Spinal cord injury in companion dogs can lead to urinary and fecal incontinence or retention,
depending on the severity, and localization of the lesion along the canine nervous system …

In pilot work, we showed that somatic nerve transfers can restore motor function in long-term
decentralized dogs. We continue to explore the effectiveness of motor reinnervation in 30 …

We determined the effect of pelvic organ decentralization and reinnervation 1 yr later on
urinary bladder histology and function. Nineteen canines underwent decentralization by …

This study determined the effect of pelvic organ decentralization and reinnervation 1 yr later
on the contribution of muscarinic and purinergic receptors to ex vivo, nerve-evoked, bladder …

Very little is known about the physiological role of nicotinic receptors in canine bladders,
although functional nicotinic receptors have been reported in bladders of many species …

Methods Twenty-three Sprague-Dawley adult female rats were used: 8 received disc
puncture (DP) of one lumbar IVD (L5/6, DP-1); 8 received DP of two lumbar IVDs (L4/5 & …

Fluoro-Gold is a fluorescent neuronal tracer suitable for targeted deep imaging of the
nervous system. Widefield fluorescence microscopy enables visualization of Fluoro-Gold …

OBJECTIVE Bladder dysfunction after nerve injury has a variable presentation, and extent of
injury determines whether the bladder is spastic or atonic. The authors have proposed a …

There is no effective treatment for hemiplegia after hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.
Considering that the branches of L4 nerve roots in the lumbar plexus root control the …

The function of the urinary bladder is controlled by the central nervous system, which in turn
receives input from afferent nerves of the bladder. An impaired nervous control of the …
