Urology Research

KEY FINDING: Autonomic dysreflexia severity was reduced during urodynamics post-Botox, with a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure increase compared to pre-Botox levels.

KEY FINDING: Genital nerve stimulation (GNS) reduced the number of leakage events from 1.0 ± 0.5 to 0.1 ± 0.4 leaks per day in the four subjects who reported incontinence data.

KEY FINDING: Conditional neuromodulation significantly increased bladder capacity in six male subjects with spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: The primary outcome measure is the success of sacral neuromodulation, defined as at least a 50% improvement in key bladder diary variables compared to baseline.

KEY FINDING: Cystography parameters (bladder shape, capacity, diverticula) did not significantly predict response to BTX-A injections.

KEY FINDING: Patients with injury at cervical sections had significantly lower scores in physical functioning.

KEY FINDING: Tamsulosin treatment decreased acetylcholine-induced bladder contraction in rats with spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: Enabling locomotor-related spinal neuronal circuits by epidural stimulation also influences neural networks controlling bladder function.

KEY FINDING: Electrically evoked potentials in hindlimb muscles and the external urethral sphincter are modulated uniquely depending on the rat's activity: stepping, pre-voiding, or voiding.

KEY FINDING: Women with SCI reported significantly lower scores on the SQOL-F total and its domains (sexual repression, self-worth, sexual and relationship satisfaction, and psycho-sexual feelings) compared to the control group.
