bladder/inflammation

Inflammatory events experienced during early development may permanently alter sensory processing. Because urinary tract infections frequently occur during early development in females and painful bladder disorders have a high female prevalence, the present studies were undertaken to determine

Social stress may play a role in urinary bladder dysfunction in humans, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. In the present study, we explored changes in bladder function caused by social stress using mouse models of stress and increasing stress. In the stress paradigm, individual submissive

OBJECTIVE To present a case of inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder, with special reference to the differential diagnosis. RESULTS A 26-year-old patient with a history of gross hematuria and voiding syndrome underwent partial cystectomy for a bladder tumor. Pathological analysis disclosed

The inflammatory pseudotumor of the urinary bladder or pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor is a benign proliferative mesenchymal spindle cell process, usually polypoid. This rare benign lesion in the majority of the cases have been observed in children and young adults, with only a few cases

These studies examined the transcriptional and translational plasticity of three transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (TRPA1, TRPV1, TRPV4) with established neuronal and non-neuronal expression and functional roles in the lower urinary tract. Mechanosensor and nociceptor roles in either

OBJECTIVE To determine expression of microRNA (miRNA) in urinary bladder samples obtained from dogs with grossly normal urinary bladders, inflammatory bladder disease, or transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) and in cells of established canine TCC cell lines. METHODS Samples of grossly normal bladders

The properties of bladder afferent neurons in L6 and S1 dorsal root ganglia of adult rats were evaluated after chronic bladder inflammation induced by 2 week treatment with cyclophosphamide (CYP; 75 mg/kg). Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that most (70%) of the dissociated bladder

OBJECTIVE To describe an unusual type of vesical carcinoma (sarcomatoid carcinoma) associated with the spread of inflammation. The article discusses the diagnostic difficulties and prognosis. RESULTS We describe a patient with vesical sarcomatoid carcinoma associated with the spread of inflammation

The authors report a case of benign pseudosarcoma of the bladder and emphasize the endoscopic features of the tumour, which were highly suggestive of malignancy, leading to the decision to perform cystectomy. The diagnosis was corrected by endoscopic resection and histology. Treatment usually

The relation between Schistosomiasis and bladder cancer is well-established and accounts for the high rates of bladder cancer in a number of developing countries, including Egypt. In developed countries, transitional cell carcinoma is the predominant type of bladder cancer, whereas in

Inflammatory pseudotumor of the bladder is an unusual benign lesion arising from the bladder submucosa. We present 2 cases and describe the clinical presentation, and radiographic and histological findings. This benign lesion must be differentiated histologically from several malignant lesions of

Current evidence suggests multiple and redundant pathways through which the nervous system can initiate, amplify, and perpetuate inflammation. Many of the processes initiated by neurogenic inflammation have the capacity to recruit the participation of additional sensory nerves. These observations

A previously healthy 44-year-old male was admitted with the chief complaint of intermittent gross hematuria. On initial ultrasonographic and CT examination, a grossly protruding intravesical tumor was noted and, under the impression of a malignant bladder tumor, transurethral resection was

A case report presents a 30-year-old lady with a pseudotumor of the bladder as large as a fist. The tumor originated from an inflammation around the rest of a suture following appendectomy with a latency of 7 years.
