Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

3.9K
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Drugs for Treatment of Diarrhea-Predominant IBS

815
Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) is a subtype of IBS characterized primarily by frequent, loose, or watery stools, abdominal pain, and abdominal discomfort. Therapeutic approaches to managing IBS-D include dietary changes, stress management techniques, and pharmaceutical interventions.
Two specific drugs used in the treatment are alosetron (Lotronex) and eluxadoline (Viberzi). Alosetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, works by slowing the movement of stools in the gut, reducing bowel...

Electroconvulsive Therapy01:30

Electroconvulsive Therapy

1.6K
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), or shock therapy, remains a critical biomedical intervention for severe, treatment-resistant depression. While its origins can be traced back to Hippocrates' observations that malaria-induced convulsions alleviated mental illness, modern ECT has evolved significantly from its earlier, more primitive applications. First introduced in 1938 by Ugo Cerletti and his colleagues, ECT involves inducing controlled seizures using electrical currents. In its early...

Urodynamic Studies: Uroflowmetry

6.2K
Uroflowmetry is a non-invasive urodynamic test designed to measure various aspects of urination, including volume, flow rate, and the time to void. This test is crucial for diagnosing and assessing conditions such as bladder outlet obstruction, bladder dysfunction, incomplete bladder emptying, incontinence, and urinary tract blockages caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and urethral strictures.Pre-Test Instructions:Before a uroflowmetry test, patients are typically advised to drink...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Gynecology
  • Physiotherapy

Background:

  • Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition affecting lower urinary tract function.
  • Current management includes anticholinergic medications and physiotherapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of the "Erektron" autonomous electrostimulation device for OAB treatment in women.
  • To assess the impact of combined therapy on OAB symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 20 women diagnosed with OAB, with or without incontinence, was conducted.
  • Patients received solifenacin 5 mg daily; Group 1 additionally used intravaginal electrostimulation with the "Erektron" device.

Main Results:

  • Both treatment groups showed positive outcomes for OAB.
  • Group 1, receiving combined therapy, demonstrated more significant improvement, especially in cases of mixed incontinence.

Conclusions:

  • The "Erektron" device is a viable option for comprehensive OAB management.
  • It can be effectively integrated into treatment plans for women with OAB, including those with co-existing stress urinary incontinence.
