Objectives: To report the clinical outcomes of the Victo™ (Promedon, Cordoba, Argentina) adjustable artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) implantation in a cohort of patients with severe urinary incontinence (UI) after prostate surgery.

Patients And Methods: This study enrolled patients with UI following prostate surgery who underwent a Victo implantation between May 2018 and December 2023. Patients were prospectively evaluated at baseline, and at 3 and 12 months after device activation, and thereafter annually.

Background: Advanced Life Support (ALS) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is frequently administered by two-member crews. However, ALS CPR is mostly designed for larger crews, and the feasibility and efficacy of implementing ALS guidelines for only two rescuers remain unclear.

Objective: This scoping review aims to examine the existing evidence and identify knowledge gaps in the efficiency of pre-hospital ALS CPR performed by two-member teams.

Introduction: Our objective was to conduct an individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA) of the two published randomized placebo-controlled trials of mirabegron in people with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) due to spinal cord injury (SCI) or multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: We identified two randomized, placebo-controlled trials. We extracted individual patient data from the trials and evaluated two primary outcomes: change in maximum cystometric capacity and change in the patient perception of bladder condition (PPBC).

Purpose: To evaluate changes in corneal refractive parameters after implantation of a stromal lenticule of different thickness. We assume that the refractive outcome depends on the optical power of the used lenticule.

Methods: We conducted an ex-vivo non-human study on 33 normotonic porcine eyeballs divided into two groups, for 4D and 8D human lenticule implantation.
