Urology Research

KEY FINDING: Recordings of SSR from incomplete SCI patients with urinary incontinence showed significantly reduced amplitudes, especially in the suprapubic area.

KEY FINDING: All rats in the thoracic spinal cord stimulation group died within three days of the injury, likely due to cardiac complications.

KEY FINDING: Bladder compliance during the first and second phases of filling cystometry was significantly correlated with overall bladder compliance in overactive detrusors.

KEY FINDING: Bladder volume and compliance at the onset of VUR showed significant differences between patients with detrusor overactivity and those with detrusor underactivity.

KEY FINDING: Cystometric capacity was significantly larger and maximal detrusor pressure was significantly lower on follow-up, likely due to treatment.

KEY FINDING: The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria was 67.7%, and symptomatic urinary tract infection was 22.6% among the spinal cord injury patients studied.

KEY FINDING: Stimulation of certain posterior rootlets in L6/S1 significantly impacted bladder pressure, while others mainly affected urethral perfusion or intracavernous pressure.

KEY FINDING: Increased detrusor pressure was seen in nerve transfer animals after functional electrical stimulation (FES).

KEY FINDING: The United States has consistently been a leading country in research on spinal cord injury-induced neurogenic bladder.

KEY FINDING: Repeated urodynamic studies revealed an increase in cystometric capacity and a decrease in the maximum detrusor pressures.
