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 …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the rat urinary bladder augmented by an
acellular matrix graft can restore the bladder's low-pressure reservoir function and preserve …

Background: Compared to conventional therapies, sacral neuromodulation (SNM) may offer
an alternative, non-destructive treatment for SCI patients with bladder dysfunction …

One hundred eighteen patients consecutively admitted to a University Rehabilitation
Program entered a protocol study of urologic management. Bladder pressures were kept …

OBJECTIVE To establish an artificial bladder reflex arc in dogs via an abdominal reflex
pathway above the level of spinal cord injury to reinnervate the neurogenic bladder and …

PURPOSE: Spinal cord injury induces functional and morphological changes in bladder
afferent pathways. However, direct evidence for changes in the excitability of afferent nerve …

Previous studies have demonstrated changes in urinary bladder neurotrophic factors after
bladder dysfunction. We have hypothesized that retrograde transport of neurotrophin (s) …

Background This study investigated whole neurogenic bladder's progression changes, as
well as the expression of TGF-β1 fibrosis pathway-related proteins in bilateral spinal nerve …

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 …

Afferent and efferent nerve function in the atonic bladder caused by conus medullaris injury
in a rat model was established by intradural microanastomosis of the left L5 ventral root (VR) …
