While smoking and exposure to certain chemicals are well-defined risk factors for bladder cancer, there is no consensus as to the roles of modifiable lifestyle factors, notably physical activity, and obesity. We evaluated associations of obesity and physical activity with bladder cancer risk by
A number of epidemiological studies has established obesity as a risk factor for gallstone disease. More recently, studies have suggested a relationship between gallstone disease and the metabolic syndrome linked to central adiposity, whose cardinal feature is represented by hyperinsulinaemia.
BACKGROUND
Bladder calculus is associated with chronic irritation and inflammation. As there is substantial documentation that inflammation can play a direct role in carcinogenesis, to date the relationship between stone formation and bladder cancer (BC) remains unclear. This study aimed to examine
In order to assess gall-bladder (GB) motility in obese patients, we measured by ultrasound the GB fasting volume (FV) in 45 women (23 obese, 22 controls) and 43 men (21 obese, 22 controls). The FV was larger in obese women (45.9 +/- 21.6 cm3) than in controls (26.6 +/- 10.7 cm3) (P less than 0.001),
BACKGROUND
The association between obesity and bladder cancer prognosis is not well-defined. This meta-analysis was performed to explore whether obesity is related to overall survival (OS) and bladder cancer recurrence.
METHODS
Relevant English-language studies were identified by searching PubMed®
A rare case of massive inguinoscrotal hernia of the bladder in an obese 73-year-old man is described. The condition was successfully treated by simple repositioning of the bladder followed by abdominal wall repair.
We aimed to investigate the role of insulin in the bladder and its relevance for the development of overactive bladder (OAB) in insulin-resistant obese mice. Bladders from male individuals who were involved in multiple organ donations were used. C57BL6/J mice were fed with a high-fat diet for 10
After the failure of conservative treatment in patients with neurogenic bladders, urinary diversion is a viable compromise between the urologist's concerns and the patient's desire, as the upper urinary tract can be protected in the long-term and high continence rates can be provided. This can be
Relations of obesity and type 2 diabetes to urinary tract cancer were described. Occurrence of kidney cancer is more often in both obesity and type 2 diabetes. Bladder cancer has no relation to obesity but is more common in type 2 diabetic patients. Inverted relations were found in prostatic cancer.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association between body mass index and clinicopathological features of bladder cancer, and to assess the prognostic value of body mass index in patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
METHODS
The medical records of 714 patients who underwent radical
CONCLUSIONS
OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence and severity of nocturia and lower urinary tract symptoms in obese women and to identify risk factors associated with nocturia in an obese population.
METHODS
We performed a case-control study based on the registry of a university hospital obesity
In the normal physiology of the bladder wall, it has sufficient elasticity so that it can maintain normal pressure during filling phase of bladder. Bladder functional pathology can cause many problems for patients.This evaluation is a cross-sectional study OBJECTIVE
The aim of this review was to assess the clinical utility of portable bladder ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE
TARGET POPULATION AND CONDITION Data from the National Population Health Survey indicate prevalence rates of urinary incontinence are 2.5% in women and 1.4 % in men in the general
