The results of a retrospective study of 67 patients with scrotal varicocele on the left side are
presented. By means of preoperative venography of the renal, internal spermatic and …

Investigations of micromotion characteristics of bladder wall strips and pressure wave phenomena
in total bladders in vitro and in vivo indicate that micromotion phenomena occur in the …

A model is presented that describes the passive properties of the urinary bladder in the collection
phase. A black-box approach is used. The system under investigation, which is defined …

Stepwise cystometry is a new method proposed to analyse the visco-elastic properties of the
bladder. It is based on a mathematical analysis of the pressure decay after a stepwise filling…

Strips of pig bladder have been maximally stimulatedin vitro at 37C via electrodes placed in
the muscle, in order, particularly, to measure the dependence of the resulting active force on …

Left renal vein compression occurring mainly with the patient in the upright position, and
being less severe or absent in the supine position, was considered to be the main cause of …

Ninety-five stress-decrease curves of dog bladder strips, selected from 204 experimentally
determined curves, were analyzed in terms of a model which can be described by an …

Pressure flow studies constitute a valuable advancement in the investigation of wide ureters
without reflux. However, these studies do not in themselves allow the determination of the …

Step-wise cystometry has been developed to analyze the pressure-relaxation phenomena of
the bladder in mongrel dogs. The results show that a mathematical model consisting of two …

A new method of cystometry called stepwise cystometry, based on a viscoelastic model of
the urinary bladder wall, is proposed. This cystometry technique yields objective parameters, …
