Bacteria inactivation during the drying of struvite fertilizers produced from stored urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Kai Udert

Human urine can be processed into market-attractive fertilizers like struvite; however, concerns regarding the microbial safety of such products remain. The present study evaluated the inactivation of in situ heterotrophs, total bacteria as observed by flo ...

Concurrent recordings of bladder afferents from multiple nerves using a microfabricated PDMS microchannel electrode array

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Rusev Minev

In this paper we present a compliant neural interface designed to record bladder afferent activity. We developed the implant's microfabrication process using multiple layers of silicone rubber and thin metal so that a gold microelectrode array is embedded ...

Investigation of the Electrochemical Destruction of X-ray Contrast Media using Boron-‐Doped Diamond Electrodes (BDD)

Guillaume Tissot

Iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) are persistent micropollutants in wastewater, which come mainly from hospital activities. Currently, there is no efficient method of treatment for this class of compounds, which leads to their increased presence in surf ...

Hydrogels for Urinary Tract Tissue Engineering

Lionel Ambroise Micol

Several urinary tract disorders, such as hypospadias or bladder cancer, require reconstructive surgery to preserve the patient's quality of life and at times even save their life. The current available surgical treatments, involving grafts from other tissu ...
