Morphological and functional changes in the bushy receptors of the frog urinary bladder were studied after a definite cystectasia (bladder wall distention). Morphological and electrophysiological parameters were registered synchronously. Under the effect of distention the total rate of afferent impulse activity was demonstrated to increase with a simultaneous increase of the average size of the receptor end-plates and with changing (growing round) in their form. Increment of the average size of the end-plates overtakes that of the distance between two points chosen on the urinary bladder wall; certain shifts are also observed in time parameters for staining the receptors with methylene blue. A possibility is suggested on interconnections of morphological and electrophysiological shifts.

The development of noninvasive methods for bladder cancer identification remains a critical clinical need. Recent studies have shown that atomic force microscopy (AFM), combined with pattern recognition machine learning, can detect bladder cancer by analyzing cells extracted from urine. However, these promising findings were limited by a relatively small patient cohort, resulting in modest statistical significance.

Purpose: Mirabegron, the first-in-class beta-3 agonist, is the mainstay medication for overactive bladder (OAB). The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of generic drugs of mirabegron (Mirabek) in adults diagnosed with OAB through a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional observational study.
Materials And Methods: Adult patients with OAB prescribed Mirabek SR Tab.

Background: Plasma membrane tension-related genes (MTRGs) are known to play a crucial role in tumor progression by influencing cell migration and adhesion. However, their specific mechanisms in bladder cancer (BLCA) remain unclear.
Methods: Transcriptomic, clinical and mutation data from BLCA patients were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases.

Department of Urology, Institute of Urology (Laboratory of Reconstructive Urology), West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, People's Republic of China.
Aim: This study aimed to analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of autologous fascial pubovaginal sling (AFPVS) surgery in treating recurrent stress urinary incontinence (SUI) following the failure of mid-urethral sling procedures.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of SUI patients who underwent AFPVS at our hospital between 2008 June and 2024 June following the failure of mid-urethral sling procedures. The analysis included basic information, surgical parameters, and postoperative complications.
