Adverse Events Associated With Female External Urinary Collection Devices.

Importance: Female external urinary collection devices were designed with the goal of decreasing the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infections, which can have significant clinical complications. The BD PureWick urinary collection system, C. R.

Heterogeneous endocrine cell composition defines human islet functional phenotypes.

Phenotyping and genotyping initiatives within the Integrated Islet Distribution Program (IIDP), the largest source of human islets for research in the U.S., provide standardized assessment of islet preparations distributed to researchers, enabling the integration of multiple data types.

Combining human liver ECM with topographically featured electrospun scaffolds for engineering hepatic microenvironment.

Liver disease cases are rapidly expanding worldwide, and transplantation remains the only effective cure for end-stage disease. There is an increasing demand for developing potential drug treatments, and regenerative therapies using in-vitro culture platforms. Human decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) is an appealing alternative to conventional animal tissues as it contains human-specific proteins and can serve as scaffolding materials.

Patient-reported outcome measures for assessing urinary dysfunction following gender-affirming genital surgery: A narrative review of the literature.

Introduction: Gender-affirming genital surgery is one of several surgical procedures available to transgender and nonbinary (TGNB) individuals to improve congruence between their gender identity and sex assigned at birth. Despite increasing utilization of these procedures, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess subjective outcomes following gender-affirming genital surgery remain limited. Our aim was to provide a synopsis of PROMs currently being used to evaluate urinary outcomes among TGNB patients following gender-affirming genital surgery and to assess each PROM for content that is relevant to TGNB patients.

Speckle-free coherent imaging through deep turbulence.

We develop and validate a model-based iterative reconstruction framework for digitally correcting coherent images corrupted by deep turbulence. In general, this framework is applicable to coherent-imaging approaches that gain access to the complex-optical field; however, we demonstrate our approach with multi-shot digital holography data. To test our image correction framework, we generate calibrated deep-turbulence conditions from our laboratory testbed.
