Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the structural changes of the urinary bladder
after chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) in minipigs with the primary focus on the analysis of …

In order to gain a deeper understanding of bladder function, it is necessary to study the time-
dependent response of the bladder wall. The present study evaluated and compared the …

We have demonstrated that bladder wall tissue in spinal cord injury (SCI) rats at 10 days
post-injury is more compliant and accompanied by changes in material class from …

The ability of the urinary bladder to maintain low intravesical pressures while storing urine is
key in ensuring proper organ function and highlights the key role that tissue mechanics …

The urinary bladder stores urine and permits proper micturition, both functions that are
inherently mechanical. Bladder research to date has been limited to whole-organ testing …

Purpose: Changes in the mechanical properties of the bladder wall after spinal cord injury
can alter bladder compliance and wall tension, leading to changes in afferent nerve activity …

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) often lead to severe bladder dysfunctions. Our previous studies
have demonstrated that following SCI, rat bladder wall tissue became hypertrophied …

Background Prior studies have compared the effect of spinal cord injury elicited using
distinct approaches on motor and visceral function. However, the impact of such discrete …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) permanently alters bladder function in humans. Hematuria
and cystitis occur in both human SCI as well as in rodent models of SCI. Others have …

Following spinal cord injury (SCI), loss of spinal and supraspinal control results in
desynchronisation of detrusor vesicae (parasympathicus) and external urethral sphincter …
