TL;DR: Five indole compounds have been isolated from bovine pineal tissue and characterized as N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin), 5-hydroxytryptophol, 5-Methoxyindole-3-acetic acid, and 5-Hydroxyindole -3-ACetic acid.
Abstract: Five indole compounds have been isolated from bovine pineal tissue and characterized as 5-methoxytryptophol, N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin), 5-hydroxytryptophol, 5-methoxyindole-3-acetic acid, and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid. Pineal hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase, with S-adenosylmethionine, converts 5-hydroxytryptophol to 5-methoxytryptophol.

TL;DR: Rpture of the bladder from external trauma is usually due to a blow to the abdomen when the bladder is distended or associated with a fractured pelvis, and extraperitoneal bladder ruptures may be treated with catheter drainage if the urine clears of blood promptly and the catheter drains well.
Abstract: Rupture of the bladder from external trauma is usually due to a blow to the abdomen when the bladder is distended or associated with a fractured pelvis. The diagnosis is made by performance of a retrograde cystogram and observation of contrast extravasation. An intravenous contrast study is not acceptable. All patients with an intraperitoneal bladder rupture should have formal repair. Extraperitoneal bladder ruptures may be treated with catheter drainage if the urine clears of blood promptly, the catheter drains well, and the bladder neck is not involved in the injury. Otherwise, formal repair is mandatory.
