Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.

Background: Almost all primary care providers (PCPs) believe screening for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia in older patients is important. However, there are significant barriers in primary care, including low provider confidence in their assessment skills, time constraints, competing priorities, and poor financial incentives. Consequently, PCPs report conducting cognitive assessments for less than half of patients over 60 years of age.

Gender-Affirming Phalloplasty: A Comprehensive Review.

The goals of gender-affirming phalloplasty typically include an aesthetic phallus and scrotum, standing micturition, and/or penetrative intercourse. Phalloplasty can be performed using both free and pedicled flaps. Complications include flap-related healing compromise and urethral issues, including stricture and fistula.

Ambient temperature exposure and rapid infant weight gain.

Background: Childhood obesity is a major public health concern, and the global rate is rising. Rapid infant weight gain is a risk factor for later overweight. Studies have linked prenatal ambient temperature exposure to fetal growth, and preliminary evidence suggests postnatal exposure may be associated with infant weight gain.

Gender-affirming DIEP Flap Breast Augmentation.

Implant-based techniques have been the mainstay of gender-affirming breast augmentation (GABA). Here we describe a novel autologous technique for GABA. We provide a single-patient case report of gender-affirming deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEP) flap breast augmentation.
