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 …

Objectives We examined sex differences of lower urinary tract function and molecular
mechanisms in mice with and without spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods SCI was induced by …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans results in inappropriate contractions of the external
urethral sphincter muscle (EUS) during micturition (bladder-sphincter dyssynergia), leading …

This review article aims to summarize the recent advancement in basic research on lower
urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) following spinal cord injury (SCI) above the sacral level. We …

To clarify the lower urinary tract function in mice, we compared bladder and urethral activity
between rats and mice with or without spinal cord injury (SCI). Female Sprague-Dawley rats …

We examined bladder function following spinal cord injury (SCI) by repeated urodynamic
investigation (UDI), including external urethral sphincter (EUS) electromyography (EMG) in …

Neurogenic bladder dysfunction is a condition that affects both bladder storage and voiding
function and remains one of the leading causes of morbidity after spinal cord injury (SCI) …

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 …

Aims To examine the effects of a different number of daily bladder squeezes on bladder
dysfunction in mice with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Spinal cord was transected at the …

Severe micturition dysfunction can occur following spinal cord injury (SCI) due to abnormal
contractions of the urethral sphincter during bladder contractions (bladder/sphincter …
