(a.) Of or pertaining to the pudenda, or pudendum.
Example Sentences:
(1) A new simplified technique for evaluating the internal pudendal artery and the penile vessels is described using a new catheter configuration with a very short 90 degrees-angled tip.
(2) The data presented in this paper confirm the need for stimulation of the pudendal reflex arch to achieve physiological conditions.
(3) Until now the mean value of the left and right pudendal latencies has been used as the index of pudendal neuropathy.
(4) Pelvic nerve: vagina, cervix, and perineal skin; hypogastric nerve: cervix and proximal three fifths of the uterus; pudendal nerve: skin of perineum, inner thigh, and clitoral sheath.
(5) The tests of motor function showed pelvic floor motor neuropathy in the patients with IFI, compared with controls, anal canal resting and voluntary contraction pressures were significantly (p less than 0.05, p less than 0.002) lower, pudendal nerve terminal motor latency and external anal sphincter fibre density were significantly (p less than 0.05, p less than 0.05) raised.
(6) The field potentials evoked by sensory pudendal nerve stimulation were located in medial parts of laminae V and VI, and lamina X in the S1 to S3 spinal segments.
(7) Digital angiography of pudendal and penile arteries was performed in 44 consecutive patients with erectile failure of suspected vascular origin.
(8) In two of these patients the pudendal nerve terminal motor latency could not be recorded after surgery.
(9) We sought to determine whether clonidine could influence, at a central level, somatic and viscerosomatic reflexes on the pudendal nerve independent of actions on the sympathetic nervous system.
(10) Somatosensory cortical evoked potential studies (SEPs) following stimulation of the pudendal nerves proved useful in objectively documenting preoperative low sacral root involvement in a 33-year-old postlaminectomy patient, presenting with impending cauda equina syndrome and treated by piriformis muscle release with good clinical results.
(11) When a reflex bladder contraction occurred in response to filling (expulsion phase) the intravesical pressure exceeded the urethral pressure and at the top of the vesical contraction a series of rapid intraluminal pressure high frequency oscillations (IPHFO) were recorded at the urethral recording site, which were abolished by neuromuscular blocking agents as well as after acute sectioning of pudendal nerves.
(12) Gross neuropathy of the distal part of the pudendal nerve does not account for the observed external anal sphincter weakness in geriatric patients or for their faecal incontinence.
(13) An alternative is electrostimulation: stimulation of the afferents of the pudendal nerve, via the pelvic floor (anal, vaginal), percutaneously (dorsal nerve of the penis, clitoric nerve) or by the implantation of electrodes results in inhibition of the detrusor.
(14) 24 men suffering from localized prostatic cancer undergoing radical retropubic nerve-sparing prostatectomy were investigated by the following electrophysiological methods: Bulbocavernosus reflexes elicited from the penile skin or the posterior urethra, sensory thresholds in the posterior urethra, cerebral evoked potentials after stimulation of the pudendal nerve or the posterior urethra.
(15) Under local anesthesia a penile arteriographic catheter is placed in the internal pudendal artery.
(16) In N group, HGN stimulation still elicited responses of the rhabdosphincter even after pudendal nerve was transected in advance, indicating that these evoked potentials were independent of somatic nerve inflow.
(17) Performance of standard arteriography leads to insufficient visualization of pudendal and penile vessels and risks false positive results.
(18) Concomitant labelling of pudendal and sciatic nerves with different fluorescent tracers revealed a small number of double-labelled cells in the dorsal root ganglia but only single-labelled cells in the retrodorsolateral nucleus.
(19) To assess this problem, 24 impotent diabetic subjects, 21 nonimpotent diabetic subjects, and 10 subjects with psychogenic impotence were compared with nocturnal monitoring of penile tumescence and rigidity, penile arterial blood flow, and nerve conduction of the pudendal nerve.
(20) After each patient's history and physical examination were taken, a series of tests were administered which included hepatic and renal function, blood sugar, cholesterol, triglyceride, testosterone, prolactin level, nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), duplex sonography, cavernosography, and internal pudendal arteriography.
Pudendum
Definition:
(n.) The external organs of generation, especially of the female; the vulva.
Example Sentences:
(1) The lesser lips of the pudendum were fashioned from the skin of the penis and the prepuce.
(2) A genetically intact newborn suffered from methaemoglobinaemia after delivery under pudendum anaesthesia with prilocaine.
(3) The pedicle flap of skin and adipose tissue was taken from the area bordered by the greater lip of the pudendum, the perineum and the thigh.
