Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of short-term androgen deficiency on bladder contractility and urothelial mediator release.
Giselle Bravo,Helen Maureen Massa,Roselyn Barbara Rose'Meyer,Russ Chess-Williams,Catherine McDermott,Donna J Sellers +5 more
TL;DR: Changes in mediator release may be an early effect of the decline in testosterone and could affect sensory pathways in the longer term, contributing to the urinary symptoms and bladder dysfunction seen in androgen-deficient men.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anxiolytic sertraline reduces the impact of psychological stress on bladder function in mice.
TL;DR: In this article, Sertraline was used to treat the bladder dysfunction caused by water avoidance stress in mice, and a blood sample was taken to measure plasma corticosterone levels and bladders were removed, catheterised and intravesical pressure responses recorded during distension and in response to pharmacological agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
The COX-2 inhibitor NS398 selectively sensitizes hypoxic HeLa cells to ionising radiation by mechanisms both dependent and independent of COX-2.
Shailendra Anoopkumar-Dukie,T. Conere,Aileen Houston,Liam King,David R. H. Christie,Catherine McDermott,Ashley Allshire +6 more
TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine the impact of COX-2 selective inhibitors on both normoxic and hypoxic radiosensitivity in vitro and the mechanisms underlying this and to investigate their contribution to radioresistance.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The evaluation of educational benefits of online learning tools on student performance in a major assessment item across two higher education institutions in australia
Abdullah Karaksha,Russ Chess-Williams,Candice Holani,Andrew K. Davey,Shailendra Anoopkumar-Dukie,Gary Grant,Anthony V. Perkins,Niru S. Nirthanan,Catherine McDermott +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a retrospective qualitative and quantitative study was conducted to evaluate the impact of adding e-tools, as supplements to the pharmacology curriculums in 2012, on student learning across two Australian universities; Griffith and Bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated release of inflammatory but not sensory mediators from the urothelium is maintained following epirubicin treatment.
TL;DR: Epirubicin treatment induces several transient changes in urothelial function, however, the increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8) is sustained and these mediators may be involved in the pathophysiology of bladder toxicity following intravesical epirubic in treatment.
