A Giant Urethral Calculus

open access: yesJournal of Nepal Medical Association, 2014
Urethral calculi are rare forms of urolithiasis. Majority of the calculi are migratory from urinary bladder or upper urinary tract. Primary urethral calculi usually occur in presence of urethral stricture or diverticulum. In this article we report a case

Smart Nanogels as Enzyme‐Driven Nanomotors for Navigating Viscous Physiological Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Two families of urease‐powered nanomotors (NMs), with and without a p‐(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (p‐HEMA) shell, have been successfully prepared. Both types exhibit effective motion in highly viscous synovial fluid media at low urea concentrations (25 mM).

High Dynamic Range Thin‐Film Resistive Flow Sensors for Monitoring Diverse Biofluids

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thin‐film resistive flow sensors with thermoresistive and piezoresistive mechanisms are developed for biofluid monitoring. Fabricated using biocompatible materials and laser micromachining, the devices achieve sub‐millimeter dimensions and a broad dynamic range.

Bladder Calculus Causing Large Bowel Obstruction

open access: yesThe Annals of African Surgery, 2019
Urinary tract calculi are fairly common, though bladder calculi are less common, accounting for only 5% of urinary tract calculi. Bladder calculi, particularly large bladder calculi, are usually associated with pathology in the urinary tract.

Catalytic TiO2 with Self‐Assembled Monolayer for Highly Sensitive, Selective, and Non‐Invasive Monitoring of Sweat L‐Cysteine

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐assembled monolayer of 3‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) molecular receptor and titanium oxide‐modified carbon cloth (MPTS/TiO2/CC) was synthesized for the specific detection of sweat L‐cysteine, which is associated with the precision neutrition, cardiovascular system and neuro system.

Case report: Bladder calculi presenting as urinary incontinence mimicking obstetric urinary fistula

open access: yesSouth Sudan Medical Journal, 2020
The presence of calculi in the urinary tract is usually a silent morbidity, which may present as an incidental finding on evaluation of the genitourinary or renal tract for other pathologies.

At‐Home Early Diagnosis of Mastitis: Calibration‐Free Analysis of Sodium to Potassium Ratio in Breast Milk

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAMAWEL is introduced as the first calibration‐free potentiometric sensor for at‐home mastitis diagnosis. By measuring the sodium‐to‐potassium ratio in breast milk, the device reliably differentiates between healthy and mastitis‐affected samples with less than 10% error.

Novel Bioconjugate Materials: Synthesis, Characterization and Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review discusses the bioconjugation of novel materials grouped under “biological”, “hybrid” and “synthetic” categories. Medical applications ranging from cancer therapy and diagnostics to optogenetics and tissue engineering are explored, and conjugation trends are highlighted as a general guide. The review concludes with a comparison of techniques

Microphysiological Systems for Comorbidity Studies: Chronic Kidney Disease and Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights the potential of organ‐on‐a‐chip systems for studying comorbidities, using chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoarthritis (OA) as examples. It summarizes recent advances in kidney‐on‐a‐chip and joint‐on‐a‐chip models and discusses their current and potential application in investigating CKD, OA, and CKD‐OA comorbidity, aiming to
