ABSTRACT Background Familial clustering of testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is well‐established, whereas the risk of non‐testicular cancer among relatives remains inconsistent across studies. Objective To evaluate the overall and site‐specific cancer risk among first‐degree relatives and grandparents of TGCT patients compared to cancer‐free controls.

6‐Nitrodopamine as a Novel Mediator of Prostatic Smooth Muscle Function in Mouse and Human
ABSTRACT Background Epithelium‐derived catecholamines contribute to local regulation of genitourinary smooth muscle function, but the role of the endogenous 6‐nitrodopamine (6‐ND) in the prostate remains unknown. Objectives To determine whether 6‐ND is produced by mouse and human prostate and its role in smooth muscle regulation.

Quality‐of‐life and late effects after transabdominal cerclage: A nationwide matched cohort study
Permanent transabdominal cerclage does not appear to be associated with impaired quality‐of‐life or persistent late effects when compared to women without cerclage, regardless of mode of birth. These findings provide a more evidence‐based foundation for counseling when considering transabdominal cerclage for the prevention of preterm birth.
