Bladder abnormality

Ursodiol appeared to reverse gall-bladder abnormalities in seven of 10 patients. Data from this study also showed earlier development of sludge in recipients of higher doses of octreotide (37). 

Cloacal extrophy, bladder extrophy, and epispadias are developmental abnormalities of ranging severity, as a result of disruption of the formation and opposition of the pelvic bones, the cavitation of the pelvic organs, and the partitioning of the pelvic cavity (see also Chap. 9). Urinary tract diversion using an ileal conduit to treat this and other bladder abnormalities... 

Analysis of ESRB 7 mice showed fewer and smaller litters than wild type mice as well as abnormal vascular function and hypertension. The reduction in fertility was attributed to reduced ovarian efficiency. Mutant females had normal breast development and lactated normally. Older mutant males displayed signs of prostate and bladder hyperplasia. s -2-deficient mice furthermore display diverse regulatory defects in the function of brain, lung, and white blood cells. The results indicated that ESRB is essential for normal ovulation efficiency but is not essential for lactation, female or male sexual differentiation, or fertility. 

From a therapeutic point of view, it is essential to confirm the presence of bacteriuria (a condition in which there are bacteria in the urine) since symptoms alone are not a reliable method of documenting infection. This applies particularly to bladder infection where the symptoms of burning micturition (dysuria) and frequency can be associated with a variety of non-bacteriuric conditions. Patients with symptomatic bacteriuria should always be treated. However, the necessity to treat asymptomatic bacteriuric patients varies with age and the presence or absence of underlying urinary tract abnormalities. In the pre-school child it is essential to treat all urinary tract infections and maintain the urine in a sterile state so that normal kidney maturation can proceed. Likewise in pregnancy there is a risk of infection ascending from the bladder to involve the kidney. This is a serious complication and may result in premature labour. Other indications for treating asymptomatic bacteriuria include the presence of underlying renal abnormalities such as stones which may be associated with repeated infections caused by Proteus spp. 

Urinary incontinence can result from abnormalities within (intrinsic to) and outside of (extrinsic to) the urinary tract. Within the urinary tract, abnormalities may occur in the urethra (including the bladder outlet and urinary sphincters), the bladder, or a combination of both structures. Focusing on abnormalities in these two structures, a simple classification scheme emerges for all but the rarest intrinsic causes of UI. Accurate diagnosis and classification of UI type is critical to the selection of appropriate drug therapy. 

Upper lumbar spine compression may lead to bowel and bladder dysfunction (constipation and urinary retention) and abnormal extensor plantar reflexes... 

Bladder tumor-associated antigen (BTA), a human complement factor H, is produced by bladder cancer cells (men two to three times as often as women). Cancer cells are sometimes seen in urine samples by microscope cytoscopy (examination of the bladder with an instrument inserted into the urethra), which can reveal abnormal areas. Biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Early stage cancer confined to the bladder wall can often be removed with a cytoscope. If several tumors are present, they are removed by infusing the bladder with a solution containing bacteria able to stimulate the immune system. 

Nelson So is that where the action potentials are coming in, in excitability Brading Possibly. But this is only in abnormal bladder. 

Absence Seizures. Most seizure disorders cause abnormal jerking movements called clonus. But absence (petit mal) seizures cause little or no abnormal movements. During an absence seizure, the patient does not fall to the ground, have obvious jerking movements, or lose control of bowel or bladder. Instead, a patient with absence seizures typically has a blank stare while becoming unaware of the surroundings for no more than a few seconds. When the seizure is over, alertness is restored.

Examine liver, gallbladder (mouse), stomach, spleen, pancreas, intestines, kidneys, adrenal gland, ureters, bladder, umbilical artery, genital organs, dorsal aorta, and caudal vena cava. Possible abnormalities that can be observed include absent renal papilla, dilated ureter(s), and displaced testis. 

It is a synthetic compound with structural similarity to ephedrine and is available in racemic and dextro isomers. It increases the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Amphetamine is a potent CNS stimulant and causes alertness, insomnia, increased concentration, euphoria or dysphoria and increased work capacity. Amphetamine produces wakefulness and improved physical performance. It contracts the sphincter of the bladder and relaxes the bronchial smooth muscle in large doses. Amphetamines are drugs of abuse and can produce behavioural abnormalities and can precipitate psychosis. It can produce psychological but no physical dependence. 

Cytogenetic abnormalities are frequent in most tumor types and are often associated with tumor characteristics or patient outcome. Altered DNA ploidy (copy number changes) in the cancer genome was described in the 1960s when it was demonstrated that bladder and prostate cancer patients with diploid or tetraploid tumor nuclei had a longer survival rate than patients with triploid or hexaploid tumor nuclei (19).

SEIZURES (EPILEPTIC FITS) Bursts of abnormal electrical activity in the brain causing episodic symptoms, including coma or reduced level of awareness, flailing movements of arms and legs, and loss of control of bowels and bladder. Prolonged, untreated seizures may cause brain damage or even death.
