Joule‐Assisted Nanotherapeutic Urethral Stent (JANUS) for Spatiotemporal Theragenerative Treatment of Urethral Strictures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Joule‐assisted nanotherapeutic urethral stent harnesses a smart, biodegradable magnesium stent to orchestrate spatiotemporal theragenerative therapy for urethral strictures. Magnetically induced Joule heating enables on‐demand drug release and bacterial ablation, while simultaneously guiding urothelial regeneration.

A New Automated Ultrasound Quantification of Urethral Mobility for Stress Urinary Incontinence

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a prevalent condition that can significantly affect quality of life. Urethral mobility is an important factor in SUI and transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) imaging can provide clear visualization of this movement; however, its quantification has been limited.
