Increased Nephrolithiasis Prevalence in People with Disabilities: A National Health and Nutrition Survey Analysis.

To estimate the prevalence of nephrolithiasis in people with disabilities (PWD), while accounting for known kidney stone disease risk factors. We used answers to the disability and kidney disease questionnaires from the 2013-2016 cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a nationally representative cross-sectional survey by the Centers for Disease Control, to […]

All you need to know about sperm RNAs.

Spermatogenesis generates a small and highly specialised type of cell that is apparently incapable of transcription and translation. For many years, this dogma was supported by the assumption that (i) the compact sperm nucleus, resulting from the substitution of histones by protamine during spermatogenesis, renders the genome inaccessible to the transcriptional machinery; and (ii) the […]

Adaptive magnetic resonance-guided neurovascular-sparing radiotherapy for preservation of erectile function in prostate cancer patients.

Erectile dysfunction is a common adverse effect of external beam radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer (PCa), likely as a result of damage to neural and vascular tissue. Magnetic resonance-guided online adaptive radiotherapy (MRgRT) enables high-resolution MR imaging and paves the way for neurovascular-sparing approaches, potentially lowering erectile dysfunction after radiotherapy for PCa.

A Psychosocial Approach to Erectile Dysfunction: Position Statements from the European Society of Sexual Medicine (ESSM).

Although erectile dysfunction (ED) involves an interaction between physiological and psychological pathways, the psychosocial aspects of ED have received considerably less attention so far. To review the available evidence on the psychosocial aspects of ED in order to develop a position statement and clinical practice recommendations on behalf of the European Society of Sexual Medicine […]
