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

open access: yesNeurourology 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 ...

Continuous‐Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices in Biventricular Configuration: A Systematic Review and Comparative Meta‐Analysis of HeartMate 3 and HeartWare Biventricular Assist Devices

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
HeartWare‐BiVAD was associated with more frequent right ventricular cannulation, whereas HM3‐BiVAD demonstrated a trend toward improved survival despite a more severe preimplant clinical profile, suggesting a potential device‐related advantage of HM3 in biventricular support.

Predictors of visual acuity, intraocular pressure and pain in neovascular glaucoma

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To identify factors associated with best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pain in neovascular glaucoma (NVG). Methods The retrospective cohort included all patients diagnosed with NVG during 2008–2024 at Helsinki University Hospital, Finland. Linear mixed‐effects models used pre‐specified covariates,

Epidemiology and health burden of infective endocarditis: a comparative analysis of Australian vs global trends from 1990 to 2021

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon but life‐threatening disease with evolving patient risk profiles and management strategies. However, its impact on the Australian healthcare system has not been described. Aims To quantify the healthcare burden of IE in Australia over time in the past three decades and compare outcomes with

Frequent Premature Ventricular Complexes and Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Among 421 patients undergoing ablation of atrial fibrillation, frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) > 1% were present in a significant proportion of patients at baseline. The PVC burden did not increase significantly in the post‐AF ablation period and was not associated with a higher rate of recurrent AF.

Frailty and Five‐Year Mortality After TAVR in Patients Aged 75 Years and Older

open access: yesJournal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
In patients aged 75 years and older undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, frailty assessed by the Clinical Frailty Scale was the most robust geriatric factor independently associated with five‐year mortality. This study highlights the specific prognostic value of frailty beyond short‐term outcomes.

Influence of nanohydroxyapatite mouthwash on the growth of Candida albicans biofilm on milled denture surfaces: An in vitro study

open access: yesJournal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose There is a need for effective solutions for the persistent prevalence of denture stomatitis (DS) in denture‐wearing populations. This study assessed the impact of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) nanoparticles on Candida albicans biofilm formation on milled polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture bases.
