Transurethral versus suprapubic catheterization to test urethral function in rats

Scientific Reports, 2021
Transurethral and suprapubic catheterization have both been used to test urethral function in rats; however, it is unknown whether these methods affect urethral function or if the order of catheterization affects the results.

Propagation of Pathological α-Synuclein from the Urogenital Tract to the Brain Initiates MSA-like Syndrome

iScience, 2020
Summary: The neuropathological feature of multiple system atrophy (MSA), a fatal adult-onset disorder without effective therapy, is the accumulation of pathological α-synuclein (α-Syn) in the central nervous system (CNS). Here we show that pathological α-

How Can We Personalize the Delivery of Onabotulinumtoxin‐A for Patients With Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) can produce bothersome urinary symptoms, impact quality of life, and in some cases, lead to deterioration of upper urinary tract function. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxin‐A (BoNT‐A) is approved for NLUTD in patients who have an inadequate response to or ...

Advancing Personalized Care for Neurogenic Bladder: The Case for Continent Urinary Diversion

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) with a poorly compliant bladder that is refractory to minimally invasive therapies (MIT) represents an “end‐stage” phenotype in which the principal objectives are durable upper urinary tract protection and restoration of continence with acceptable long‐term morbidity.

Urodynamic Voiding Patterns in Multiple Sclerosis

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This study aimed to describe urodynamic voiding patterns in patients with MS (PwMS) using standardized assessments, and to compare the performance of the available nomograms and indices for obstruction and bladder contractility. Methods PwMS and lower urinary tract symptoms underwent cystometry and pressure flow studies.
