Low Free Testosterone Is Independently Associated With Long‐Term Mortality in Men With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Testosterone deficiency is highly prevalent in men with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) and is associated with obesity, sarcopenia, systemic inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. However, the independent prognostic role of low testosterone in long‐term mortality in this population remains unclear.

Surveillance After Pelvic Exenteration: A Systematic Review of Oncological and Functional Follow‐Up

open access: yesANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Surveillance following cancer surgery with curative intent serves the purpose of permitting early detection of recurrent disease in addition to monitoring and management of post‐resection functional sequelae. Although recommendations exist for most primary cancers, in the context of radical or re‐operative surgery such as pelvic ...

Validation of Aortic Blood Flow Simulations During Extracorporeal Circulation Using Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
This is the first study assessing in vivo blood flow profiles during extracorporeal circulation (ECC) scenarios. Magnetic resonance imaging data served for the calibration of computational fluid dynamics algorithms, enabling accurate replication of the hemodynamic conditions.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Public health systems face a major challenge because of the worldwide obesity epidemic. The number of obese individuals has increased dramatically and, even in Switzerland which may be considered a relatively “lean” country, the numbers are alarmingly high and have reached almost 50% of the adult population.

Atrial natriuretic peptide counteracts aldosterone secretion by preventing acute angiotensin II‐induced cAMP signalling

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Aldosterone plays a key role in blood pressure and volume regulation. Enhanced aldosterone secretion contributes to cardiovascular and renal diseases. Therefore, inhibitors of aldosterone receptors and synthase are essential drugs for the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.
