[Study of bulbocavernosus reflex using electrostimulation electromyography]. 1984

Y Komeda, and H Kato, and K Saito, and N Kinoshita, and Y Yamazaki

Evoked response of bulbocavernosus reflex was taken in 8 normal control individuals and in 15 abnormal voiding patients (8 benign prostatic hyperplasia, 4 diabetic neuropathy, 3 supranuclear neurogenic bladder). the latency in control group showed 31.5 +/- 5.0 msec duration after penile stimulation and 65.4 +/- 11.0 msec duration after posterior urethral stimulation. The latency in diabetic neuropathy group was obviously prolonged but not that in the supranuclear neurogenic bladder group. This modern neurophysiological electrostimulation method provides simple and accurate information of bulbocavernosus reflex.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D010413	Penis	The external reproductive organ of males. It is composed of a mass of erectile tissue enclosed in three cylindrical fibrous compartments. Two of the three compartments, the corpus cavernosa, are placed side-by-side along the upper part of the organ. The third compartment below, the corpus spongiosum, houses the urethra.	Glans Penis,Penis, Glans
D011470	Prostatic Hyperplasia	Increase in constituent cells in the PROSTATE, leading to enlargement of the organ (hypertrophy) and adverse impact on the lower urinary tract function. This can be caused by increased rate of cell proliferation, reduced rate of cell death, or both.

D012018	Reflex	An involuntary movement or exercise of function in a part, excited in response to a stimulus applied to the periphery and transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.
D001750	Urinary Bladder, Neurogenic	Dysfunction of the URINARY BLADDER due to disease of the central or peripheral nervous system pathways involved in the control of URINATION. This is often associated with SPINAL CORD DISEASES, but may also be caused by BRAIN DISEASES or PERIPHERAL NERVE DISEASES.

D003929	Diabetic Neuropathies	Peripheral, autonomic, and cranial nerve disorders that are associated with DIABETES MELLITUS. These conditions usually result from diabetic microvascular injury involving small blood vessels that supply nerves (VASA NERVORUM). Relatively common conditions which may be associated with diabetic neuropathy include third nerve palsy (see OCULOMOTOR NERVE DISEASES); MONONEUROPATHY; mononeuropathy multiplex; diabetic amyotrophy; a painful POLYNEUROPATHY; autonomic neuropathy; and thoracoabdominal neuropathy.
