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...

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

© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 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...

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...

Does diabetes mellitus-induced bladder remodeling affect lower urinary tract function?: ICI-RS 2011 (2012)
Journal Article

Aims Due to an increase in aging population and changing eating habits diabetes mellitus (DM) type II is a rapidly increasing condition worldwide. Although not so detrimental as other co-morbidities, uropathy contributes to a significantly reduced qu...

Bladder outlet physiology in the context of lower urinary tract dysfunction (2011)
Journal Article

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.
