From Membrane Composition to Antimicrobial Strategies: Experimental and Computational Approaches to AMP Design and Selectivity

Small, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for next‐generation antibiotics, acting through mechanisms such as membrane disruption and intracellular targeting. This review examines how variations in bacterial membrane composition critically influence AMP activity.

A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor constructed by photodeformable liquid crystal polymers and its application in vision restoration

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
A flexible arched artificial photoreceptor with high stability and biocompatibility was fabricated by integrating liquid crystal polymers with polyvinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene. This device exhibits robust photoelectric responses under low‐intensity illumination and demonstrates efficacy in restoring visual responses in blind rats following ...

Penile traction therapy after radical pelvic surgery: Does it work?

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction and penile shortening, is a frequent consequence of radical pelvic surgeries such as prostatectomy, cystoprostatectomy, and rectal cancer surgery. These complications primarily result from nerve injury and hypoxia‐induced corporal fibrosis.

Supersonic transporter (SST) deformity of penile prosthesis: Current management strategies

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Supersonic transporter (SST) deformity, also known as floppy glans syndrome, represents a persistent source of post‐operative dissatisfaction among patients undergoing inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) implantation. Although infection and mechanical failure rates have declined with advances in device design and surgical technique, SST ...

Peri‐operative pain management in major lower extremity amputation in vascular Surgery: a UK anaesthetic and vascular surgery Delphi consensus study*

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Major lower extremity amputations occurring secondary to vascular disease remain prevalent worldwide. Pain surrounding these procedures is complex, multifactorial and associated with poor functional and psychosocial outcomes. The evidence base informing pain management approaches in major lower extremity amputations remain largely ...

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.

Selective Pectoralis Muscle Denervation Reduces Capsular Contracture in Sub‐Pectoral Breast Reconstruction. Long‐Term Retrospective Case‐ Control Study

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Implant‐based breast reconstruction (IBBR) is the most common method of breast reconstruction globally. Although the traditional approach places implants in a retropectoral position, pre‐pectoral reconstruction has recently gained popularity due to its improved aesthetic outcomes and lower capsular contracture (CC) rates.

Skin‐Reducing Mastectomy and Implant Reconstruction: Long‐Term Surgical, Oncological, and Patient‐Reported Outcomes

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Skin‐reducing mastectomy (SRM) allows implant‐based immediate breast reconstruction in women with large, ptotic breasts. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical and patient‐reported outcomes (PRO) following SRM. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent SRM between January 2011 and December 2014 ...
