Magneto-agglutination biosensor system for rapid detection of bacteria causing urinary tract infections Open
Globally, urinary tract infection (UTI) is very common and a primary reason for antibiotic prescribing. Currently, standard testing procedures involving laboratory culture of samples are slow and often patients are treated on symptoms alon…

How to clean a catheter: Development of an intervention for intermittent catheter reuse Open
Background and Objectives Much intermittent catheterisation (IC) is carried out using single‐use catheters. Waste and costs could be reduced by cleaning and reusing catheters, but is it safe to do so? To answer these questions of safety an…

Development and first-in-human testing of FLUME urinary catheter with protected tip and relocated drainage holes Open
This article describes a new catheter design which aims to improve patient comfort and safety, and maximise bladder drainage, by protecting the bladder from the exposed catheter tip and by locating the drainage holes better. Various tests …

An effective evidence‐based cleaning method for the safe reuse of intermittent urinary catheters: In vitro testing Open
Aims To determine a safe bactericidal cleaning method that does not damage urethral catheters used for intermittent catheterization. In some countries, single‐use catheters are the norm; in others, the reuse of catheters is common dependin…

Peer Review #2 of "Moderation effects of food intake on the relationship between urinary microbiota and urinary interleukin-8 in female type 2 diabetic patients (v0.1)" Open
Background.Our previous study demonstrated that the composition of the urinary microbiota in female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was correlated with the concentration of urinary interleukin (IL)-8.As the composition of uri…

Continuous low-dose antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent urinary tract infection in adults who perform clean intermittent self-catheterisation: the AnTIC RCT Open
Background People carrying out clean intermittent self-catheterisation (CISC) to empty their bladder often suffer repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Continuous once-daily, low-dose antibiotic treatment (antibiotic prophylaxis) is co…
