AI Article Synopsis
- A variety of foreign bodies can be found in the lower urinary tract, often self-inserted for masturbation purposes, presenting diagnostic and management challenges.
- A unique case of a magnetic foreign body inserted into the bladder for autoerotism highlights the need for careful diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Management typically requires minimally invasive techniques and skilled surgical intervention to ensure quick recovery and reduce complications.
Article Abstract
Introduction: A great variety of foreign bodies in the lower urinary tract have been described; many of them are self-inflicted by the patient with masturbatory purposes. Depending on the nature of the foreign body the diagnostic and management might be challenging.
Aims: We report a case of an unusual magnetic self-inserted foreign body into the bladder for autoerotism and briefly discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic implications in this challenging situation.
Methods: We describe all the steps we have used to adequately diagnose the problem, describe the foreign body and treatments for the patient. Related articles were found by utilizing the PubMed database and are summarized in this study.
Results: The management approach must be planned according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimize bladder and urethral trauma. However, most of cases can be managed endoscopically.
Conclusion: Removal of magnetic foreign body may be quite challenging, requiring high-level surgical skills and minimally invasive techniques resulting in fast recovery and low complication rate.

Effects of Chemical Pretreatments of Wood Cellulose Nanofibrils on Protein Adsorption and Biological Outcomes.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
January 2025
Center of Translational Oral Research (TOR), Department of Clinical Dentistry, University of Bergen, Bergen 5009, Norway.
Wood-based nanocellulose is emerging as a promising nanomaterial in the field of tissue engineering due to its unique properties and versatile applications. Previously, we used TEMPO-mediated oxidation (TO) and carboxymethylation (CM) as chemical pretreatments prior to mechanical fibrillation of wood-based cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) to produce scaffolds with different surface chemistries. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of these chemical pretreatments on serum protein adsorption on 2D and 3D configurations of TO-CNF and CM-CNF and then to investigate their effects on cell adhesion, spreading, inflammatory mediator production , and the development of foreign body reaction (FBR) .

The effects of heritage multilingualism on foreign language learning: a comparison of children with typical language development and developmental language disorder.
Front Psychol
January 2025
Institute for Language Sciences, Utrecht University, Utrecht, Netherlands.
Introduction: Both multilingualism and developmental language disorder (DLD) may be associated with inferior performance in the majority language, albeit for different reasons. At the same time, there is a growing body of evidence that multilingualism may have a positive effect on foreign language performance. This study tests the hypothesis that the positive effects of multilingualism on foreign language learning may be smaller in children with DLD compared to their multilingual peers with typical language development.
