Long-Term Management and Monitoring of the Bladder After Spinal Cord Injury in a Rodent Model by Michael Kleindorfer, Elena Esra Keller, Karin Roider, Evelyn Beyerer, Patrick Heimel, David Hercher, Martha Georgina Brandtner, Lukas Lusuardi, Ludwig Aigner, Sophina Bauer

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study that obtained a clinically relevant urodynamic dataset seamlessly from the acute to the chronic phase in rats with SCI. The ability to generate a complete data set from one single individual, rather than requiring multiple subjects, has the potential to markedly reduce the number of experimental animals, eliminate group differences, and give more flexibility for therapeutic intervention. …”
