Background/Objectives: Penile prosthesis implantation is a safe and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction, with low complication rates. Glans ischemia is a rare but serious postoperative complication that can lead to irreversible tissue loss. However, not all postoperative glans color changes reflect true ischemia, and distinguishing reversible ...

Low hysteresis solid‐state ion‐conducting elastomers for low‐drift pressure sensing
A load‐bearing and mechanically reversible network design is proposed to reconcile the trade‐offs among elasticity, softness, and ionic conductivity in ion‐conducting elastomers. The resulting material exhibits low hysteresis, low modulus, and high ionic conductivity, enabling pressure sensors with high sensitivity, low detection limit, and minimal ...

Abstract Background Immunomodulatory agents such as omega‐3 (ω‐3) and low‐dose aspirin (ASA) have been proposed as effective adjuncts in the treatment of periodontitis. However, they still lack long‐term studies and head‐to‐head evaluation with metronidazole (MTZ) and amoxicillin (AMX), the adjunct protocol with the strongest scientific evidence of ...
