The urethral rhabdosphincter and pelvic floor muscles are important in maintenance of
urinary continence and in preventing descent of pelvic organs [ie, pelvic organ prolapse …

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) …

A life-threatening disability after complete spinal cord injury is urinary dysfunction, which is
attributable to lack of regeneration of supraspinal pathways that control the bladder …

Previous studies demonstrated that neural progenitor cells (NPCs) transplanted into a
subacute contusion injury improve motor, sensory, and bladder function. In this study we …

A robust and complex inflammatory cascade is known to be a prominent component of
secondary injury following spinal cord injury (SCI). Specifically, the concept of trauma …

Objectives To develop a urodynamic model incorporating external urethral sphincter (EUS)
electromyography (EMG) in awake rats. Materials and Methods Bladder catheters and EUS …

Neurogenic bladder predisposes to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) and renal failure,
and susceptibility is commonly ascribed to urinary stasis from elevated residual urine …

Study design: Additional examination. In this study, we report changes in bladder function
after a combined treatment that was designed to study axonal regeneration after complete …

Here, we describe a bilateral cervical contusion model for mice. Adult female mice received
graded bilateral contusion injuries at cervical level 5 (C5) using a commercially available …

Pre-clinical studies have shown that spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) at the level of
pelvic and pudendal nerve inputs/outputs (L5-S1) alters storage and/or emptying functions …
