Mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) convert mechanical signals into electrochemical signals, which are essential for almost all mammalian cells1. The urinary system is important in the regulation of water and salt metabolism, the maintenance of acid-base balance, and hormone production2,3,4. As key...
The urinary system comprehends an upper (kidneys and ureters) and a lower (urinary bladder and urethra)urinary tract. The lower urinary tract shares someanatomical structureswith the reproductive system; for that reason these 2 systems might be referred to as the genito-urinary tract. In females...
The mucosa consists of the thin, densely labeled urothelium and the lighter suburothelium. Detrusor smooth muscle s shown in pink; a large vein is shown bottom left. (B) Diagram showing the components of the bladder wall and the mechanical and chemical stresses that may be experie...
aPearson correlation scores and associated FDR-values [−log10] of all protein intensities with the UPDRS-III scores; 20 LRRK2 PD and 21 HC were included. Significantly correlated proteins with an FDR of 5% after Benjamini–Hochberg correction are labeled.bThe scatterplots of three biomarkers ...

Throughout the chapter, the practice guidelines discussed will be labeled with the strength of recommendation and quality of evidence as www.intechopen.com Reducing the Incidence of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in the Acute Care Setting Using Evidence-Based Guidelines 135 defined by this...
native and stable isotope-labeled compounds are used as tracers in equal amounts, and the intensity ratio between the native and isotope-labeled signal responses at approximately 1:1 is traced.13,14However, the intensity ratios between native and isotope-labeled metabolite signals are not always cl...
11, 12, 26 In the first step, primary AQP-1 antibody was applied on the sections and the peroxidase-labeled anti-rabbit immunoglobulin of the DAKO EnVision System (DAKO, Tokyo, Japan) was used as a secondary antibody. Peroxidase activity was visualized using diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (...
