Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Robot‐Assisted Peritoneal Flap Vaginoplasty Versus Penile Inversion Vaginoplasty for Gender Affirming Surgery

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Direct comparison of robot‐assisted peritoneal flap (PF) to penile inversion (PI) vaginoplasty for gender affirming surgery is absent. Objectives We sought to compare these two techniques to aid patient decision‐making. Materials and Methods A retrospective case–control study of patients who underwent primary PI (N = 40) or PF (N ...

Agreement between cardiac cycle time intervals and myocardial velocities measured by automated analysis of color tissue Doppler cine loops and by manual tracing of spectral pulsed‐wave tissue Doppler waveforms of sheep fetal heart under normal and pathological conditions: An experimental study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Automated cTDI in sheep fetuses provided reproducible measurements of myocardial velocities and heart rate that align well with manual pulsed‐wave TDI. For cardiac cycle duration metrics, the two modalities are not interchangeable. These findings support that automated cTDI is well suited for longitudinal assessment under both physiological and ...

An Experimental Approach on Pearl Shell (Pinctada margaritifera) for a Microwear Study of Shell Artefacts From French Polynesia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pinctada margaritifera (black‐lipped pearl oyster) artefacts are ubiquitous in the archaeological record throughout the Pacific and particularly in Polynesia. Despite efforts towards the development of typologies, the lack of microwear and use‐wear studies has prevented the development of technological approaches. We used 20 pearl shell valves

Out with the old, in with the new? A retrospective comparison of malleable erectile implants in phalloplasty

BJU International, EarlyView.
Objective To compare the long‐term outcomes of the two main types of malleable erectile implants after phalloplasty in transgender men: models originally designed for cisgender men (conventional models) or the more recently developed Zephyr Surgical Implants (Geneva, Switzerland) female‐to‐male 100 implant (ZSI FtM 100) specifically for phalloplasty ...

Conventional surgical techniques and emerging transplantation in complex penile reconstruction

, 2020
Complex penile reconstruction continues to pose a significant challenge to surgeons and patients alike. The ideal phalloplasty is one that can be reproducibly performed in a single stage, creates a neourethra that allows for voiding while standing ...
