It is the detrusor muscle whose contraction causes expulsion of urine from the bladder, under the action of parasympathetic nervous system.

The pleural membranes thicken as a result of the chronic irritation and inflammation that asbestos fibers cause when they lodge in the lungs.hickening of the pleural membranes is not a condition which is treatable. Because the thickening is a symptom of a disease such as asbestosis, treatment is more focused on the underlying cause of the thickening.

Causes may involve the CNS (eg, stroke, spinal injury, meningomyelocele, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), peripheral nerves (eg, diabetic, alcoholic, or vitamin B 12 deficiency neuropathies; herniated disks; damage due to pelvic surgery), or both (eg, Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, syphilis).

Urinary Retention in Adults: Diagnosis and Initial Management Obstruction of the lower urinary tract at or distal to the bladder neck can cause urinary retention. The obstruction may be intrinsic (e.g., prostatic enlargement, bladder stones, urethral stricture) or extrinsic (e.g., when a uterine or gastrointestinal mass compresses the bladder neck causing outlet obstruction).he most common cause of urinary retention is benign prostatic hyperplasia. Other common causes include prostatitis, cystitis, urethritis, and vulvovaginitis; receiving medications in the anticholinergic and alpha-adrenergic agonist classes; and cortical, spinal, or peripheral nerve lesions.
