Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the ability of sports medicine physicians to identify and report cases of harassment and abuse in sports, highlighting the need for better education on this issue.
- Conducted in 2023, the survey involved 406 physicians from 115 countries and revealed that while participants acknowledged the harmfulness of harassment and abuse, many felt uncomfortable reporting it and lacked knowledge on how to proceed.
- Significant barriers to reporting included confidentiality concerns, fear of reprisals, and insufficient training, with a majority of respondents expressing a desire for more educational resources in safeguarding practices.
Emerging evidence supports the use of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) in ambulatory settings. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate differences in perioperative characteristics, complication/readmission rates and satisfaction/cost data between ambulatory and standard-length discharge (SLD) MIPN. This study was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023429854).

We previously reported that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induces endocytic degradation of cell-surface Kv1.

In this cross-sectional study, we examined the association of serum total and free testosterone with acute phosphate and calcium excretion in males in response to an oral phosphate challenge. Thirty-five healthy adult males with normal baseline testosterone levels consumed a 500 mg phosphorus drink and the urinary excretion of minerals, as well as levels of relevant circulating parameters, were assessed at baseline and hourly for 4 h.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFContext: Dietary consumption of phosphate is increasing, and elevated serum phosphate is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Sex differences in phosphate homeostasis and response to changes in dietary phosphate intake, which are not captured by clinically measured analytes, may contribute to differences in CVD presentation and bone disease.
Objective: To assess sex differences in acute phosphate homeostasis in response to a single oral phosphate challenge.
