The study evaluated patient satisfaction with surgical procedures and bladder management in chronic SCI patients desiring spontaneous voiding. Initial satisfaction was generally high, especially with ...
KEY FINDING: Most patients were satisfied with their initial bladder outlet operation in facilitating spontaneous voiding, with TUI-BN and external sphincterotomy showing the highest satisfaction rates.
Neurourol Urodyn, 2023 • January 1, 2023
This study pooled data from two phase III clinical trials to assess the efficacy and safety of abobotulinumtoxinA (aboBoNT-A) in treating urinary incontinence due to neurogenic detrusor overactivity (...
KEY FINDING: A significant reduction was observed in mean NDOI episodes/week at Week 6 with both aboBoNT‐A doses versus placebo in the SCI (all p < 0.001) and MS (all p < 0.01) groups
Toxins, 2022 • November 10, 2022
Following spinal cord injury (SCI), pathological reflexes develop that result in altered bladder function and sphincter dis-coordination, with accompanying changes in the detrusor. In a rodent model of...
KEY FINDING: BoNT-A injected bladders of SCI rats weighed significantly less than saline injected bladders of SCI rats.
Tzu Chi Medical Journal, 2024 • May 24, 2024
Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) is common in patients with central nervous system (CNS) lesions, often leading to overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and urinary incontinence. The rev...
KEY FINDING: Patients with CNS-related NLUTD commonly experience uninhibited detrusor overactivity, inadequate detrusor contractility, and dyscoordination of the urethral sphincter during voiding, which can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment.
Int. J. Environ. Res. Public Health, 2022 • December 18, 2022
This study investigated satisfaction with bladder management and reasons for altering bladder management in chronic SCI patients via a prospective cross-sectional survey. The study found that a majori...

This study evaluated the appropriateness of ASB and UTI management in hospitalized patients with NB, finding a high proportion of inappropriate UTI diagnoses and treatments. The study highlights the n...
KEY FINDING: Almost one-third of UTI diagnoses and half of treatments in hospitalized patients with NB are inappropriate.
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2023 • May 1, 2023
This study investigates the role of the 5-HT1A receptor in regulating lower urinary tract (LUT) function after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. It examines the expression levels of the 5-HT1A recepto...
KEY FINDING: The study identified significant upregulation of the 5-HT1A receptor in the T10-L2 and L6/S1 spinal segments after chronic complete SCI.
Indian Journal of Urology, 2023 • December 29, 2022
This study presents a case series and systematic review of xanthogranulomatous epididymo-orchitis (XGEO), a rare inflammatory condition affecting the male genital organs. The research analyzes clinica...
KEY FINDING: XGEO often presents as a subacute or chronic condition, predominantly affecting men in their 50s and 60s. Symptoms include swelling, tenderness, or pain in the scrotal region.
