Global Survey of the Roles and Attitudes Toward Social Media Platforms Amongst Urology Trainees.

Objectives: To perform a global survey assessing the role of and the attitudes toward media platforms amongst training Urologists METHODS: We distributed a 21-item online survey on social medial (SoMe) and other media platforms to current Urology trainees by email via individual institutions and multiple Urological associations. The survey acquired data including baseline characteristics, the role of and attitudes toward SoMe and other media platforms in training and assessed the prevalence of Social Media Disorder (SMD) based on the validated 9-item SMD Scale. Stata IC was used for statistical analysis.

Decreasing postoperative opioid use while managing pain: A prospective study of men who underwent scrotal surgery.

Objective: To compare postoperative pain control among men who received different quantities of narcotic prescriptions following scrotal surgery. We hypothesized that men receiving eight vs four pills of acetaminophen 300 mg/codeine 30 mg there would be no significant difference in mean pain following scrotal and inguinal surgery.

Patients And Methods: In this prospective, open-label study, men who underwent scrotal surgery received eight or four acetaminophen 300 mg/codeine 30 mg pills.

Evaluation of Indicators of Female Sexual Dysfunction in Adult Entertainers.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) incorporates a wide range of sexual issues within the female population; however, it has not been evaluated among female adult entertainers.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of FSD in women working in the adult entertainment industry.

Methods: A 53-question online survey was distributed to female adult entertainers via e-mail through collaboration with the Free Speech Coalition, the North American Trade Association of the Adult Industry.

Erectile dysfunction among male adult entertainers: a survey.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) has not been evaluated among male adult entertainers. Our goal was to evaluate the prevalence of ED and use of erectile aids among men working in the adult entertainment industry.

Time to improvement in semen parameters after microsurgical varicocelectomy in men with severe oligospermia.

Introduction: We aimed to determine the time and predictive factors of semen quality improvement in men with severe oligospermia after microsurgical varicocelectomy.

Methods: Men with total motile sperm count (TMSC) <5 million on two semen analyses were identified from May 2015 to August 2017. Postoperative semen analysis was collected at 3-6 months and >6 months.

Effect of prescription medications on erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects about 50% of men in the USA and is primarily attributed to physiological (organic) and psychological causes. However, a substantial portion of men suffer from ED due to iatrogenic causes. Common medications such as antihypertensives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antacids may cause ED.

Men With Severe Oligospermia Appear to Benefit From Varicocele Repair: A Cost-effectiveness Analysis of Assisted Reproductive Technology.

Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of men who underwent varicocelectomy for total motile sperm count (TMSC) <2 million and to perform a cost-effectiveness analysis of intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization with intracyctoplasmic sperm injection after varicocelectomy.

Methods: We prospectively collected data of men with TMSC <2 million who underwent microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy. Men with azoospermia were excluded.
