Purpose Of Review: To review the most recent literature citing opioid-sparing multimodal analgesic strategies used to manage perioperative pain in patients who underwent inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) surgery and to provide the penile implant surgeon a variety of non-opioid-based pain management strategies for IPP management.
Recent Findings: Interventions performed in the pre-operative, intraoperative, and post-operative arenas have all been shown to effectively lower pain scores and reduce opioid consumption. Certain surgical techniques performed during IPP surgery have helped with post-operative discomfort patients may feel after surgery.
Division of the genus Observation of discontinuities in amino acid identity values, a possible consequence of major extinction events, guides transfer of nine species to the genus , eleven species to the genus , and three species to the genus gen. nov., with description of sp. nov. and sp. nov. derived from clinical specimens.

Article Synopsis
- The genus in the relevant family is identified as polyphyletic, indicating that it includes species that do not share a common ancestor.
- Whole-genome analysis revealed a multi-modal distribution of amino acid identity (AAI) values among the genus's species, suggesting patterns linked to historical biodiversity losses during extinction events.
- The study proposes reassigning several species to different genera, describes two new species, and introduces a new genus, with specific species categorized accordingly.
Objectives: We compared the incidence of polymorphisms activating the NLRP3 inflammasome between controls and patients with cholesteatoma and its potential association with bone erosion in patients with cholesteatoma.
Methods: This is a case-control study assessing the mutation rates in genes of interest in patients with and without cholesteatoma. A total of 133 saliva samples from control (n = 65) and cholesteatoma (n = 68) patients were collected for DNA extraction.
