Valve metal oxide nanostructures such as TiO2, Ta2O5, Nb2O5, ZrO2, and HfO2 are emerging as versatile biomedical platforms due to their tunable surface properties, exceptional stability, and inherent biocompatibility. This review highlights their synthesis, physicochemical properties, and biological interactions, addressing their roles in advanced ...

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

Effectiveness of dabigatran etexilate for thromboprophylaxis of mechanical heart valves
ObjectiveWarfarin reduces risk of stroke in patients with mechanical heart valves but increases risk of hemorrhage and is difficult to use. Dabigatran etexilate, a new oral direct thrombin inhibitor, is safe and effective in reducing risk of stroke among

Non infective severe aortic paravalvular leakage 7 years after surgery: the role of suture technique
We report a case of redo aortic prosthesis replacement for a severe paravalvular leak (PVL) in a man operated with continuous suture technique 7 years earlier. The severe aortic regurgitation was due to the rupture of the suture.

Abstract Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) significantly impacts quality of life. For patients unresponsive to conservative treatments, penile prosthesis implantation represents an effective solution with high satisfaction rates. However, the complexity and sensitive nature of the procedure often generate multiple patient concerns.
