KEY FINDING: Among the 40 subjects, 35 patients showed neurogenic detrusor overactivity in the CMG study. Among these 35 patients, detrusor overactivity was suppressed eff ectively by pudendal nerve aff erent electrical stimulation in 32 patients.

KEY FINDING: Sperm motility improved in each subject after 4 weeks of oral probenecid.

KEY FINDING: SCC has a high sensitivity (100%) and negative predictive value (100%) for diagnosing neurogenic bladder, but a lower specificity (50%). This means that SCC is good at identifying patients who have neurogenic bladder and correctly ruling out those who don't, but it may have false positives.

KEY FINDING: Ceftolozane/tazobactam was effective in treating a febrile UTI caused by multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a patient with a neurogenic bladder.

KEY FINDING: The study reports a rare case of extraperitoneal bladder rupture with spontaneous healing in a spinal cord injury patient without manual instillation during VCUG.

KEY FINDING: 90.7% of men with traumatic SCI experienced erectile dysfunction, with 62.8% classified as severe.

KEY FINDING: Intravesical capsaicin significantly improved reflex volume, cystometric capacity, leak volume, and leak frequency in treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

KEY FINDING: Stimulation at the S1 level produced strong bladder contractions and EUS relaxation, resulting in voiding in 14 animals.

KEY FINDING: Exogenously applied VIP relaxes bladder and urethral smooth muscle and excites parasympathetic neurons in bladder ganglia.

KEY FINDING: Electrical perianal stimulation at frequencies between 3 Hz and 10 Hz significantly inhibited large amplitude reflex bladder activity.
