Although a few cases of bladder wall rupture have been reported in the literature in association with bladder wall disease, idiopathic rupture of the bladder without injury remains an uncommon phenomenon. We report the case of a patient presenting to the Emergency Department with diffuse abdominal pain from spontaneous bladder rupture in association with an acute alcohol binge. Although cases of spontaneous bladder rupture in association with alcohol use were historically associated with high morbidity and mortality, prompt identification and treatment can lead to favorable outcomes.

Report of a Rare Case of Acute Abdominal Pain Post-partum: Spontaneous Ureteral Rupture.

Radiology, West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, Bury St Edmunds, GBR.
Spontaneous ureteral rupture is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain, particularly unusual during pregnancy or the post-partum period. While pregnancy-related changes like ureteral compression and dilation may play a role, no definitive mechanisms have been established. Clinicians should suspect ureteric injury in post-partum patients with free pelvic fluid.

Introduction: Management of urethral trauma lacks clarity in the paediatric population. There is no clear guidance for management and follow-up of these patients which can lead to missing the long-term sequelae of the primary injury. Catheter-associated urethral injuries are less likely to cause a complete transaction of the urethra.

Spontaneous intoxication by was diagnosed in a flock of 300 sheep in Jujuy province, northwestern Argentina, that grazed an area heavily invaded by this plant. The main clinical signs were intention tremors, ataxia, and progressive loss of condition. Autopsy of 2 affected animals revealed loss of body condition.

Urine-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (USCs) could be a valuable source of cells in regenerative medicine because urine can be easily collected non-invasively. In this paper, USCs were isolated from both healthy dogs and dogs affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), and the efficacy of collection methods (spontaneous micturition, bladder catheterization, and cystocentesis) were compared. Isolated cells were cultured in the presence of platelet-rich plasma and studied for their proliferative capacity (growth curve, doubling time, and colony forming unit), differentiation properties, expression of mesenchymal markers, and Klotho protein.

Background: This study investigates the incidence and risk factors for urinary retention during and after labor in women receiving programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) analgesia and evaluates the optimal bladder management strategy.
Methods: This prospective observational study assessed urinary retention during voiding attempts every two to three hours during labor and postpartum, among women with labor epidural analgesia using PIEB. Urinary retention was defined as a post-void residual volume >150 mL, determined by catheterization after spontaneous voiding.
