The Micturition Reflex01:26

The Micturition Reflex

502
Urination, or micturition involves the coordination of the bladder's detrusor muscle and two sphincters to ensure controlled bladder emptying.
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

128
Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • The AMS 800 artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is a standard treatment for male stress urinary incontinence.
  • Existing AMS 800 devices have limitations affecting clinical utility and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the design and technology of the new Rigicon ContiClassic and ContiReflex artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) devices.
  • To explore how these new devices aim to overcome limitations of the AMS 800.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the design features of the Rigicon ContiClassic and ContiReflex AUS devices.
  • Comparison of the new Rigicon devices with the established AMS 800.

Main Results:

  • The ContiClassic features a hydrophilic coating, expanded cuff size options, and tool-free connectors.
  • The ContiReflex includes an additional stress relief balloon (SRB) and a larger pump system for enhanced protection and fluid cycling.

Conclusions:

  • Rigicon's ContiClassic and ContiReflex AUS devices offer design advancements over the AMS 800.
  • These innovations aim to enhance the clinical performance and patient outcomes for artificial urinary sphincter therapy.
