Acute radiation impacts contractility of guinea-pig bladder strips affecting mucosal-detrusor interactions.
Radiation-induced bladder toxicity is associated with radiation therapy for pelvic malignancies, arising from unavoidable irradiation of neighbouring normal bladder tissue. This study aimed to investigate the acute impact of ionizing radiation on the contractility of bladder strips and identify the...
