Ureteric Calculi Prognosis Ureteric calculi (i.e. stones in the ureters) is a medical condition that causes an abrupt onset of pain, which may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting and blood in the urine, among other signs and symptoms. The presence of stones in these tubes that allow for the passage of urine from the kidneys to the bladder is most commonly seen in the 20 – 49-year-old age bracket. Stones, in increasing order of prevalence, may be chemically composed predominantly of calcium, struvite

Urinary Incontinence Urinary Incontinence (UI) is defined as the involuntary passing of urine. This can easily be confused with the disease that causes an excessive amount of urine, known as polyuria. Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control that causes leakage ranging from small amounts to large amounts and can be an extremely uncomfortable feeling for the animal as well as an annoyance for the pet owner. Depending on the cause, there are many different options to help control this condition

Examination, and Identification of Gram Negative Pathogenic Bacteria Present in Urine Used to Discover and Diagnose a Urinary Tract Infection Joel Goodwin (100119748) and James Bagley (Partner) 5 November 2014 Two urine samples were obtained, one from the researcher, and the other from an unknown patient labelled ‘pt 17’. The urine samples were diluted to 10-1 and 10-2 concentrations and were plated on TSA plates. The undiluted urine samples were also plated on MacConkey’s (MAC) agar plates, which only

Problem/Definition Microbes such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi enter the urethra and can cause a urinary tract infection. A “UTI” can occur in different parts of the urinary tract such as the kidneys, the ureter, the bladder or the urethra. They are more common in woman than in men. This is due to the females having a shorter urethra. According to Balentine (2015), “about 40% of women and 12% of men will experience a UTI in their lifetime”(p.1). It is because of the anatomical and physiological

described as the uncontrolled loss of urine, and can be broken down into five different types. The first type of urinary incontinence is stress incontinence, which occurs when there is involuntary emission of urine due to coughing, sneezing, or applying any increased pressure to the abdominal region. The second type is urge incontinence, which is when a person has a strong need to void, the bladder then spasms, and the person experiences a spontaneous loss of urine. The third type of incontinence that

to confirm and exclude the diagnosis of nephrolithiasis. Urinalysis is performed to examine the presence of blood, urine pH and crystals to identify the contents of the stone as well as infection. An elevated WBC count or presence of bacteria in the urine is a sign of infection. Identifying the stone composition will help to direct the medical therapy for the patient. A 24 hour urine collection is done to identify dietary and individual risk factors for recurrent nephrolithiasis. Several imaging studies

Urinary system comprises of tubes, organs, nerves, and muscles that work together to develop, store, and transport urine. The system is basically made up of two ureters, two kidneys, the urethra, two sphincter muscles, and the bladder. This system in the human body is primarily concerned with the filtering of extra fluid and substances from the bloodstream in the form of urine. While urine is used to extract extra blood corpuscles, vitamins, or mineral from the human body, it's a liquid created by the

water will have a higher rate of urine production than those who drank Gatorade. Similarly, those who drank regular soda will have greater specific gravity and water will have the lowest specific gravity because water dilutes the urine. On the other hand, those who drank Gatorade will have the more acidic urine than those who drank water because water has PH of 7. My assumption were people drinking 16 mL of water will have higher rate, compared to those with more urine than to drink Gatorade. In addition

Pediatric Urinary obstruction happens when something blocks the passage of urine from the body. The blockage may be in any of the following places: The kidneys. These are organs that filter blood and produce urine. The ureters. These are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The bladder. This is the sac that holds urine until it passes out of the body. The urethra. This is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Urinary obstruction can put pressure

urethra is the tube that drains urine from the bladder. It is important to get treatment for this condition early. Delayed treatment may lead to complications. What are the causes? This condition may be caused by: Germs that spread through sexual contact. This is the leading cause of urethritis. This may include bacterial or viral infections. Injury to the urethra. Injury can happen after a thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the urethra to drain urine or after medical instruments or
