Journal ArticleDOI
Intraurethral muscle-derived cell injections increase leak point pressure in a rat model of intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
Christopher Chermansky,Tatum Tarin,Dong Duek Kwon,Ronald Jankowski,Tracy W. Cannon,William C. de Groat,Johnny Huard,Michael B. Chancellor +7 more
TL;DR: The injection of intraurethral MDCs improved sphincter function in rats with ISD and may provide an attractive alternative to current treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-Year Outcomes of Sacral Neuromodulation Versus OnabotulinumtoxinA for Refractory Urgency Urinary Incontinence: A Randomized Trial.
Cindy L. Amundsen,Yuko M. Komesu,Christopher Chermansky,W. Thomas Gregory,Deborah L. Myers,Emily Faley Honeycutt,Sandip P. Vasavada,John N. Nguyen,Tracey Wilson,Heidi S. Harvie,Dennis Wallace +10 more
TL;DR: A large group of US women with severe urgency urinary incontinence who received sacral neuromodulation or onabotulinumtoxinA (Botox A) therapy during a 2-yr period found that both therapies had similar success in reducing UUI symptoms, and adverse events were low.
Journal ArticleDOI
A model of intrinsic sphincteric deficiency in the rat: electrocauterization.
Christopher Chermansky,Tracy W. Cannon,Kazumasa Torimoto,Matthew O. Fraser,Naoki Yoshimura,William C. de Groat,Michael B. Chancellor +6 more
TL;DR: The objective was to produce a durable model of ISD in the rat to show that a malfunction of the distal urethral sphincter in a rat is not a cause for concern.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pradeep Tyagi,Phillip P. Smith,George A. Kuchel,William C. de Groat,Lori A. Birder,Christopher Chermansky,Rosalyn M. Adam,Rosalyn M. Adam,Vincent Tse,Michael B. Chancellor,Naoki Yoshimura +10 more
TL;DR: Current state of the art in the understanding of the pathophysiology of and animal models used to study the UAB are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Bladder Acellular Matrix Graft in a Rat Chemical Cystitis Model: Functional and Histologic Evaluation
Selahittin Çayan,Christopher Chermansky,N. Schlote,Noritoshi Sekido,Lora Nunes,Rajvir Dahiya,Emil A. Tanagho +6 more
TL;DR: In this rat chemical cystitis model bladder augmentation with a bladder acellular matrix graft led to functional and histological improvement over diseased host bladder.
