Testosterone Induces Relaxation of Human Corpus Cavernosum Tissue of Patients With Erectile Dysfunction

Introduction: Previous research in the field of cardiovascular diseases suggests a relaxing effect of testosterone (T) on smooth muscle cells. Therefore, it was hypothesized that T could play a significant role in erection development. Aim: To …

Comparison of Interleukin-6, Procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein As a Diagnostic Biomarker in Patients Urosepsis

Objective: To compare the diagnostic value of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in detecting urosepsis. Material & Methods: This study is an analytical descriptive cross-sectional study about the diagnostic value …

Novel implantable pressure and acceleration sensor for bladder monitoring

Objectives: To test the hypothesis that an implantable sensing system containing accelerometers can detect small-scale autonomous movements, also termed micromotions, which might be relevant to bladder physiology. Methods: We developed a 6-mm …

Wireless intravesical device for real-time bladder pressure measurement: Study of consecutive voiding in awake minipigs

Real-Life Data on Mirabegron in Neurogenic Bladder Dysfunction

AIMS To determine factors for treatment persistence in a real-life cohort of adult neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction. METHODS We reviewed records of patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction and mirabegron prescriptions. …

A novel method to investigate bladder wall behavior by acceleration and pressure sensing

Bladder dysfunctions form a continuously growing problem as the ageing population in our society is steadily increasing. However, scientific knowledge about the fundamental principles underlying bladder diseases is still lacking. Conventional …

Galanin Administration Partially Restores Erectile Function After Cavernous Nerve Injury and Mediates Endogenous Nitrergic Nerve Outgrowth In Vitro

© 2018 International Society for Sexual Medicine Background: Previously, we found that the neuropeptide galanin was strongly upregulated soon after bilateral cavernous nerve injury (BCNI) and that galanin and its receptors were expressed in nitrergic …

Platelet count and mean platelet volume as prognostic markers of urosepsis

Objective: To know and determine platelet count (PLT) and mean platelet volume (MPV) as prognostic factor for outcome in patients with urosepsis. Materials & Methods: This was an analytic observational study. Thirty patients were assigned to the test …
