In cases of neurogenic bladder disturbances – especially if the pathological process cannot be clinically approved – useful information could be obtained by measuring conduction velocity between sacral roots and striated pelvic floor muscles. Measurements have been performed to determine normal conduction time. Technique and results arepresented.
WITH electromyography we are able to trace the innervation of striated muscle. Thus, by the use of this method, we are also able to examine the striated sphincters of the bladder and of the anus. However, the electromyograph cannot measure the activity of the detrusor muscle of the bladder which is innervated by the autonomic nervous system (parasympathetic). The involuntary and voluntary nervous structures which innervate the bladder and anus are anatomically and functionally closely related; this is the reason why important information needed for judging the normal and pathological function of bladder and rectum can be achieved by tracing the bio-electrical activity of striated muscles of the sphincters and of the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Chondrodermatitis nodularis helicis is frequently found as a solitary, tender, nodular, unilateral lesion on the upper helical part of the pinna. It affects most commonly white men over the age of 40 and shows typical histopathological findings. The case of a patient with these histopathological characteristics but a unique clinical appearance of bilateral symmetrical multinodular lesions of the anthelix is presented and the treatment described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
