Male genital lichen sclerosus

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
Male genital lichen sclerosus is driven by chronic, occluded exposure of susceptible genital epithelium to urine, rather than infection or autoimmunity. This review synthesizes clinical, anatomical and molecular evidence showing how microincontinence and occlusion initiate inflammation, fibrosis and carcinogenesis, and explains the curative effect of ...

Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement for inoperable severe aortic stenosis. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) is the recommended therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable candidates for surgery. The outcomes beyond 1 year in such patients are not known.

When indemnity insurance fails: Parametric coverage under binding budget and risk constraints

Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract In high‐risk environments, traditional indemnity insurance is often unaffordable or ineffective, despite its well‐known optimality under expected utility. We compare excess‐of‐loss indemnity insurance with parametric insurance within a common mean‐variance framework, allowing for fixed costs, heterogeneous premium loadings, and binding budget ...

Stem Cells From Dental Pulp, Periodontal Tissues, and Other Oral Sources: Biological Concepts and Regenerative Potential

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A graphical abstract recapping the different sources of dental, periodontal, and other oral‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their regenerative mechanisms and potentials. The review's article findings bridge fundamental biological science with translational advances, highlighting the significance of MSCs in craniofacial regenerative ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

Transcatheter versus surgical aortic-valve replacement in high-risk patients. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: The use of transcatheter aortic-valve replacement has been shown to reduce mortality among high-risk patients with aortic stenosis who are not candidates for surgical replacement.

Ventricular Synchrony in Targeted Right Ventricular Septal Pacing: A Prospective Paired Comparison to Apical Placement

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives Right ventricular (RV) apical pacing, the standard pacing approach, often induces ventricular dyssynchrony, potentially impairing cardiac function. This study aims to investigate whether targeted RV septal pacing, guided by functional electrophysiological feedback during implantation, reduces ventricular dyssynchrony ...

The Aortic Prosthesis and Aortic Valve Bioprosthesis Trombosis as a Late Complication in Patients after the Bentall Procedure Followed by a Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Diagnostics
Background: Valve-in-Valve (ViV) transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a viable therapeutic option for structural valve degeneration following surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or prior TAVI.

Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valves: Histological Analysis Providing Insight to Leaflet Thickening and Structural Valve Degeneration.

JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, 2019
This study investigated processes causing leaflet thickening and structural valve degeneration (SVD).Although transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has changed the treatment of aortic stenosis, concerns remain regarding SVD, potentially related to valve thrombosis and thickening, based on studies using computed tomography (CT).
