Machine-Learning-Enhanced Soft Robotic System Inspired by Rectal Functions for Investigating Fecal incontinence [PDF]
Fecal incontinence, arising from a myriad of pathogenic mechanisms, has attracted considerable global attention. Despite its significance, the replication of the defecatory system for studying fecal incontinence mechanisms remains limited largely due to social stigma and taboos. Inspired by the rectum's functionalities, we have developed a soft robotic

Normal Anal Sensibility in Patients Born With Anorectal Malformations
Normal anal sensibility can be present in ARM patients diagnosed with all types of ARM after they have been treated with corrective surgery. Anal sensibility was better in those with a functional IAS. This means that the IAS, present in the distal end of the fistula, should be spared as much as possible to preserve anal sensibility. In this way, aiming

Urethral stents usually provide initial, dramatic relief from obstructive voiding symptoms. However, complications such as recurrent urinary tract infections, stent migration, encrustation and recurrent urethral strictures are not rare, and stents should

Functional MRI Analysis of Brain Activity in Rats With Diabetic Bladder Dysfunction
Using cystometry combined with 9.4‐Tesla fMRI evaluations, this study uncovered significant alterations in brain activity in diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) rats. Specifically, a reduction in ALFF was observed in the basal forebrain and cortex, while heightened activation was detected in the thalamus, periaqueductal gray, and primary motor cortex ...

Single incision artificial urethral sphincter
We demonstrate a technique for artificial urinary sphincter placement using a single perineal incision. This incision allows for good exposure of the urethra, allowing for more proximal placement as needed.
