Printing to Fight Antimicrobial Resistance Through Nano/Microstructured Platforms

The Chemical Record, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables the rational design of structured antimicrobial platforms across multiple length scales, from nanofibrous scaffolds and droplet microreactors to 3D and 4D printed constructs. By engineering confinement, interfacial chemistry, and stimuli‐responsive release, these systems exert localized action through complementary ...

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.

Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Ischemic Gangrene of the Glans following Penile Prosthesis Implantation

Case Reports in Urology, 2013
The development of ischemic gangrene of the penis following implantation of prosthesis is unusual, and very few cases are available in the literature. As a result, no established treatment protocol is available.

The Status of Biofilms in Penile Implants

Microorganisms, 2017
Erectile dysfunction is prevalent among men and will continue to become more so with the aging population. Of the available treatment options, implantable prosthetic devices are typically thought of as a third line treatment even though they have the highest satisfaction rate and continually improving success rates. Infection and mechanical failure are

Polyglycolic Acid Polymer Versus Porcine Small Intestine Submucosa Graft After Plaque Incision in Peyronie's Disease: A Comparative Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Peyronie's disease (PD) with severe penile curvature often requires surgical correction through plaque incision and grafting (PIG). Objectives To compare surgical outcomes between polyglycolic acid polymer grafts and porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) grafts in patients undergoing PIG for PD.

Shaeer’s Anti-Scarring Technique: A Preventive Measure Against Corporal Fibrosis Upon Explantation of Infected Penile Implants

Sexual Medicine, 2019
Introduction: In cases of explantation and delayed reimplantation of an infected penile prosthesis, the scarring that afflicts the corporal bodies renders reimplantation difficult and risky, with potential loss in penile size.

Comparative Outcomes of Early versus Delayed Penile Prosthesis Insertion in Patients With Ischaemic Priapism—Long‐Term Outcome Experience From a Single High‐volume Centre

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Ischaemic priapism (IP) is a urological emergency that can lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) if not treated promptly. This study aims to evaluate and compare clinical outcomes between early and delayed penile prosthesis insertion in patients with IP.

Shah′s Indian penile prosthesis placement after phallic reconstruction with radial forearm flap

Indian Journal of Urology, 2008
We report a successful implantation of Indian penile prosthesis after total phallic reconstruction. The differential stiffness of the Shah penile prosthesis is felt to have less potential for erosion, the most common complication of rigid prosthetic ...
