... of capsaicin. The presence of exogenous substance P did not improve detrusor contractility in capsaicin-pretreated bladders. The results of this study reveal that capsaicin-sensitive primary afferents have an important role in modulating reflex micturition and detrusor contractility. Depletion of neuropeptides...

... harmonizes the relation between defecation and micturition. It guards against involuntary micturition when the rectal detrusor is distended. Changes in amplitude and latency of the reflex may be significant in assessing rectourinary disorders. The reflex could thus be used as an investigative tool...

... necessary to evoke micturition by 21–67% (mean 48%) in cats and 15–81% (mean 43%) in dogs, respectively. Microinjection of fentanyl (0.4–10 n M ) into the pontine micturition center (PMC) increased the bladder capacity by 4–46% (mean 18%) in cats. Naloxone injected into the same site reversed the effect...

...A. Cucchi; R. van Mastrigt The opening contraction energy (E op ), i.e. the energy expended by the detrusor in the opening phase of micturition, was measured in 70 males (mean age 63 ± 9 years) with bladder outflow obstruction (compressive obstruction) due to benign prostatic hypertrophy...

...Kamon Shimizu; Katsuyuki Nakai; Kyoichi Imai; Hidetoshi Yamanaka The effects of prazosin HCl treatment on several variables were determined in 16 patients suffering from micturition disturbances associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy. After administration of the drug in doses of 1–2 mg/day...

Once these concepts are understood, specific urodynamic abnormalities can be suggested from specific features of the patient’s history, physical...

..., an alternate function of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system in filling of the bladder and in micturition can no more be accepted. A new own concept of the mechanism, which is in action at the bladder neck closure, is demonstrated. This concept goes out from the existence of two systems...

... the functional roles of these two ascending pathways. The dorsal funiculus was transected at T10 in 5 decerebrate and 5 freely-moving cats, and micturition parameters were compared before and after transection. Transection of the dorsal funiculus did not affect any of the parameters of reflex micturition...
