Bladder and bowel dysfunction in Down syndrome with neural tube defect: case report and review of the literature

Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2023
Background Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by trisomy of chromosome 21 and characterized by an increased risk of multiorgan involvement. In Down syndrome children, functional constipation and lower urinary tract infections have been described,

Bladder augmentation and urinary diversion in patients with neurogenic bladder: Non-surgical considerations [PDF]

Journal of Pediatric Urology, 2011
Segments from almost all parts of the bowel have been used for urinary diversion. As a result, the available absorptive surface area of the bowel is reduced, and the incorporation of bowel segments into the urinary tract may have metabolic consequences. This is an area somewhat neglected in the literature.

Management of urinary tract infections in patients with neurogenic bladder: challenges and solutions

Research and Reports in Urology, 2017
Introduction Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common morbidities in persons with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). They are associated with a significant morbidity and mortality, and they affect the quality of life of

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.

Neurogenic Defects Occur in LRIG2-Associated Urinary Bladder Disease

Kidney International Reports, 2023
Urofacial, or Ochoa, syndrome (UFS) is an autosomal recessive disease featuring a dyssynergic bladder with detrusor smooth muscle contracting against an undilated outflow tract. It also features an abnormal grimace. Half of individuals with UFS carry biallelic variants in HPSE2, whereas other rare families carry variants in LRIG2.LRIG2 is ...
