X-ray Micro-Computed Tomography: A Powerful Device to Analyze the 3D Microstructure of Anode-Electrolyte in BaZrYO Protonic Ceramic Electrochemical Cells and the Reduction Behavior.

New advanced fuel cell technologies are moving towards high-temperature proton conductors (HTPCs) to meet environmental issues. Their elaboration remains a challenge and micro-computed tomography (µCT) is an innovative way to control their quality. NiO-BZY anodic supports of a protonic ceramic electrochemical cell (PCEC), elaborated by co-tape casting and co-sintered at 1350 °C, were coated with a BZY20 electrolyte layer by DC magnetron sputtering.

[How do patients manage their urostomy in everyday life? A questionnaire survey].

Introduction: The complications of stoma and peristomal are encountered by nearly 80% of patients within two years of surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the practical modalities of daily management of stoma and possible skin complications in a series of patients with non-continent urinary stoma.

Methods: Monocentric study by questionnaires including all patients with non-continent urinary stoma between 2007 and 2019 in a French university center.

Long-Term Outcomes of Distal Hypospadias Repair: A Patients' Point Of View.

Purpose: To assess the long-term outcomes of patients treated for distal hypospadias. Assessment of long-term follow-up for a homogeneous population with hypospadias is difficult and there has consequently been a paucity of publications in this regard.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review was carried out to compile cases of distal hypospadias operated at our center between 1990 and 1999 according to the MAGPI procedure.

Urine Contamination in Nontoilet-trained and Uncircumcised Boys.

Objective: To assess any differences between the initial and midstream urine samples from nontoilet-trained, uncircumcised boys. Contamination during urine collection makes the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTIs) difficult in nontoilet-trained children, especially in uncircumcised boys. Whether the contamination comes mainly from the initial stream or the contact between urine and perineal skin is not known in this population.
