The paper studies the action and clinical significance of a reflex termed 'vesicocavernosus' in 24 healthy volunteers (mean age 44.6 years, 15 men and 9 women). A balloon-tipped catheter was introduced into the urinary bladder and inflated with air in increments of 50 ml up to 300 ml. The response o

The purpose of this study was to investigate the response of the ureterovesical junction (UVJ) to ureteric distension and to bladder filling with the aim of elucidating the mechanism of UVJ antireflux. The study was performed on 13 healthy volunteers [-age 41.4+ 10.2 (SD) years; nine men, four women
The mechanism by which the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) regulates the passage of urine from the renal pelvis to the ureter, and prevents urinary backflow from the ureter to the renal pelvis, is not completely understood. The current communication studies this mechanism in 18 dogs. With the dogs unde
A gamma-motoneuron pathway to intrafusal muscle has been added to a previously studied model of the neuromuscular system and its reflex pathways. A general differential-difference equation is derived for the system which can be solved analytically and numerically. The homogeneous part of the solutio
