A stable bio‐based nanocomposite coating for urinary catheters is developed using a simple, environmentally‐friendly sonochemical process. The coating, integrating antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and antioxidant properties, effectively tackled multiple early‐stage pathogenic factors associated with catheter‐associated urinary tract infections.

A multivariate Bayesian learning approach for improved detection of doping in athletes using urinary steroid profiles [PDF]
Biomarker analysis of athletes' urinary steroid profiles is crucial for the success of anti-doping efforts. Current statistical analysis methods generate personalised limits for each athlete based on univariate modelling of longitudinal biomarker values from the urinary steroid profile.

Exploit fully automatic low-level segmented PET data for training high-level deep learning algorithms for the corresponding CT data [PDF]
We present an approach for fully automatic urinary bladder segmentation in CT images with artificial neural networks in this study. Automatic medical image analysis has become an invaluable tool in the different treatment stages of diseases. Especially medical image segmentation plays a vital role, since segmentation is often the initial step in an ...

A Bistable Assistive Device for Wireless Control of a Dysfunctional Bladder Under Minimal Stress
This paper presents a wireless system designed to restore bladder function in patients with an underactive bladder (UAB). The system features a multilayered structure, combining a pre‐shaped restoration layer with a spring‐based actuator. The system delivers 95–100% voiding efficiency within a 10‐s activation while ensuring minimal stress on the ...

A Clinical and Finite Elements Study of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women Using Fluid-Structure Interactions [PDF]
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) or urine leakage from urethra occurs due to an increase in abdominal pressure resulting from stress like a cough or jumping height. SUI is more frequent among post-menopausal women. In the absence of bladder contraction, vesical pressure exceeds from urethral pressure leading to urine leakage. Despite a large number of
