Modulation of bladder wall micromotions alters intravesical pressure activity in the isolated bladder (2019)
Journal Article
Chakrabarty, B., Bijos, D. A., Vahabi, B., Clavica, F., Kanai, A. J., Pickering, A. E., …Drake, M. J. (2019). Modulation of bladder wall micromotions alters intravesical pressure activity in the isolated bladder. Frontiers in Physiology, 9, Article 1937. https://doi.org/10.3389/fphys.2018.01937

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...
