Social and Metabolic Characteristics Associated With Multiple DKA Admissions at a Large County Hospital.

Context: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a preventable, deadly, and costly complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Some individuals with T1DM have recurrent DKA admissions.

Objective: We sought to characterize social factors that differ between patients with single vs multiple DKA admissions at an urban, safety-net hospital.

Mechanical indications for inflatable penile prosthesis revision: analysis and implications for revision surgery.

Background: Despite technical advancements, inflatable penile prostheses (IPPs) are inherently at risk of mechanical failure given their nature as hydraulic devices.

Aim: To characterize IPP component failure location at the time of device revision and stratify by manufacturer: American Medical Systems (Boston Scientific [BSCI]) and Coloplast (CP).

Methods: A retrospective review of penile prosthesis cases from July 2007 to May 2022 was conducted, identifying men who underwent revision surgery.
