Micturition is coordinated at the level of the spinal cord and the brainstem. Spinal cord injury
therefore directly interrupts spinal neuronal pathways to the brainstem and results in bladder …

Neurogenic bladder (NGB) secondary to spinal cord injury (SCI) is accompanied with
several complications such as urinary tract deterioration, urinary incontinence, and …

This study evaluated the time-course changes in bladder and external urinary sphincter
(EUS) activity and the expression of mechanosensitive channels in lumbosacral dorsal root …

Introduction Sacral neuromodulation has been considered as an effective treatment option
for various types of chronic voiding dysfunction, but the mechanism of action has not been …

Purpose: We investigated the feasibility of augmentation in a diseased bladder with a
bladder acellular matrix graft. Materials and Methods: In 50 female Sprague-Dawley rats …

Background Exogenous NGF or saline was delivered to the detrusor smooth muscle of
female rats for a two-week period using osmotic mini-pumps. We then determined:(1) …

Background The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of high-BDNF
microenvironment produced by engineered immortalized mesenchymal stem cells …

During the past century, diverse studies have focused on the development of surgical
strategies to restore function of a decentralized bladder after spinal cord or spinal root injury …

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the feasibility of striated muscular
augmentation of the urinary bladder (detrusor‐myoplasty, DMP). Initial studies, transposition …

Objectives: This study investigated the mechanisms inducing autonomic dysreflexia due to
enhanced bladder-to-vascular reflexes in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: SCI …
