There is an ongoing debate about whether gender equality in education has been achieved or not. Research efforts have focused on primary and secondary education, while there are fewer studies on higher education, and few studies refer to distance education. To contribute to address this gap, this article presents a gender analysis of educational outcomes in economics at Spain's leading distance university, UNED, which is also the largest university in the European Union in terms of enrolment.

Methods: This cohort study included singleton gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) pregnancies >22 weeks' gestation with live newborns between 1991 and 2008. The control group was randomly selected and matched (1:2) for maternal age, weeks of gestation and birth year.
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate long-term durability and effectiveness of the adjustable transobturator male system (ATOMS).
Materials And Methods: The retrospective multicenter Iberian ATOMS study (n = 215) was updated to evaluate long-term continence status, complications, explants, and secondary treatments. Mean follow-up from surgery to March 2020 was 60.
Backgrounds: Patient-reported outcome measurements are important for urinary incontinence. We analyze self-assessed patient satisfaction and define the clinical profile of patient with highest satisfaction with the adjustable transobturator male system (ATOMS).
Methods: Patient perception of results was evaluated in a series of 181 patients after ATOMS adjustment.
Objectives: Feasibility study to evaluate efficacy and safety of Adjustable Transobturator Male System (ATOMS) for male stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after transurethral resection of the prostate.
Materials And Methods: Twenty patients were implanted ATOMS for SUI caused by transurethral resection of the prostate with or without radiotherapy. Incontinence severity was evaluated as mild (2 pads/day), moderate (3-5 pads/day) or severe (≥6pads/day), and dryness as none or one security pad/day.
