The purulent retention of the upper urinary tract is fortunately a rare urologic complication for the pregnant women. It decompensates a congenital or acquired uropathy. It is an important urologic emergency in which the diagnosis of obstruction, and the drainage of urines must be of immediate necessity as important as antibiotherapy, to avoid pyonephrosis and the destruction of the kidney. Concerning 3 cases, treated in the stage of pyonephrosis in the department of urology in Susa, we emphasize a premature diagnosis, which can only be done through an ultrasonography, the only guarantee to preserve the kidney. When possible, percutaneous nephrostomy constitutes an excellent means of drainage, while expecting a final disappearance of the obstruction.

The development of targeted drug delivery systems for active pharmaceutical ingredients with narrow absorption windows is crucial for improving their bioavailability. This study proposes a novel 3D-printed expandable drug delivery system designed to precisely administer drugs to the upper small intestine, where absorption is most efficient. The aim was to design, prototype, and evaluate the system's functionality for organ retention and targeted drug release.

Controlling runoff pollution is crucial to improving ecological environments in the context of urbanization and climate change. However, a significant research gap remains in the treatment and reuse of roof runoff, particularly during the first flush. To address this, a novel dry-wet polymorphic constructed wetland (DWP-CW) system was developed to purify first flush runoff efficiently and reliably.
