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 ...
2024An artificial urinary sphincter based on dielectric elastomer technology
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Stefania Maria Aliki Konstantinidi, Amine Benouhiba, Quentin Philippe Mario De Menech, Sloan Zammouri
Urinary incontinence (UI) is prevalent and distressing medical condition affecting millions of patients worldwide. Current treatment options for severe cases often involve surgical intervention, such as the implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter ( ...
Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)2024Decoding 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 ...
2023Identification of genes required for host-cell adhesion and antibiotic persistence of uropathogenic Escherichia coli via high-content screening
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are the most common bacterial pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Driven by the development of antibiotic resistant UPEC strains, UTIs have become a major public health issue and generate substantial hea ...
EPFL2022Microtissue models for studying the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions in the urinary bladder
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are amongst the most common bacterial infections and are the second-most frequent reason for antibiotic prescriptions. Moreover, in about 25% of all treated cases, recurrence of infection occurs. Uropathogenic Escherichia co ...
EPFL2021Computational pipeline to probe NaV1.7 gain-of-function variants in neuropathic painful syndromes
Stefano Zamuner, Margherita Marchi
Applications of machine learning and graph theory techniques to neuroscience have witnessed an increased interest in the last decade due to the large data availability and unprecedented technology developments. Their employment to investigate the effect of ...
NATURE RESEARCH2020Development 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 ...
2019Bladder Cancer Photodynamic Therapeutic Agent with Off-On Magnetic Resonance Imaging Enhancement
Acting as an extracellular matrix protein receptor, alpha(v)beta(3) integrin becomes an appealing target for photodynamic therapy of bladder cancer. Here, specific alpha(v)beta(3)-integrin-targeting porphyrinato-gadolinium complexes (Gd-PEG-R-n) are demons ...
WILEY2019Neuromodulation in the restoration of function after spinal cord injury
Neuromodulation, the use of electrical interfaces to alter neuronal activity, has been successful as a treatment approach in several neurological disorders, including deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease and epidural spinal stimulation for chroni ...
