Article Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the FloStent™, a novel nitinol prostatic stent, in men with LUTS secondary to BPH.
Materials And Methods: This multi-center, single-arm, one-year study included men aged ≥45 with BPH. Participants underwent FloStent™ implantation using a flexible cystoscope. The primary endpoints were device implantability, tolerability, and device retrievability. Secondary assessments included International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), peak urinary flow rate (Qmax), post-void residual (PVR), and adverse events (AEs) at follow-ups over 52 weeks.
Results: The study enrolled 15 participants with a mean age of 58.1 years. All attempts at implantation were successful. Postoperative catheterization was not required in any patient. Significant improvements were observed in IPSS and Qmax. Thirteen AEs were reported, all resolved, with no serious complications. Device retrieval was safely performed using standard urological equipment up to one-year post-implantation.
Conclusions: This preliminary study indicates that the FloStent™ is a safe and effective treatment option for BPH, providing significant symptom relief and improved urinary function with a favorable risk profile. Further research, including larger, randomized controlled trials, are needed to validate these findings and establish the long-term efficacy and safety of the FloStent™ device.

To evaluate intraoperative ventilatory mechanics during robotic-assisted hysterectomy in obese women with endometrial cancer and introduce the concept of a physiologic "ceiling effect" in respiratory strain. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 89 women with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy between 2011 and 2015. Intraoperative ventilatory parameters, including plateau airway pressure and static lung compliance, were recorded at five-minute intervals.

Awake craniotomy is the gold standard to achieve maximal safe resection of brain lesions located within eloquent areas. There are no established guidelines to assess patient's eligibility for awake craniotomy by weight class. This study assesses feasibility, safety, and efficacy of awake surgery by weight classes through an observational, retrospective, single-institution cohort analysis (2010-2024) of 526 awake craniotomies.

Background: Spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy by robotic surgery is a safe and feasible surgical technique. Currently, spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy represents an alternative to the classical distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy, in the case of benign and low-grade malignant diseases of the body or pancreas tail. The reasons for preserving the spleen are based on the reduction of postoperative complications, such as post-splenectomy infections, subphrenic abscess, portal thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, thrombocytosis, and thromboembolism.

Objective: CXCR4 and integrin αβ play important roles in tumor biology and are highly expressed in multiple types of tumors. This study aimed to synthesize, preclinically evaluate, and clinically validate a novel dual-targeted PET imaging probe Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) for its potential in imaging tumors.
Methods: The effects of Ga-pentixafor-c(RGDfK) on cell viability, targeting specificity, and affinity were assessed in the U87MG cells.

Hydrogen energy is pivotal for driving sustainable development and achieving deep decarbonization; yet, its storage remains a significant challenge. Notably, depleted methane reservoirs can serve as a promising large-scale solution for underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Based on adsorption experiments, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics methods, the adsorption behavior of H and CH in anthracite and the applicability of five models were discussed.
