Decreased Angiopoietin Expression in Underactive Bladder Induced by Long-term Bladder Outlet Obstruction
CONCLUSION: In a rat model of underactive bladder caused by surgical BOO, reduced angiopoietin expression was demonstrated. This observation might underlie visceral ischemia and fibrosis associated with the procedure. The findings of this study might offer an improved understanding of the disease processes underlying BOO and facilitate selection of the appropriate time to repair the organ in this condition.PMID:38171327 | PMC:PMC10762367 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2346296.148 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)

Artificial Intelligence-Based Patient Monitoring System for Medical Support
CONCLUSION: In this study, we developed a urination disease monitoring system aimed at predicting and managing risks for patients with urination issues. The system is designed to support the entire care cycle of a patient by leveraging AI technology that processes various image and signal data. We anticipate that this system will evolve into digital treatment products, ultimately providing therapeutic benefits to patients.PMID:38171328 | PMC:PMC10762372 | DOI:10.5213/inj.2346338.169 (Source: International Neurourology Journal)
