Urinary Bladder01:23

Urinary Bladder

4.7K
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...

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

5.7K
Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Urology

    Background:

    • Overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) significantly impacts quality of life.
    • Current management strategies for OAB can be invasive or inconvenient.
    • There is a need for accessible, user-friendly home-based OAB treatment options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the TENSmini, a novel wearable device for self-management of OAB.
    • To evaluate the safety, efficacy, and usability of the TENSmini for tibial nerve stimulation.
    • To assess the performance of the TENSmini compared to clinical-grade stimulators.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a compact, wearable device (TENSmini) with integrated, washable textile electrodes.
    • Wireless control via mobile devices, allowing adjustable stimulation parameters (frequency, pulse width, amplitude).
    • Implementation of a safety-enhanced drive circuit with galvanic isolation and automatic monitoring.

    Main Results:

    • The TENSmini demonstrated effective tibial nerve stimulation in a real-world study with ten participants.
    • Electrical properties of the conductive textile electrodes were characterized.
    • Performance was found to be comparable to clinical-grade stimulators, with enhanced safety features.
    • The device is wearable, reusable, and wirelessly controlled.

    Conclusions:

    • The TENSmini shows significant potential as a safe, effective, and user-friendly device for home-based OAB management.
    • Its wearability, reusability, and advanced safety features make it a promising alternative to existing treatments.
    • Further studies are warranted to confirm long-term efficacy and patient outcomes.
