System for micturition control in a mammal with bladder disfunction

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Jordan Squair

The present invention relates to a neuromodulation/neurostimulation system (10) for stimulating at least one neuronal circuitry responsible for micturition control in a mammal with bladder disfunction, especially for bladder relaxation and/or for bladder v ...

Decoding bladder state from pudendal intraneural signals in pigs

Silvestro Micera, Stéphanie Lacour, Leonardo Pollina, Ivo Strauss, Valentina Marie Paggi

Neuroprosthetic devices used for the treatment of lower urinary tract dysfunction, such as incontinence or urinary retention, apply a pre-set continuous, open-loop stimulation paradigm, which can cause voiding dysfunctions due to neural adaptation. In the ...

A digital bridge between brain and spinal cord restores walking after paralysis

Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch

Spinal-cord injury interrupts communication between the brain and spinal cord, leading to paralysis. An implant that decodes the brain signals that control movements and drives electrical stimulation of the spinal cord re-establishes this communication, en ...

Associations between urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress and biomarkers of tobacco smoke exposure in smokers

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Nicolas Sambiagio

Oxidative stress can contribute to the development of diseases, and may originate from exposures to toxicants commonly found in air pollution and cigarette smoke such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Yet, as ...

Impedance pumping as a non-invasive treatment for underactive bladder? An ex-vivo proof-of-concept-study in porcine bladders.

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Francesco Clavica

In patients suffering from underactive bladder (UAB), the contraction of the detrusor muscle has insufficient strength or duration to ensure efficient bladder emptying. Although catheterisation is currently the most effective method to empty the bladder, i ...

Development of a biologically inspired in-vitro platform for long-term assessment of commercial and innovative ureteral stents

Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Francesco Clavica

Ureteral stents are small flexible tubes which are clinically used to restore the urine drainage in presence of obstructions of the ureteral lumen such as tumours, kidney/ureteral stones. The lifetime risk of developing urinary stones is about 20% in men a ...

Health risks for sanitation service workers along a container-based urine collection system and resource recovery value chain

Tamar Kohn, Simon Schindelholz, Timothy R. Julian

Container-based sanitation (CBS) within a comprehensive service system value chain offers a low-cost sanitation option with potential for revenue generation, but may increase microbial health risks to sanitation service workers. This study assessed occupat ...

Are Pre-ascent Low-Altitude Saliva Cortisol Levels Related to the Subsequent Acute Mountain Sickness Score? Observations from a Field Study

Johannes Burtscher

Background: The associations among cortisol levels, body water status, and acute mountain sickness (AMS) remain unclear. We investigated associations between AMS prevalence and severity with resting saliva cortisol levels at low altitude (LA) and high alti ...
