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 ...

Pathogens and pharmaceuticals in source-separated urine in eThekwini, South Africa

Tamar Kohn, Linda Strande, Kai Udert, Christa McArdell

In eThekwini, South Africa, the production of agricultural fertilizers from human urine collected from urine-diverting dry toilets is being evaluated at a municipality scale as a way to help finance a decentralized, dry sanitation system. The present study ...

Use of an Implanted Sacral Nerve Stimulator to Restore Urine Voiding in Chronically Paraplegic Dogs

Stéphanie Lacour

Background Loss of urinary control after spinal cord injury increases risk of urinary tract disease and is problematical for owners of affected dogs. Objectives To design, implant, and test a sacral nerve stimulating device for controlling urine voiding in ...

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 ...

In-vivo performance of high-density collagen gel tubes for urethral regeneration in a rabbit model

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Lionel Ambroise Micol

Congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra can be treated using existing autologous tissue, but these procedures are sometimes associated with severe complications. Therefore, tissue engineering may be advantageous for generating urethral grafts. ...

Effects of carbonate on the electrolytic removal of ammonia and urea from urine with thermally prepared IrO2 electrodes

Christos Comninellis, Véronique Amstutz, Agnieszka Kapalka, Kai Udert

Recent studies have shown that electrolysis can be an efficient process for nitrogen removal from urine. These studies have been conducted with urea solutions or fresh urine, but urine collected in NoMix toilets and urinals has a substantially different co ...

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 ...

Conductance catheter-based assessment of arterial input impedance, arterial function, and ventricular-vascular interaction in mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers, Nico Westerhof

Global assessment of both cardiac and arterial function is important for a meaningful interpretation of pathophysiological changes in animal models of cardiovascular disease. We simultaneously acquired left ventricular (LV) and aortic pressure and LV volum ...
