How does the lower urinary tract contribute to bladder sensation? ICI-RS 2023 (2023)
Journal Article

Aim: Bladder sensation is critical for coordinating voluntary micturition to maintain healthy bladder function. Sensations are initiated by the activation of sensory afferents that innervate throughout the bladder wall. However, the physiological com...

The frequency-dependence of pre- and postganglionic nerve stimulation of pig and rat bladder (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: The urinary bladder generates phasic contractions via action potentials generated in pre- and then postganglionic neurons. Whilst the frequency-dependence of postganglionic neurons to generate contractions has been quantified, the dynamic ra...

Modulation of bladder wall micromotions alters intravesical pressure activity in the isolated bladder (2019)
Journal Article

Micromotions are phasic contractions of the bladder wall. During urine storage, such phasic activity has little effect on intravesical pressure, however, changed motile activity may underlie urodynamic observations such as detrusor overactivity. The...

The Evolutionarily Conserved Cassette Exon 7b Drives ERG's Oncogenic Properties (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 The oncogene ERG encodes an ETS family transcription factor and is implicated in blood, vascular, and bone development and in prostate, blood, and bone cancer. The ERG gene is alternatively spliced; of particular interest is its cassette exon... Read More about The Evolutionarily Conserved Cassette Exon 7b Drives ERG's Oncogenic Properties.

Is electrolyte transfer across the urothelium important?: ICI-RS 2015 (2017)
Journal Article

Abstract
AIMS:
This article summarizes discussion at the International Consultation on Incontinence Research Society (ICI-RS) 2015 meeting of urine modification in the urinary tract by the urothelium. It considers the literature and proposes pertin... Read More about Is electrolyte transfer across the urothelium important?: ICI-RS 2015.

Can we define and characterize the aging lower urinary tract?-ICI-RS 2015 (2017)
Journal Article

The prevalence of lower urinary tract (LUT) symptoms increases with age but the etiology is unknown. This article aims to identify research directions that clarify the basis of this association. The initial question is whether biological age is the v... Read More about Can we define and characterize the aging lower urinary tract?-ICI-RS 2015.

Estimation of bladder contractility from intravesical pressure–volume measurements (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Aims: To describe parameters from urodynamic pressure recordings that describe urinary bladder contractility through the use of principles of muscle mechanics. Methods: Subtracted detrusor pressure and voided flow were... Read More about Estimation of bladder contractility from intravesical pressure–volume measurements.

The role of the mucosa in normal and abnormal bladder function (2016)

Physiological and pathophysiological implications of micromotion activity in urinary bladder function (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Scandinavian Physiological Society. 'Micromotions' is a term signifying the presence of localized microcontractions and microelongations, alongside non-motile areas. The motile areas tend to shift over the bladder surface with time, and the in...
