  2. 1. Prolonged Modulation of the Micturition Reflex by Electrical Stimulation

    Author : Chong-He Jiang; Sivert Lindström; Magnus Fall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intravesical electrical stimulation; IVES; bladder evacuation problems; bladder; micturition reflex; Urology and andrology; Urologi och andrologi;

    Abstract : Intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) has been used in treatment of patients with urinary bladder dysfunctions for more than four decades. While some investigators have reported excellent results others have observed less convincing effects or outright failures. READ MORE

  4. 2. Functional studies of purinergic and cholinergic interactions in the rat urinary bladder - Characterization of ATP-evoked urothelial release of acetylcholine

    Author : Johanna Stenqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ATP; acetylcholine; urothelium; caveolae; afferents; cystitis;

    Abstract : Functional interplays between different transmitter systems are known to affect the signalling of the micturition reflex arc. The functional implications of many of these interactions, such as between ATP and acetylcholine, have yet to be unravelled. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nitric oxide, formation and effects in the urogenital tract

    Author : Ingrid Ehren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : urinary tract; male reproductive tract; nitric oxide; nitric oxide synthase; NADPH-diaphorase; smooth muscle; secretion; inflammation; sex hormones.STOCKHOLM 1996 ISB;

    Abstract : The aim of the thesis was to study the formation and effects of nitric oxide (NO) in the human urinary tract and in the male reproductive organs. In the human upper and lower urinary tract NO synthase activity was studied via the formation of radiolabeled L-citrulline from L-arginine. READ MORE

  6. 4. Neuronal release and function of nitric oxide in smooth muscle

    Author : Henrik H Iversen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Autonomic neurotransmission; gastrointestinal tract; nitric oxide; nitric oxidesynthase; smooth muscle; urinary tract.;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to study nitric oxide (NO) as an effector molecule in autonomic neurotransmission. The nitrergic transmitter was examined with regard to its pharmacological profile, stimuli of release, release pattern, and effects in gastrointestinal and urinary tract smooth muscle. READ MORE
