Microbial Diversity of Genital Ulcer Disease in Men Enrolled in a Randomized Trial of Male Circumcision in Kisumu, Kenya

PLoS ONE, 2012
Medical male circumcision (MMC) reduces the risk of genital ulcer disease (GUD) in men by 50%. In Ugandan and Kenyan trials, a sexually transmissible agent was not identified in 50-60% of GUD specimens by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. We sought to better define the etiology of GUD in men participating in the Kenyan trial and examine how MMC ...

Genital Crohn's disease in pediatrics and genetic associations

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Genital edema is a rare presentation of Crohn's disease (CD), also known as metastatic CD (MCD). This may precede, co‐occur with, or follow gastrointestinal symptoms and present a diagnostic challenge. We aimed to characterize the features, clinical courses, pathogenesis, and outcomes of patients with MCD to increase understanding and promote ...

Microbiota diversity and differences in the respiratory tract of children with pneumonia

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Differences in microbial communities in the upper and lower respiratory tract in patients with pneumonia were investigated in this study by sequencing the 16S rRNA genes in pharyngeal swabs and alveolar lavage fluid. Forty‐three subjects were enrolled in the study, and one upper and one lower respiratory tract sample were collected from each subject ...

Prevalence and Characteristics of Prostatic Utricles: A Retrospective MRI Study in Middle‐Aged to Elderly Men

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Congenital urological malformations encompass a wide range of anomalies affecting the urinary tract and reproductive organs. MRI has emerged as a diagnostic tool in identifying these conditions. Prostatic utricle is an enlarged diverticulum in the posterior urethra, which results from incomplete degradation of the Müllerian ducts or

Emerging trends in the management of non‐obstructive azoospermia

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Ten percent of infertile males have azoospermia, classified into obstructive and nonobstructive types, which require specific medical or surgical treatments. In nonobstructive azoospermia, advancements in microsurgery allow for effective sperm retrieval in about half of cases.

Surgical outcomes in male reconstructive urology: The Qatar experience

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Obstructive azoospermia (OA) is a prevalent cause of male infertility in Qatar and globally, with vasectomy reversal (VV) and vasoepididymostomy (VE) being the primary surgical treatments. While microsurgical techniques have advanced, data from the Middle East remain limited, influenced by the region's distinct demographic and ...

Isolated asthenozoospermia: What should we know? A narrative review of literature

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male infertility contributes to 20%–70% of infertile couple cases worldwide. One of the key challenges in this area is asthenozoospermia or reduced sperm motility. A particular subset, known as isolated asthenozoospermia (iASZ), in which low motility occurs without abnormalities in sperm count or shape, often goes unnoticed and is not well ...

From clinical observations to molecular insights: Decoding immune checkpoint inhibitors‐induced prostatitis

VIEW, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), an innovative class of cancer therapeutics, may elevate the risk of prostate inflammation (prostatitis) in a subset of male patients. Our investigation demonstrated that ICIs can induce inflammatory responses in prostate tissue; however, selectively targeting specific inflammatory pathways may potentially mitigate ...

Management of Vocal Fold Leukoplakia

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL) is a descriptive term for a white plaque in the true vocal folds (TVF). It is estimated at 10.2 cases per 100,000 males and 2.1 per 100,000 females. The most critical aspect of managing a VLF is achieving an accurate pathological diagnosis, since a white plaque in the TVF can have numerous differential diagnoses ...
