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.

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Erectile dysfunction (ED) significantly impacts quality of life. For patients unresponsive to conservative treatments, penile prosthesis implantation represents an effective solution with high satisfaction rates. However, the complexity and sensitive nature of the procedure often generate multiple patient concerns.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.We show that convective therapy in the form of hemodiafiltration does not demonstrate a measurable effect on phosphate removal in a real‐world setting. On the other hand, session duration is the most important factor in determining phosphate removal in hemodialysis patients.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.HOPE has improved outcomes in ECD liver transplantation and allowed the safe utilization of increasingly marginal grafts with favorable results. ABSTRACT Background The advent of machine perfusion (MP) has significantly improved post‐liver transplantation (post‐LT) outcomes, potentially enabling the use of increasingly marginal grafts and expanding the

An In Vitro System for Studying Toxin Transport Across Hemodialysis Membranes
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.Development of an in vitro hemodialysis (HD) system based on mini dialyzers for evaluating hemodialysis membranes under physiologically relevant conditions. ABSTRACT Background Healthy kidneys regulate acid–base balance and electrolytes, produce hormones, and clear excess fluids and uremic toxins.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.The use of autologous connective tissue, such as pericardium or peritoneum, combined with controlled tissue treatment, has the potential to result in a more durable heart valve prosthesis than current commercial prostheses. ABSTRACT Introduction Valvular heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Current biological and mechanical

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.This study aims to evaluate the potential of a multistage pump design to enhance hemocompatibility in left ventricular assist devices. We found that the two‐stage concept offers favorable hemolysis measures compared to single‐stage designs, as the reduction in peak shear stresses outweighs the disadvantage associated with prolonged residence time ...

Axial length, myopia progression, and myopic maculopathy in Stickler syndrome
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose We lack knowledge on the potentially progressive nature of and the prevalence of complications to myopia as a characteristic trait of Stickler syndrome. Methods This cross‐sectional study combines ophthalmic examination and medical record data on Danish patients with genetically confirmed Stickler syndrome type 1 (COL2A1) and type 2 ...
