Background: Intramural bladder foreign bodies resulting from migration of grass awns have rarely been described in the veterinary literature. Surgical removal should be considered the treatment of choice for symptomatic lesions.
Case Description: A clinical case of a miniature poodle with increased urination and progressive hypoechoic mural nodules on repeat bladder ultrasound is described. An exploratory bladder surgery with excision of the two lesions was performed, allowing the extraction of a plant foreign body from the bladder wall.
Conclusion: This is among the first cases in the veterinary literature in which a grass awn has been surgically extracted from the wall of the bladder in a dog. Differential diagnosis of intramural bladder lesions in dogs should include lesions caused by migratory plant awn foreign bodies.

Tissue factor (TF) is a cell surface protein that plays a role in blood clotting but is also commonly expressed in many cancers. Recent research implicated TF in cancer proliferation, metastasis, angiogenesis, and immune escape. Therefore, TF can be considered a viable therapeutic target against cancer.

We and others reported that G inhibitor FR900358 (FR) can inhibit both and G- and, surprisingly, G-mediated intracellular Ca mobilization. Thus, the G-G-PLCβ-Ca signaling axis depends entirely on the presence of active G, which reasonably explained FR-inhibited G-induced Ca release.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the genetic characteristics of urinary bladder paragangliomas (UBPGLs) in a cohort of 70 Chinese patients, aiming to better understand their heritability and genetic variations.
- Results show that 38 patients had pathogenic variants (PVs), mainly in cluster 1A genes like SDHB and HRAS, with UBPGLs showing higher PV rates in cluster 1A compared to non-head and neck PGLs.
- The findings indicate a diverse genetic profile among Chinese patients with UBPGLs, emphasizing the necessity for genetic testing to identify significant pathogenic variants.

Article Synopsis
- This study developed an algorithm that creates a referenceable bladder map from standard cystoscopy videos, allowing diagnosis and monitoring of bladder carcinoma without needing advanced equipment.
- The algorithm generates 2D bladder maps by stitching together frames from cystoscopy videos by matching surface features, and it was tested on both swine and archived clinical videos.
- Results showed high performance with 93-99% of frames suitable for creating bladder maps, useful for recording pathology and treatment areas, especially in cases of recurrent bladder cancer or in low-resource environments.

Introduction: Transurethral resection is the main method for diagnosing and staging bladder cancer, which allows to determine treatment tactics. Tumors located in the area of the ureteric orifice is an important clinical problem.
Aim: To describe our experience in the treatment of ureteral obliterations after transurethral resection of the bladder tumors.
