Periodontitis in patients with severe erectile dysfunction undergoing penile prosthesis implantation: Clinical and immunohistochemical study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The relationship between periodontitis and erectile dysfunction (ED) has been poorly documented in Caucasian populations, particularly severe ED (SED) requiring penile prostheses. This study aimed to evaluate the association between periodontitis and SED in patients undergoing penile prosthesis implantation, and to identify clinical

Efficacy of omega‐3 fatty acids as a functional food: a multifaceted approach to health reinforcement

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3s) are polyunsaturated fatty acids linked with numerous health benefits. Omega‐3s exhibit multifaceted activities through various mechanisms. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alleviates oxidative stress by lowering reactive oxygen species and improving oxidative stress in brain tissues and acts against neurodegenerative ...

Cardiac disease in systemic sclerosis: Integrating pathobiology with clinical management

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disorder in which cardiovascular involvement remains a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac injury in SSc results from the interplay of microvascular dysfunction, immune‐mediated inflammation, and progressive interstitial and replacement fibrosis, leading to myocardial disease ...

Erectile and ejaculatory outcomes after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate: A comprehensive narrative review

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) has emerged as a widely adopted surgical technique for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), regardless of prostate size; however, its impact on male sexual function—particularly in terms of erectile and ejaculatory outcomes—remains a subject of ongoing debate.

Familial Micronodular Adrenocortical Disease, Cushing Syndrome, and Mutations of the Gene Encoding Phosphodiesterase 11A4 ( PDE11A) [PDF]

, 2014
We present the pathologic findings in the adrenal glands of 4 patients, aged 10 to 38 years, with Cushing syndrome and germline inactivating mutations of the gene PDE11A4 that encodes phosphodiesterase11A4. The gene is expressed in the adrenal cortex and

Slow Transit Constipation: Pathophysiological Perspectives and Management Updates

Journal of Digestive Diseases, EarlyView.
Slow transit constipation (STC) is a complex neuromuscular disorder driven by interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) loss and enteric neuropathy. Diagnosis relies on objective transit testing while excluding pelvic floor dysfunction. Management follows a stepwise, phenotype‐driven approach, progressing from conventional laxatives to emerging targeted ...

The Molecular Organization of Human cGMP Specific Phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6): Structural Implications of Somatic Mutations in Cancer and Retinitis Pigmentosa

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019
In the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway, phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) maintains a critical balance of the intracellular concentration of cGMP by catalyzing it to 5′ guanosine monophosphate (5′-GMP).
