Introduction: There is an unmet need to offer a proper urinary straining device for patients in whom spontaneous expulsion of stones is expected. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacity, duration and ease of use of a new filtration device: the Pi-Box®.
Material And Methods: This was a single-institution, non-randomized open-label study.

Article Synopsis
- Thermal ablation of localized prostate tumors using ultrasound-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (USgHIFU) faces challenges, which may be improved by integrating advanced imaging and therapy techniques.
- Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) offer advantages like miniaturization and higher efficiency compared to traditional piezoelectric transducers, leading to the development of a dual-mode USgHIFU probe for prostate cancer treatment.
- The feasibility of this CMUT-based probe was demonstrated through successful thermal ablation experiments on porcine liver tissue, showing it can effectively target localized tumors while enabling enhanced treatment techniques like dynamic focusing and probe movement.
Purpose: To assess the efficacy and safety of intradetrusor botulinum toxin type A injections (IBTI) for idiopathic overactive bladder (iOAB) in non-neurological adults with an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS).
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively selected, in the 11 French centers, members of a collaborative network (GENULF (Groupe d'étude de neuro-urologie de langue francaise)), the patients who had had an artificial urinary sphincter implantation and who had subsequently developed iOAB requiring IBTI. This study was approved by the French association of urology ethics committee (no 2018012).
