Epidemiological cross-sectional study was done in Kosovo, during the year 2015 by the Institute for health and sexual research LIBIDO and Medical Faculty, Prishtina. The sample size selected randomly included 600 participants while response rate was 88.3% (530/600). Statistical analysis was performed using PDF

The Rabbit Urinary Bladder as a Model System to Study the Antioxidant Activity of Ganoderma Lucidum: A Review

*Robert M Levin1,2,Catherine Schuler1 , Robert E Leggett1 and Alpha D-Y Lin3, 4, 5

Micturition is a complex neuromuscular process. Although control mechanisms have been identified at several levels of the central nervous system and spinal cord, the final pathway in the control of micturition is the autonomic innervation of the urinary bladder and related structures. Micturition is ultimately dependent on the ability of the urinary bladder to contract, generate PDF

Fluid Collections after Kidney Transplantation

Martin Chari1,2, Ajay Sharma2,3, Jon Jin Kim2,4 and Ahmed Halawa2,5*

Fluid collections after kidney transplantation include urinoma, haematoma, lymphocele, seroma and abscess. These can cause allograft dysfunction or loss and are associated with increased morbidity or mortality if was not recognized early and treated promptly. They can present early or after many months postoperatively. Clinical presentation, radiological imaging and biochemical composition of the aspirated fluid help in differentiating these fluid collections. PDF

Atpase Activity of Rabbit Bladder Muscle and Mucosa: Effect of EDTA

Marley Jock1 , Robert E Leggett2 , Catherine Schuler2 and Robert M Levin1,2*

The urinary bladder like all smooth muscles depends on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for energy for all biochemical processes including contraction, neurohumeral transmission, secretion, and calcium translocation. ATPase is the enzyme that breaks down ATP to ADP and Pi with the release of energy utilized for the biochemical processes just mentioned. Studies have demonstrated PDF

Effect of In-Vivo Chemical Cystitis on Citrate Synthase, Calcium Atpase, and Serca activities in Rabbits Treated with Jack Bean Supplements

Robert M Levin1,2*,Connor M Callaghan1 , Catherine Schuler1 , Robert E Leggett1 and Alpha D-Y Lin3 1 Stratton VA Medical Center, Albany, NY

The high prevalence of cystitis associated with Urinary Tract Infections and other conditions such as non-bacterial cystitis and interstitial cystitis warrants further investigation into its etiology of causing bladder dysfunction. A model of cystitis in the rabbit urinary bladder was used to analyze how cellular processes PDF
