to painful ejac...

To compare two different procedures, mid-urethral mini sling (Ophira) and autologous rectus fascia sling, according to their medium-term subjective and objective outcome and satisfaction rates in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women. One hundred women with the main complaint of stress urinary incontinence were randomized to be treated with either mini sling (Ophira) or autologo...

OBJECTIVES To describe a simplified technique and results of pubovaginal sling lysis by incision of the sling in the midline by way of a transvaginal approach. METHODS We reviewed the charts of 19 women who underwent pubovaginal sling lysis for obstruction. Patients presenting with retention, incomplete emptying or storage, or voiding symptoms suggesting obstruction after pubovaginal sling pl...

The AdVance sling (American Medical Systems, Minnetonka, MN, United States of America) is a synthetic transobturator sling, which is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in male patients. This article provides a step-by-step description of our technique for placement of the AdVance male sling, including details and nuances gain...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of an arm sling on gait speed and energy efficiency of patients with hemiplegia. DESIGN A randomized crossover design. SETTING A rehabilitation department of a university hospital. SUBJECTS Thirty-seven outpatients with hemiplegia were included in this study. INTERVENTIONS All patients walked on a 20-m walkway twice on the same day, randomly with and wit...

For two decades the glial sling has been hypothesized to act as a guidance substratum for developing callosal axons. However, neither the cellular nature of the sling nor its guidance properties have ever been clearly identified. Although originally thought to be glioblasts, we show here that the subventricular zone cells forming the sling are in fact neurons. Sling cells label with a number of...
