KEY FINDING: Lower urinary tract electrical stimulation increased urine production per time compared to bladder diary baseline values.

KEY FINDING: Bladder capacity increased by approximately 34% and 77% of the baseline bladder capacity at 1.5 T and 3.2 T, respectively.

KEY FINDING: Early removal of indwelling catheters in SCI patients by non-specialty centers can lead to adverse outcomes such as autonomic dysreflexia, renal failure, and electrolyte abnormalities.

KEY FINDING: The NHSN guideline definition for CAUTI can lead to misdiagnosis in patients with spinal cord injury who have asymptomatic bacteriuria but meet the criteria of fever and a positive urine culture.

KEY FINDING: Applying KF waveforms increased bladder voiding in single trials from 3 ± 6% to 59 ± 12%.

KEY FINDING: The study found that after RF sacral rhizotomy, bladder capacity increased in 9 out of 12 patients, indicating improved bladder function.

KEY FINDING: Relationship factors like partner satisfaction, relationship quality, mood, and independence are more important for sexual satisfaction than genital functioning after spinal cord injury.

KEY FINDING: UI in individuals with MS, SCI, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke has a substantial negative impact on patients’ HRQoL, affecting physical function, emotional well-being, and social relationships.

KEY FINDING: The tip of the SPC caused recurrent obstruction of the right distal ureter, leading to hydronephrosis and urosepsis.

KEY FINDING: Botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) is effective in treating neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) by decreasing urinary incontinence and improving urodynamic parameters.
