Bladder and bowel responses to lumbosacral epidural stimulation in uninjured and transected anesthetized rats

Scientific Reports, 2021
Spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) mapping at L5-S1 was performed to identify parameters for bladder and bowel inhibition and/or contraction. Using spinally intact and chronic transected rats of both sexes in acute urethane-anesthetized terminal ...

Diagnosis of Urethral Resistance in Men: 70 Years of History

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The urethral resistance (UR) is one of the key outcomes of the urodynamic pressure‐flow study (PFS) in men. Combined with a clinical meaningful cut‐off point, urodynamic bladder outflow obstruction (BOO) can be determined. This characterization of BOO provides guidance in the management of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)

Exploratory Analysis of Peri‐Prostatic Adipose Tissue Radiomics Features and Their Potential to Predict Prostate Cancer Diagnosis: Results From a UK Biobank Study

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This paper reports the development and application of an artificial intelligence (AI)–led approach to large volume MRI data curation and image segmentation of periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT) in prostate cancer (PCa)–free men from the UK Biobank. We report how PPAT was defined, radiomics features of PPAT extracted, and explored

Effects of pudendal neuromodulation on bladder function in chronic spinal cord-injured rats

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016
Few studies have investigated the feasibility of using pudendal neuromodulation to regulate bladder function in spinal cord-injured (SCI) animals. The present study aimed to determine the effects of electrical activation of the pudendal sensory branch on

Treatment patterns and outcomes in perineal primary vulvar cancer—a population‐based Swedish cohort study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Perineal vulvar squamous cell carcinoma was identified in 147 of 571 cases. Owing to the anatomical proximity of these tumors to the anus, treatment selection may present considerable clinical challenges. The majority of patients (53%) underwent surgical treatment alone, whereas 23% received surgery combined with adjuvant radiotherapy and 24% were ...

Innervation of the anal canal revisited through micro‐CT imaging

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates to utility of micro‐CT imaging for conduction micro‐CT experiments to explore the innervation of the pelvic area in human fetuses. It allows for the creation of intricate 3D models, which show that peripheral nerve crossings occur over the entire length of the rectum and hints towards development and sex related differences in

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.
