Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a serious burden for patients following spinal cord injury.
Patients are usually limited to treatment with urinary drainage catheters, which can lead to …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) produces lower urinary tract (LUT) dysfunction that has
been studied in surgical transection models. Our aim was to assess LUT functional deficit in …

Recovery of urinary tract function after spinal cord injury (SCI) is important in its own right
and may also serve as a model for studying mechanisms of functional recovery after injury in …

Loss of bladder function is an important consequence of a spinal cord injury (SCI) but is
rarely assessed in animal studies of SCI. Here, we use a simple outcome measure (volume …

Aims To summarize the changes that occur in the properties of bladder afferent neurons
following spinal cord injury. Methods Literature review of anatomical, immunohistochemical …

Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction typically develops after spinal cord injury. We
investigated the time course and the anatomical changes in the spinal cord that may be …

Objectives: To compare changes in lower urinary tract (LUT) function with modifications in
pathways that regulate LUT function using two different animal models (incomplete and …

The functions of the lower urinary tract to store and periodically release urine are dependent
upon neural circuits located in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral ganglia_ 1, 2 This …

There is an increasing need to develop approaches that will not only improve the clinical
management of neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) after spinal cord injury …

In rats, phasic external urethral sphincter (EUS) activity (bursting) is postulated to be crucial
for efficient voiding. This has been reported to be lost after spinal cord transection (txSCI) …
