Description
The pediatric bladder can be influenced by various poorly understood factors, despite ongoing efforts by international organizations, such as the International Children's Continence Society (ICCS), to standardize definitions and interventions.
This project aims to:
1. Investigate Bladder Development: Explore the developmental processes of the bladder that may lead to functional pathologies.
2. Evaluate Novel Diagnostic Approaches: Assess current innovative methods for bladder diagnostics to enhance accuracy and patient comfort.
3. Examine Neuropharmacology and Therapeutics: Review the neuropharmacological mechanisms of the bladder and evaluate emerging therapeutic options.
Through this research, we seek to deepen our understanding of pediatric bladder health and improve diagnostic and treatment strategies.
