This study evaluates the long-term safety and effectiveness of the Rigicon Infla10® Inflatable Penile Prosthesis in patients with erectile dysfunction. The study follows patients implanted with the Rigicon Infla10® Pulse™ Dynamic Inflatable Penile Prosthesis for up to 3 years after implantation.

The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is the gold standard for surgical management of erectile dysfunction (ED) and there is no consensus on the best postoperative pain management regimen. In the wake of the opioid epidemic, postoperative pain management is heavily scrutinized. The National Institute of Health estimated over 81,000 individuals died following overdose of any opioids in 2022 alone; of these, over 14,000 deaths were linked to prescription opioids. Thus, strategies to minimize postoperative pain should not only improve patient experience but also lessen the need to escalate to opioid usage.

Newborns born early are at risk for a serious health problem called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). PDA is a passageway between heart and lung that can cause life-threatening complications such as bleeding in the brain or even death if it remains open and large. When closure of PDA is needed, doctors make every attempt to do it as soon as possible. Ibuprofen is the best drug to close the PDA, but it only works for 50% of small newborns. The investigators have shown before that small newborns handle ibuprofen differently and the amount of active ibuprofen that reaches their blood can be very unpredictable. Studies have shown if enough ibuprofen reaches the body, it can close the PDA. Therefore the investigators designed this study to see whether it is possible to give each newborn the right amount of ibuprofen that their body needs to close the PDA. The investigators will compare two ways to give ibuprofen in a small number of newborns: 1 - standard amount of ibuprofen to everyone, which is the usual care or 2 - ibuprofen doses that will be changed based on how much active ibuprofen has reached the body and how well the newborn's PDA is closing. The investigators will then compare the number of PDAs closed in each group and closely monitor any possible challenges for this new practice. By doing this project, the goals can be summarized as below: A. Primary goal: To determine if it is feasible to successfully run a larger study in the future. B. Secondary goals 1. To assess how well and how safely the personalized (MIPD) method works, using a tool called WAPPS-PDA to guide dosing. 2. To compare the effectiveness and safety of the personalized method with standard ibuprofen dosing. 3. To identify drug levels in the blood (Cmin, AUC0-24, AUC0-72) that are associated with complete, partial, or no response to treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare how different sildenafil formulations are absorbed and tolerated in healthy adult males under fed conditions. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do Hezkue and Hezkue Turbo differ in absorption compared to other commercial sildenafil products? Are there any differences in safety or tolerability between the products? Researchers will compare multiple formulations to evaluate differences in drug absorption and side effects.

The goal of this study is to determine whether or not the use of a penile traction therapy device known as RestoreX prior to implantation of a penile prosthesis can increase the length of the implant used during surgery. The device used in this study is commercially available and has been used successfully to facilitate penile lengthening in patients with diabetes and after a certain type of prostate surgery. Use of the device has not been shown to have any detrimental effects on sexual or overall health.

This is a phase 1/2 single center, pilot study to assess safety and efficacy of allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HB-adMSCs) and to evaluate the timing and combination effects of active treatment versus placebo in promoting the recovery of erectile function in patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy (RALP) of localized prostate cancer.

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP) has become the standard of care in the management of localized prostate cancer. However, post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence still pose a challenge that adversely affects the patient's quality of life. Hydrodissection (HD) was introduced in 1987 in the medical field and it was tested for the first time during a retropubic radical prostatectomy back in 2005. Since then, research has indicated an improvement in erectile function results, presumably because of a less traumatic neural dissection and a decreased risk of neuropraxia. In an effort to achieve a balance between oncological excision and functional preservation, prostate surgery is evolving to incorporate intraoperative real-time evaluation of extracapsular extension. Recently, a micro-ultrasound operating at 29 MHz has been introduced. It provides a resolution down to 70 μ to assess the glandular pattern and cellular density of the prostatic tissue. Given the experience in more than a thousand cases with this technology, and the growing literature showing promising results in the detection and staging of prostate cancer; the researchers decided to implement this tool as guidance for hydrodissection of the layers of the lateral prostatic fascia. Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy and SAFE (Saline assisted fascial engorgement) nerve preservation guided by Microultrasound (MUS) is a prospective randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the impact of normal saline solution hydrodissection (HD) on erectile function outcomes after RALP. This innovative approach consists of a transrectal ultrasound-guided HD using a high-resolution Microultrasound (MUS) (ExactVu micro-ultrasound, Exact Imaging, Markham, Canada). The technique will be applied to those patients who undergo grade 1, 2, or 3 NS approach taking into account the grading system proposed by Tewari et al. The hypothesis is that the SAFE technique could minimize the risk of a traumatic neurovascular bundle dissection while assessing the prostatic capsule integrity with a high-resolution MUS. The researchers also hypothesize that the use of SAFE along with RALP will optimize the post-surgery recovery of erectile function.

The objective of this phase 1 study is to evaluate the food effect of 100 mg Hezkue Turbo® (ASP-001.1, sildenafil) under fed versus 100 mg of Hezkue Turbo® (ASP-001.1, sildenafil) under fasted conditions in healthy adult male subjects

To assess endothelial dysfunction in young men (aged 30-50) with vasculogenic ED identified through penile Doppler ultrasound. To evaluate changes in endothelial function using EndoPAT before and 3-6 months after daily low-dose phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor therapy. To investigate endothelial function alterations in hypogonadal patients before and 3-6 months after initiating testosterone (T) therapy

This multicenter, single arm, prospective, non-randomized study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of The Bloom Micro Occluder System for the treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in pre-mature infants over a period of 6 months.

The investigator proposing a single arm prospective pilot trial evaluating the safety and the 1-year erectile recovery outcomes of patients undergoing Nerve Restoring (NR) Robotically assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). During this study a total of 10 patients who are undergoing robotic prostatectomy will have their surgery performed utilizing a novel technique, NR-RALP, which incorporates a genitofemoral (GFN) nerve graft designed to try to improve the erectile function and recovery of men undergoing standard of care robotic prostatectomy while minimizing additional morbidity of the procedure

The purpose of this study is to assess whether intraoperative irrigation with Irrisept is not inferior to irrigation with multiple antibiotics during placement of a first time inflatable penile prosthesis device.
