Developing a functional urinary bladder: a neuronal context

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015
The development of organs occurs in parallel with the formation of their nerve supply. The innervation of pelvic organs (lower urinary tract, hindgut, and sexual organs) is complex and we know remarkably little about the mechanisms that form these neural

Probabilistic, spinally-gated control of bladder pressure and autonomous micturition by Barrington’s nucleus CRH neurons

eLife, 2020
Micturition requires precise control of bladder and urethral sphincter via parasympathetic, sympathetic and somatic motoneurons. This involves a spino-bulbospinal control circuit incorporating Barrington’s nucleus in the pons (Barr).

Urothelial Calcium-Sensing Receptor Modulates Micturition Function via Mediating Detrusor Activity and Ameliorates Bladder Hyperactivity in Rats

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
The urothelium displays mechano- and chemosensory functions via numerous receptors and channels. The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) detects extracellular calcium and modulates several physiological functions.

Turkish Validation of the Hallym Post Micturition Dribble Questionnaire (HPMDQ) and Evaluation of Bulbar Urethral Massage Response

, 2022
Objective:As the evidence has been increasing about the post-micturition dribble (PMD) symptom, widely accepted lower-urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) questionnaires fail to assess PMD alone.

Comparative analysis of the symptomatology of children with lower urinary tract dysfunction in relation to objective data

International Brazilian Journal of Urology, 2006
OBJECTIVES: To assess the clinical presentation of children with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) relating to objective examination data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-four children (36 girls and 8 boys with mean age of 6.8 years) with LUTD were ...

The Role of PIEZO1 in Urinary Bladder Function and Dysfunction in a Rodent Model of Cyclophosphamide-Induced Cystitis

Frontiers in Pain Research, 2021
In the urinary bladder, mechanosensitive ion channels (MSCs) underlie the transduction of bladder stretch into sensory signals that are relayed to the PNS and CNS.

Brainstem network dynamics underlying the encoding of bladder information

eLife, 2017
Urodynamic status must interact with arousal and attentional processes so that voiding occurs under appropriate conditions. To elucidate the central encoding of this visceral demand, multisite recordings were made within a putative pontine-cortical ...

Delivery of the 5-HT_2A Receptor Agonist, DOI, Enhances Activity of the Sphincter Muscle during the Micturition Reflex in Rats after Spinal Cord Injury

Biology, 2021
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) interrupts spinobulbospinal micturition reflex pathways and results in urinary dysfunction. Over time, an involuntary bladder reflex is established due to the reorganization of spinal circuitry.

Do transsexuals have micturition disorders?

, 2007
OBJECTIVE: Transsexualism occurs with an estimated prevalence of 2.4:100,000 male-to-female (MTF) and 1:100,000 female-to-male (FTM) transsexuals. As sex reassignment surgery involves surgery of the urethra and transsexuals are substituted life-long with

Natural history of micturition syncope

, 1975
A follow-up study was performed on 10 patients with micturition syncope 5-15 years after their initial attack. Three patients had died of cardiac or pulmonary diseases (at age 61, 69 and 82 years).
