bladder/경색증

We present here a case of a bladder infarct as a complication of aortofemoral bypass surgery. An intravenous urogram 6 weeks after surgery showed reduced expansion on the left side of the bladder and a sausage-shaped filling defect at the site of the infarct. The diagnosis was made by histologic

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the contractile properties of overactive bladder from rats in the chronic stage of experimental cerebral infarction. METHODS Cystometry was performed in conscious male S-D rats after inducing occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery. Bladder muscle strips were evaluated for

We characterized muscarinic receptor binding and urodynamic parameters in rats with cerebral infarction and chronic bladder outlet obstruction as models of detrusor overactivity. Bladder weight showed little significant difference between the cerebral-infarcted and sham rats, but the bladder weight

Supra-pontine lesions resulting from neurological disorders such as vascular disease, Parkinson's disease, or Alzheimer type senile dementia lead to an increase in bladder activity. This is due in part to the removal at the cortical inhibitory control of the micturition center in the brain stem -

A case is reported in which the typical radiographic appearances of acute emphysematous cholecystitis were due to acute gall bladder infarction following thrombotic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery.

We report the case of a 54-year-old hypertensive woman who presented with sudden onset left hemiparesis with facial asymmetry and inability to pass urine. Her bladder was distended and she had to be catheterised. MRI of her brain showed a large infarct in the right pontine region. Antiplatelet

Although uncommon, the so-called spontaneous or idiopathic rupture of the bladder is not rare; 84 cases have so far been reported. A common denominator in almost all these cases is that the rupture is intraperitoneal and that it is often unsuspected, the actual diagnosis being made at autopsy, after

Spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture of the bladder (also called unsuspected, idiopathic, or non-traumatic rupture of the bladder) is a well defined but rare condition which has not been universally recognized in the past. We are reporting four cases and emphasizing its clinical picture so it might

To investigate the factors which influence the results of the ice-water test (IWT) in patients with cerebrovascular accidents or infravesical obstruction, IWT was performed on these patients with urge urinary incontinence. Thirty-two patients with cerebrovascular lesions (group 1) and 16 patients

OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate the effect of the calcium (Ca2+) channel blocking agent nifedipine on bladder overactivity induced by middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion and determine its site of action. METHODS Seven days after implantation of a bladder catheter, a cannula for
