The lack of success with the physician-only approach to bladder pain and interstitial cystitis demonstrates the need for a fresh new method. Such an approach, in which the patient becomes an integral part of the operating team, verifying that the operative findings are the source of the pain and that treatment of these areas will lead to the resolution of the pain, needs to be examined further.

Misleading Mercedes-Benz sign: A case report of misdiagnosed cholecysto-hydatid cyst fistula in acute cholecystitis.

Introduction: Liver hydatid cysts represent a significant health concern globally, particularly in endemic regions like Tunisia. While they often lead to complications such as biliary fistulas, diagnostic errors can arise from radiologic signs like the "Mercedes Benz sign," which indicates gas within the gallbladder. This report highlights the challenge of diagnosing a rare cholecysto-hydatid cyst fistula, where the presence of gas in the gallstones initially suggested a fistula.

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is a UHMS-approved treatment for radiation cystitis and has been used for other causes of cystitis such as cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis and interstitial cystitis, among others. Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the most effective treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. BCG acts as a non-specific stimulant of the reticuloendothelial system, causing a local inflammatory response.

Case Description: 6-month-old and 7-month-old spayed female domestic shorthair cats were referred because of complications associated with inadvertent bilateral ureteral ligation and transection during ovariohysterectomy.
Clinical Findings: Both cats had a 1- to 2-day history of lethargy, inappetence, and vomiting. Initial exam findings included lethargy, signs of abdominal pain, anuria, and dehydration.
Identification and characterization of rostral ventromedial medulla neurons synaptically connected to the urinary bladder afferents in female rats with or without neonatal cystitis.

The neurons in the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) play a major role in pain modulation. We have previously shown that early-life noxious bladder stimuli in rats resulted in an overall spinal GABAergic disinhibition and a long-lasting bladder/colon sensitization when tested in adulthood. However, the neuromolecular alterations within RVM neurons in the pathophysiology of early life bladder inflammation have not been elucidated.

Article Synopsis
- The study develops a new high molecular weight biopolymer called "SuperGAG" to treat Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) by restoring bladder impermeability and reducing associated pain.
- SuperGAG was tested on OVX female rats and URO-MCP1 genetically modified mice, showing significant improvement in bladder function and pain reduction after treatment.
- This research suggests that SuperGAG, especially when paired with contrast-enhanced MRI, could serve as a promising therapeutic option for patients with IC/BPS.
