Testosterone Replacement Therapy for Male Hypogonadism.

Testosterone deficiency, or male hypogonadism, is a clinical syndrome that can be defined as persistently low serum testosterone levels in the setting of symptoms consistent with testosterone deficiency. Studies suggest that testosterone replacement therapy may improve sexual function, depressive symptoms, bone density, and lean body mass. Evidence is conflicting regarding its effect on cardiovascular events and mortality.

Socially Distanced Teaching: Faculty Feedback on Teaching During Telemedicine.

Background: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the perceptions of clinical faculty while working with medical students in a novel setting of virtual care following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Activity: A survey of faculty, fellows, and residents was conducted to assess educators' perceptions of virtual teaching before trying it and after 3 months of experience.

Results: Perceived effectiveness of teaching students acute care significantly improved as did perceived effectiveness of teaching chronic care.

Telehealth and Medical Education.

As telehealth continues to evolve, there is a subsequent need to develop efficient and effective teaching models in this realm. Primary care is well positioned to teach telehealth because of the breadth of medical conditions treated. It is crucial that learners and medical educators are prepared for learning and educating in this growing paradigm.

Testosterone Deficiency, Weakness, and Multimorbidity in Men.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the association between total testosterone (TT) deficiency and weakness on multimorbidity in men. Analyses were performed to examine the prevalence of multimobidity among young, middle-aged, and older men, with and without testosterone deficiency. Multivariate logistic models were also used to determine the association between age-specific TT tertiles and multimorbidity, adjusting for key sociodemographic variables, as well as a secondary analysis adjusted for grip strength.
