Objective: Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is an established treatment for detrusor underactivity (DU) and nonobstructive urinary retention. The mechanism of action for SNM in DU, however, remains poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the urodynamic study (UDS) changes in DU patients during the trial period following first stage tined-lead placement (FSTLP).

Seawater electrolysis powered by renewable electricity provides an attractive strategy for producing green hydrogen. However, direct seawater electrolysis faces many challenges, primarily arising from corrosion and competing reactions at the anode caused by the abundance of halide ions (Cl, Br) in seawater. Previous studies on seawater electrolysis have mainly focused on the anode development, because the cathode operates at reducing potentials, which is not subject to electrode dissolution or chloride corrosion reactions during seawater electrolysis.

Case Presentation: A 41-year-old ex-smoker Asian female, managed with clean intermittent catheterization for 3 years due to neurogenic bladder caused by spinal cord disease, presented with gross hematuria at 10 weeks of gestation. The patient was diagnosed with muscle invasive bladder cancer, cT3aN0M0.

The ability to prevent bacterial adhesion on surfaces and to facilitate the removal of bacteria once they have already contaminated or colonized a surface is important in a broad range of fundamental and applied contexts. The work reported here sought to characterize the physicochemical properties of a family of biocide-free hydrophobic polyurethane coatings containing polysiloxane segments and evaluate their ability to mitigate bacterial fouling and/or facilitate subsequent surface cleaning after exposure to pathogenic bacteria. We developed benchtop microbiological assays to characterize surface fouling and subsequent removal of bacteria after repeated (i) short-term intermittent physical contact with and (ii) longer-term continuous flow-based contact with liquid growth media containing either or , two common Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, respectively.

Background: Environmental surveillance of infectious organisms holds tremendous promise to reduce human-to-human transmission in indoor spaces through early detection.
Objective: In this study we determined the applicability and limitations of wastewater, indoor high-touch surfaces, in-room air, and rooftop exhaust air sampling methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in a real world building occupied by residents recently diagnosed with COVID-19.
Methods: We concurrently examined the results of three 24-hour environmental surveillance techniques, indoor surface sampling, exhaust air sampling and wastewater surveillance, to the known daily census fluctuations in a COVID-19 isolation dormitory.
