Journal Article
Sellers, D. J., McKay, N. G., Vahabi, B., & Lawson, K. (2011). Phasic activity of urinary bladder smooth muscle in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rat: Effect of potassium channel modulators. European Journal of Pharmacology, 660(2-3), 431-437. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejphar.2011.03.053

Increased phasic activity in the bladder smooth muscle of animal models and patients with detrusor overactivity has been suggested to underlie the pathophysiology of overactive bladder. Potassium (K+) channels are key regulators of bladder smooth mus...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent modulator of pathogen-induced host inflammatory responses. Lipopolysaccharide signaling to host cells is correlated with the expression of well-characterized LPS receptors. We have developed three-dimensional (3-D...

Journal Article
Evans, A., Steer, M., & Belle, E. (2011). The alcyonacea (soft corals and sea fans) of Antsiranana Bay, northern Madagascar. Madagascar conservation and development, 6(1), 29-36

During the past two decades, the Alcyonacea (soft corals and sea fans) of the western Indian Ocean have been the subject of numerous studies investigating their ecology and distribution. Comparatively, Madagascar remains understudied. This article pr... Read More about The alcyonacea (soft corals and sea fans) of Antsiranana Bay, northern Madagascar.

Bladder outlet physiology in the context of lower urinary tract dysfunction (2011)
Journal Article
Sadananda, P., Vahabi, B., & Drake, M. J. (2011). Bladder outlet physiology in the context of lower urinary tract dysfunction. Neurourology and Urodynamics, 30(5), 708-713. https://doi.org/10.1002/nau.21137

Physiological function of the bladder outlet is complex and symptomatic consequences can result from outlet dysfunction. Within the outlet, smooth, and skeletal muscles constitute the contractile apparatus, but additional cell types include interstit...

Detrusor underactivity: A plea for new approaches to a common bladder dysfunction (2011)
Journal Article

Aims: Detrusor underactivity (DU) is defined by the International Continence Society as a contraction of reduced strength and/or duration resulting in prolonged or incomplete emptying of the bladder but has yet received only little attention. The pur... Read More about Detrusor underactivity: A plea for new approaches to a common bladder dysfunction.
