Umbilical Cord Blood–Derived Extracellular Vesicles Enhance Neurovascular Regeneration and Improve Erectile Function in a Mouse Model of Bilateral Cavernous Nerve Injury

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) secondary to cavernous nerve injury (CNI), such as that occurring after radical prostatectomy, remains a significant clinical challenge, particularly among patients who do not respond to phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i).

Rutaecarpine Improves Hyperlipidemia‐Related Erectile Dysfunction in Rats by Inhibiting Macrophage M1 Polarization‐Induced Corpus Cavernosum Fibrosis

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hyperlipidemia‐related erectile dysfunction (HLED) responds poorly to first‐line treatments such as phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is), emphasizing the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Rutaecarpine (RUT), a bioactive alkaloid, exhibits significant anti‐inflammatory and anti‐fibrotic effects.

Heart‐Rate Variability and Its Role in Non‐Cardiac Surgery Perioperative Care: Scoping Review

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Heart rate variability (HRV) is a non‐invasive method of assessing autonomic function. Those with autonomic dysfunction may be at heightened risk of peri‐operative complications due to sympatho‐parasympathetic imbalance. This review summarises the clinical applications of HRV, approaches to how it is measured, and its role in ...

Effect of pain management, supervised exercise, and pelvic floor muscle training on sexual function in women with endometriosis: A randomized controlled trial

open access: yesActa Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
A multimodal intervention including supervised exercise, pelvic floor muscle training, and pain management was associated with modest short‐term improvements in sexual function among women with endometriosis. Findings should be interpreted cautiously due to differences in sexual activity status between groups.
