Histological Analysis of Cryopreserved Venous Allografts Used for Liver Transplantation and Hepato‐Biliary‐Pancreatic Surgery

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cryopreserved venous allografts, which we pioneered in 1999 for use in living donor liver transplantation and hepato‐biliary‐pancreatic surgery, are widely used and are believed to preserve vascular architecture with minimal anticoagulation or immunosuppression requirements and patency comparable to autologous grafts.

New and Emerging Artificial Urinary Sphincters for Male Stress Urinary Incontinence: From Gold Standard to Next Generation

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction For more than four decades, the AMS‐800 has remained the clinical benchmark device for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Although it remains the gold standard for male SUI, the AMS‐800 has continued to have limitations such as suboptimal post‐operative continence rates, fixed hydraulic pressure, need for ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
