Role of testicular fine‐needle aspiration in the modern male reproductive urologist′s practice

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Azoospermia affects 10%–15% of infertile men, with non‐obstructive azoospermia (NOA) most often managed by microdissection testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). Despite AUA/ASRM guidelines recommending mTESE, some urologists employ testicular fine‐needle aspiration (TFNA) mapping as a diagnostic adjunct.

Under‐documentation of social determinants of health in kidney stone patients in high‐risk region

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Social determinants or drivers of health (SDoH) provide a broad perspective of influences on patient health. An association between poorer SDoH and worse outcomes for kidney stone disease exists. Many electronic health records (EHR) contain an intake feature to record SDoH data; however, no data exist on the use of this feature ...

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.

The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.
