Fascial Mild Urethral Sling or Artificial Urinary Sphincter in the Neurological Women Population, a Multicenter Study

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Achieving continence in patients with neurogenic bladder is a difficult goal especially when stress urinary incontinence (SUI) due to intrinsic sphincter deficiency is involved. Two techniques are commonly used in that setting, but they have never been directly compared: the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) and the fascial ...

New and Emerging Artificial Urinary Sphincters for Male Stress Urinary Incontinence: From Gold Standard to Next Generation

Neurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction For more than four decades, the AMS‐800 has remained the clinical benchmark device for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Although it remains the gold standard for male SUI, the AMS‐800 has continued to have limitations such as suboptimal post‐operative continence rates, fixed hydraulic pressure, need for ...

Deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and improved YOLOv9 for efficient benthos detection: a case study at Lake Hamana, Japan

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a UAV‐based framework that integrates deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and an enhanced YOLO detector to improve centimetre‐scale benthic organism monitoring. Using hermit crabs in Lake Hamana, a coastal lagoon in Japan, as a case study, the method substantially enhanced small‐object detection performance ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Competition Policy and Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty): The Role of Mergers and Acquisitions Adjudications in South Africa

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT South Africa faces persistently high poverty and inequality alongside a highly concentrated economic structure, raising questions about whether merger control, especially public‐interest provisions, can contribute to poverty reduction. However, empirical evidence directly linking merger adjudication outcomes to poverty remains limited.

Blockchain and Food Trust: Will Consumers Pay More?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blockchain is increasingly used in agri‐food supply chains to make products more transparent and trustworthy. Yet, in countries like Italy, where certifications such as PDO, PGI, and organic labels already shape consumer confidence, its added value is still unclear.
