OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) on bladder
function and synaptic neurotransmission in the lumbosacral spinal cord in the spinalized rat …

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

Ideal therapy for lower urinary tract dysfunction in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI)
should decrease detrusor overactivity, thereby promoting urine storage at low intravesical …

Objective To examine the lower urinary tract function of a rat lumbar canal stenosis (LCS)
model by in vivo cystometry before and after α1 adrenoceptor antagonist or cholinesterase …

Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common problem in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Since the coordination of the urinary bladder and urethra is controlled by the complex …

BACKGROUND: Autonomous contractile activity (ACA) is a well-known phenomenon in
isolated bladders from different species and seems to be important in the physiology of both …

Background Neurogenic bladder associated with spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in
serious disruption of lower urinary tract function. Compared to conventional therapies, sacral …

This study was undertaken to determine if an AMPA (LY215490) or an NMDA (MK-801)
glutamatergic receptor antagonist can reduce urinary tract dysfunctions related to detrusor …

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 …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) often causes micturition dysfunction. We recently
discovered a low level of spinally-derived dopamine (DA) that regulates recovered bladder …
