Published: February 2003

This article considers that the prostate should be included in "male-uterus", discusses the resemblance between the uterus and the "male-uterus", emphasize that having both the function of strong and catharsis the "male-uterus" should belongs to the Extraordinary Organs. To enrich the theory of "male-uterus", the article also discuss the relations of physiological function of the prostate with Dai channel, Du channel, Ren channel, Liver channel and Kidney channel, the affinities in physiology and pathology with bladder, liver, kidney and other visceras in human being.

Objective: Regular check-up with ultrasound in underserved rural and/or remote areas is hampered due to the limited availability of sonologists and ultrasound devices. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and satisfaction of health check-ups with a 5G-based robotic teleultrasound diagnostic system.

Methods: In this prospective study, sonologists from two hospitals manipulated the telerobotic ultrasound system to perform teleultrasound check-ups of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, bladder, prostate (male), uterus and ovaries (female) for the subjects.

Clinical and Histological Findings of Male Uterus () in Three Dogs (2014-2018).

Data from three cases of were retrieved from 2014 to 2018. Two out of three cases presented clinical signs compatible with systemic infection, as observed in bitches with pyometra. Ultrasound examination revealed a tubular fluid-filled structure with a thin irregular wall located cranially to the prostate and in continuity with the cranial part of the gland.

Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) in the Polish free-ranged bull populations of the European bison (Bison bonasus L.).

This study describes the diversity of vestigial male uteri of the European bison (Eb) examined for: (1) morphology, (2) glycoprotein localization, (3) total protein and glycoprotein profiles, (4) steroid concentrations, and (5) PMDS based on the mutation of AMH and AMHR2 genes. Uteri of adult bulls (5-12 years old) were compared to a uterus of a juvenile female (6 months old). Male uterine proteins were analyzed in parallel to secretory endometrial proteins of pseudo-pregnant pig (PsEND) and BSA used as profile-controls.

A voxel-based finite element model for the prediction of bladder deformation.

Med Phys

January 2012

Radiation Oncology Department, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Purpose: A finite element (FE) bladder model was previously developed to predict bladder deformation caused by bladder filling change. However, two factors prevent a wide application of FE models: (1) the labor required to construct a FE model with high quality mesh and (2) long computation time needed to construct the FE model and solve the FE equations. In this work, we address these issues by constructing a low-resolution voxel-based FE bladder model directly from the binary segmentation images and compare the accuracy and computational efficiency of the voxel-based model used to simulate bladder deformation with those of a classical FE model with a tetrahedral mesh.

Purpose: A biomechanical model was constructed to give insight into pelvic organ motion as a result of bladder filling changes.

Methods: The authors used finite element (FE) modeling to simulate bladder wall deformation caused by urine inflow. For ten volunteers, a series of MRI scans of the pelvic area was recorded at regular intervals of 10 min over 1 h.
