Design and Prototype an artificial urethra

The human urethra is a complex tubular organ that allows to empty urine from the urinary bladder. Due to its hyperelastic properties and heterogeneous composition, the design of an artificial urethra (AU) is a real engineering challenge. Within the Center ...

Dynamic functional hippocampal markers of residual depressive symptoms in euthymic bipolar disorder

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Julian Gaviria

Objectives: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe, chronic, affective disorder characterized by recurrent switching between mood states, psychomotor and cognitive symptoms, which can linger in euthymic states as residual symptoms. Hippocampal alterations may p ...

Dynamic persistence of UPEC intracellular bacterial communities in a human bladder-chip model of urinary tract infection

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Vivek Vijay Thacker, François Signorino-Gelo, Kunal Sharma, Thomas Marie Simonet

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) proliferate within superficial bladder umbrella cells to form intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) during early stages of urinary tract infections. However, the dynamic responses of IBCs to host stresses and anti ...

Microtissue models for studying the dynamics of host-pathogen interactions in the urinary bladder

Kunal Sharma

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 ...

Current treatments for underactive bladder (UAB) have negative side effects, such as urinary tract infections, mainly because devices used for bladder emptying are in direct contact with urine (e.g. permanent or intermittent catheterisation). Moreover, mos ...

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 ...

3D laser shock peening as a way to improve geometrical accuracy in selective laser melting

Roland Logé, Nikola Kalentics, Andreas Burn, Michael Cloots

One of the major drawbacks of selective laser melting (SLM) is the accumulation of tensile residual stresses (TRS) in the surface and subsurface zones of produced parts which can lead to cracking, delamination, geometrical distortions, and a decrease in fa ...

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 ...

Towards sustainable sanitation: Identifying and mitigating microbial health risks in the production of urine-derived fertilizers

Tamar Kohn, Simon Schindelholz, Timothy R. Julian

Sanitation systems that systematically recover and reuse waste can promote social enterprise, reduce discharge of harmful nutrients, pathogens and other contaminants to the environment, replace synthetic fertilizer sources, and increase access to sanitatio ...

Mechanisms and modeling of pathogen fate in pilot scale nutrient recovery reactors

Loïc Decrey, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger, Ariane Schertenleib, Timothy R. Julian

Due to its high nutrient content, source-separated urine can be processed into marketable liquid or solid fertilizers. The Valorisation of Urine Nutrients in Africa (VUNA) project developed and tested pilot-scale nitrification/distillation and struvite (Mg ...
