Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

3.4K
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...

The lower urinary system consists of the urinary bladder and urethra, which are essential in storing and expelling urine from the body. Together with the internal and external sphincters, these structures work together to regulate urination effectively.Anatomy of the BladderThe urinary bladder is a muscular, stretchable organ behind the pubic bone and in front of the rectum. In females, the bladder is positioned anterior to the vagina and inferior to the uterus, while in males, it is located...

Imaging Studies I: Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder Studies

Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...

Kidney Structure01:45

Kidney Structure

75.2K
The kidneys are two large bean-shaped organs located in the upper abdomen. They filter the blood several times a day to remove toxins and rebalance water and electrolytes of the circulatory system via the renal veins. The kidneys receive blood directly from the heart via the renal arteries. These arteries enter the kidney at the hilum, the concave surface of the bean, where they branch and divide into smaller vessels and capillaries.

Filtration and Urine Formation01:32

Filtration and Urine Formation

53.7K
The function of the kidneys is to filter, reabsorb, secrete, and excrete. Every day the kidneys filter nearly 180 liters of blood, initially removing water and solutes but ultimately returning nearly all filtrates into circulation with the help of osmoregulatory hormones. This process removes wastes and toxins but is also crucial to maintain water and electrolyte levels. Most of these functions are performed by the tiny but numerous nephrons contained within the kidneys.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Geriatrics

    Background:

    • Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition characterized by urinary urgency, frequency, and nocturia.
    • Its morbidity increases with age and can stem from neurogenic or non-neurogenic causes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the diagnostic approach for Overactive Bladder.
    • To discuss therapeutic strategies for managing OAB symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis involves patient history using the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), physical examination, and urinalysis.
    • Exclusion of other urinary tract diseases causing bladder irritation is crucial.

    Main Results:

    • Pharmacotherapy and behavioral interventions are effective in improving OAB symptoms.
    • Anticholinergic agents are a common treatment, though adverse effects require consideration.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of Overactive Bladder relies on accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
    • Balancing treatment efficacy with potential side effects, particularly with anticholinergic agents, is essential for patient care.
