Mapping the lineage of prostate tissue ablation medical device predicates for focal therapy of prostate cancer approved via the FDA 510(k) clearance pathway

Surgical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Medical devices are reviewed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for safety and effectiveness. Class II devices can receive 510(k) clearance if they are “substantially equivalent” to an existing predicate device. This process can be repeated iteratively, leading to a lineage of predicates for newly cleared devices.

Serum sex steroids, gonadotrophins and sex hormone-binding globulin in prostatic hyperplasia

Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2008
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) develops in elderly males when serum androgens are relatively lower than in healthy younger males, but it is not well understood whether and how sex steroids are altered in prostatic hyperplasia. It is also

Association Between FTO rs1558902 Polymorphism, Age‐Related Hypogonadism, and Central Obesity in Japanese Men

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Obesity and low testosterone levels are closely interconnected, with the FTO gene being the most robust genetic determinant of body mass index (BMI). However, whether this primary genetic driver of obesity directly influences the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐testicular (HPT) axis remains unclear.

An intracellular recombinant single‐chain variable antibody fragment as a new class of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger involved in human (patho‐)physiology. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a major cGMP hydrolyzing enzyme in many cell types including vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Several highly selective PDE5 inhibitors are in clinical use. However, there are currently no

Giant prostatic hyperplasia: report of a previously asymptomatic man presenting with gross hematuria and hypovolemic shock

Einstein (São Paulo)
Giant prostatic hyperplasia is a rare condition characterized by very high volume benign prostatic enlargement (>500g). Few cases have been reported so far and most of them are associated with severe lower urinary symptoms.

Updates on Mediterranean diet and health status: active ingredients and pharmacological mechanisms

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) is among the most extensively studied dietary patterns and has been consistently associated with reduced risk of all‐cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, cognitive decline and several types of cancers.

Behind the scenes: how the EMILIN/Multimerin family shapes the cancer landscape

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The EMILIN/Multimerin family members regulate key hallmarks of cancer—including apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. As indicated, their function in immune evasion, drug resistance, and metabolic reprogramming remains largely unexplored.

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Real‐World Use of Emicizumab in Patients With Acquired Haemophilia A: An Interim Safety Analysis of a Large‐Scale Post‑Marketing Surveillance Study

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare autoimmune disorder where the development of autoantibodies to factor (F)VIII neutralise its function, leading to bleeding. Emicizumab has been approved for treating AHA in Japan. Aim This post‐marketing study was performed to primarily examine the use and safety of emicizumab, and indirectly
