まとめ
熱密封またはレーザー切断を用いた新しい尿道中部スリング (MUS) は,機械的な切断と比較して変形を軽減します. 織り交わされた縫い目により 網状の変形が最小限に抑えられ ストレス性尿失禁手術の合併症が減る可能性があります
科学分野:
- 生物医学工学
- 材料科学
- 泌尿器科
背景:
- 中間泌尿器スリング (MUS) は,ストレス性尿失禁 (SUI) に有効です.
- 初期のMUS設計 (例えば,機械的にカットされたGynecare TVT) の変形性については懸念があります.
- メーカーはMUSの性能を改善するために,レーザーカット,熱密封,およびスタビライズシューツなどの技術を採用しています.
研究 の 目的:
- MUSの機械的性質と変形を異なる製造技術で比較する.
- MUSの硬さ,伸縮,毛穴性に対するレーザー切断,熱密封,および安定化縫合の影響を評価する.
- 改造されたMUSは,機械的なカットデザインと比較して,変形が減り,永久的な延伸を示します.
主な方法:
- 失敗と周期的負荷に対する単軸引力試験は,商業的に利用可能な4つのMUSで行われました.
- 試験されたMUSには,Gynecare TVT (機械切断),Gynecare TVT Exact (レーザー切断),ArcTV (レーザー切断,縫合付き/無縫合) とDesara Blue (熱密封) が含まれていた.
- 0 N から 10 N までの連続的な負荷の後,カスタム Mathematica コードを使用して多孔性を定量化しました.
主要な成果:
- 熱密封 (Desara Blue) とレーザーカット (Gynecare TVT Exact) のMUSは,機械カット (Gynecare TVT) よりも著しく硬く,伸び幅が小さかった.
- 縫い目のないArcTVは,Gynecare TVTと比較して,硬さと伸縮の違いが最小でした.
- 安定した縫い目を持つArcTVは,最小の毛細さの損失 (10Nで14%減少) を示し,最小の変形を示した.
結論:
- 熱密封は硬さを大幅に高め,潜在的に利益と合併症リスクを上回ります.
- レーザー切断は通常,硬さに大きな影響を与えることなく,変形を軽減しますが,効果はメーカーによって異なります.
- 織り交わされた安定縫合は 毛細さの損失を最小限に抑え,メッシュの変形と潜在的な合併症を軽減します.

Urethra
1.7K
The urethra is a hollowed tubular organ through which urine is expelled from the body. This structure extends from the bladder to the external opening, allowing urine to be released.
The anatomy of the urethra differs between males and females. In females, the urethra is short, measuring about 3–4 cm in length, and opens anterior to the vaginal opening. In males, the urethra is longer and passes through the penis, serving dual purposes: expelling urine and ejaculating semen. The male...

Ureters
728
The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...

Anatomy of the Genitourinary System II: Bladder and Urethra
208
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...

Urinary Bladder
1.5K
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...

Mortar Properties
187
Mortar properties encompass a range of characteristics crucial for construction and masonry work, including workability, water retention, bond strength, durability, compressive strength, volume change, and appearance. Workability refers to mortar's ability to be easily applied and manipulated without sagging or falling off surfaces, which is important for efficient masonry unit placement and alignment. Water retention is essential to prevent the mortar from losing moisture too quickly to...

Porosity and Absorption of Aggregate
398
Aggregates contain pores of varying sizes; while some are completely enclosed within the particles, others open onto the surface, allowing water to penetrate. The porosity of aggregates is a major factor contributing to the overall porosity of concrete, given that aggregates constitute about three-quarters of concrete's volume.
When all pores in an aggregate are filled with water, the aggregate is considered saturated and surface-dry. If left in dry air, water will evaporate until the...
