Expression patterns of mesenchymal stem cell-specific proteins in adipose tissue-derived cells: possible immunosuppressing agent in partial allograft for restoring the urinary bladder in rabbits

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (12), 2018
Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are an attractive source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for use in tissue engineering and clinical applications. This paper focuses on the characterization of ADSCs used as immunosuppressive agent in rabbits undergoing partial allograft for urine bladder restor...

Are uroflowmetry and post - void residual urine tests necessary in children with primary nocturnal enuresis?

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Objectives: To examine the benefits of repetitive uroflowmetry and post void residual urine (PVR) tests in children with primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE). Material and methods: Children aged ≥6 years with PNE who visited our clinics for management of enuresis were included for study. Pat...

The role of bladder diverticula in the prevalence of acute urinary retention in patients with BPH who are candidates to surgery

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: The urinary bladder diverticula (BD) secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a complication that can lead to urinary stasis, stone, urinary tract infection (UTI) and tumors. It's role in acute urinary retention (AUR) is not totally understood. Objectives: To determine ...

Accidental cystectomy during laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle cyst - a rare complication

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Prostatic utricle cyst is a rare congenital anomaly. Symptomatic cysts require treatment. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice, but is challenging due to close proximity to vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, bladder, prostate, rectum and pelvic nerves. Complications include rectal injury, ...

Bacterial cellulose to reinforce urethrovesical anastomosis. A translational study

Acta cir. bras; 33 (8), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the cellulosic exopolysaccharide membrane (CEM) as a urethral reinforcement for urethrovesical anastomosis. Methods: Twenty eight rabbits were submitted to urethrovesical anastomosis with or without CEM reinforcement. The animals were divided into 4 groups:...

Simulated training of a laparoscopic vesicourethral anastomosis

Acta cir. bras; 33 (8), 2018
Abstract Purpose: To develop a model and curriculum for simulated training of an effective and well accepted laparoscopic vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA). Methods: Experimental longitudinal study of quantitative character. The sample consisted of 12 general surgery residents and 6 urology residents (R...

Nephrogenic adenoma of the bladder: a single institution experience assessing clinical factors

Int. braz. j. urol; 44 (3), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Nephrogenic adenoma (NA) was first described by Davis in 1949 as a "hamartoma" of the bladder. There are many proposed predisposing factors for NA including chronic inflammation, renal transplantation, and bladder cancer. We examined our experience with NA to determine predisposin...
