Current devices, outcomes, and pain management considerations in penile implant surgery: an updated review of the literature.

Penile prosthesis surgery is a definitive treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). The two categories of penile prosthesis are endorsed by professional guidelines, inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) and malleable penile prosthesis (MPP). Each modality of penile prosthesis offers distinct advantages and incorporates specific design features, allowing for personalized device selection that aligns with individual needs and preferences.

Decreased Opioid Prescription With Low Pain Scores After Urethroplasty: Using a Simplified, Multimodal, Opioid Minimization Pain Protocol.

Objective: To implement a simplified, opioid-minimized, multimodal pain management (MPM) protocol and assess its effectiveness of reducing opioid dispersion while maintaining low postoperative complications, patient-reported pain, and patient-reported interference with quality of life (QOL) for men undergoing urethroplasty.

Methods: Ninety-five men at a single academic center from October 2020 to October 2023 received a urethroplasty. We retrospectively reviewed the prior standard pain management (SPM) cohort before August 2021, then prospectively studied the MPM cohort after August 2021.

Deeper Pathways for Recruitment Efforts: Identifying Opportunities for Undergraduate and Medical Student Involvement in Infectious Diseases.

Background: Only 74% of infectious diseases (ID) training positions were filled in the 2022 fellowship match, indicating a need to find increasingly novel and creative solutions for ID recruitment and outreach.

Methods: The websites of 2321 universities and 181 medical schools across the United States were manually searched for the presence of undergraduate clubs and interest groups, respectively, for multiple medical specialties and subspecialties, including ID. Geographic data were used to compare the proximity of ID fellowships to undergraduate institutions.

Teaching Hands-Only CPR (HOCPR) skills to 8-grade students in urban Bengaluru: Development of a comprehensive Hands-Only CPR programme for high school students.

Background And Aims: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in India. Only 1.3% of these arrests receive bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Comparison of the Effects of Sevoflurane and Halothane on Arterial Oxygenation during One Lung Ventilation.

We investigated the effect of halothane and sevoflurane on oxygenation during one lung ventilation (OLV) in 24 patients undergoing elective thoracic procedures. After induction with thiopentone, 4-5 mg/kg and morphine 0.1 mg/kg, suxamethonium 2mg/kg was administered to facilitate tracheal intubation with a double lumen tube.

Neurovascular rescue for embolic stroke following atrial septal defect closure.

Strokes following cardiac surgery occur in about 5% of patients. Intra-arterial thrombolysis is a good option in such a setting where intravenous thrombolysis is contraindicated, and when in-hospital strokes are detected well within the window for treatment and the chances of complete reperfusion are maximum. On postoperative day 4 after atrial septal defect correction, a 34-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation developed left middle cerebral artery stroke causing severe neurological deficits.
