For a significant number of couples worldwide, infertility is a harsh reality. As specialists in male infertility, much of our armamentarium lacks definitive, evidence-based therapies. For years, we have relied on manipulation of the male hormonal axis to treat those men who help carry the burden of infertility in their partnerships.

However, it can be inefficient because of the natural barrier of the stratum corneum which is the uppermost layer of the skin. A previous study verified that the treatment of magainin pore-forming peptide with N-lauroylsarcosine (NLS) on human skin can increase skin permeability by 47-fold.

- This paper introduces a three-dimensional framework for designing and evaluating Smith machines and squat training programs, using a probabilistic motion synthesis algorithm and biomechanical analysis.
- The proposed framework integrates a human-machine-environment model, which simulates interactions using joint constraints, and generates Smith squat motions through a Gaussian process regression algorithm.
- Validation of the framework was conducted through physical experiments measuring EMG signals and ground forces, showing that this approach can streamline the development of training programs while minimizing reliance on physical prototypes.
Background: Pediatric oncology patients are at increased risk for blood stream infections (BSI). Risk in the absence of severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] ≥500/µl) is not well defined.
Procedure: In a retrospective cohort of febrile (temperature ≥38.
Purpose: Bullying has become a social plague associated with various deleterious outcomes. We hypothesized that pediatric lower urinary tract symptoms could be associated with exposure to bullying.
Materials And Methods: We assessed exposure to school bullying via the Setting the Record Straight bullying questionnaire in children 8 to 11 years old being evaluated for lower urinary tract symptoms at our pediatric urology clinic.
Purpose: We determined the extent to which complications as well as number of hospital-free days within 30 and 90 days of surgery predicted health related quality of life 1 year after radical cystectomy.
Materials And Methods: We used data from a prospective health related quality of life study using a validated instrument, the Vanderbilt Cystectomy Index-15. Complications were graded by the Clavien system, and hospital length of stay and length of stay during readmissions were used to calculate 30 and 90-day hospital-free days, respectively.
Background: Pediatric patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) are at risk for low bone mineral density, which may due, in part, to low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
Procedure: We compared the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D status of 22 pediatric HCT patients with 100 healthy pediatric controls. We determined the prevalence of and risk factors for 25-hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency and deficiency.
