Pressure/cross-sectional area relations in the proximal urethra of healthy males: the time dependent pressure response following forced dilation Part IV: Results in healthy volunteers
Abstract:The significance of the anatomical location and age on the urethral response to a sudden forced dilation was studied in 30 healthy males aged 23-85 years. The pressure decay after dilation was fitted with a double exponential function of the form:where P t is pressure at time t, P equ is equilibrium pressure after dilation, P a and P b are pressure decay, and s a and s b are time constants. The pressure response was highly affected by the location of the measurement, with the maximum values of the pressure com… Show more
