Objective: Surgical sterilization, including vasectomy in males and tubal ligation in females, is a highly effective but underutilized contraception method. Adoption rates vary globally mostly due to misconceptions by both the general public and practicing physicians. Our survey aims to explore physicians' knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about surgical sterilization techniques in Lebanon.

- Colorectal cancer is a major global health issue, often spreading to various organs, including rare cases of metastasis to the penis and scrotum from rectal adenocarcinoma.
- A case study presents a patient who experienced severe complications, including infections and necrosis, requiring extensive surgical procedures alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
- The article highlights the unusual nature of peno-scrotal metastasis, emphasizing its symptoms, potential pathways of spread, and the importance of a comprehensive treatment approach for effective management.
Objective: In the Middle East, there is a paucity of data regarding germ cell tumor characteristics and treatment outcomes. Herein, we aim to present the largest series in Jordan reporting our cancer center experience managing GCT.
Methods: Between 2010 and 2020, a total of 241 patients with a pathological diagnosis of GCT were treated at our cancer center.
Purpose: We aimed to compare perioperative outcomes, post-operative complications, and opioid use between AirSeal and non-AirSeal robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
Methods: We retrospectively collected data on 326 patients who underwent elective RARP at our institution either with or without AirSeal. The first 60 cases were excluded accounting for the institutions' learning curve of RARP.
Complex organisms can rapidly induce select genes in response to diverse environmental cues. This regulation occurs in the context of large genomes condensed by histone proteins into chromatin. The sensing of pathogens by macrophages engages conserved signalling pathways and transcription factors to coordinate the induction of inflammatory genes.
