Objective: Many factors can lead to residency attrition. The underlying process however and how these factors interact remains unclear. Understanding this process can provide background to put the available evidence into perspective.

Introduction: Lifelong premature ejaculation (LPE) is a subtype of premature ejaculation. Genetic research on LPE has primarily focused on neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, whereas LPE treatment studies have focused on drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. However, findings from genetic association and pharmacotherapeutic studies have been inconsistent.

Background: Pseudotumor formation is a well-known complication in metal-on-metal (MoM) THA. Pseudotumors combined with elevated serum ion levels and complaints from patients can lead to high revision rates. Long-term (> 10 years) results obtained from randomized trials comparing large-head MoM THA and conventional metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THA are lacking regarding revision and survival rates, pseudotumor formation, functional outcomes, and serum ion levels.

Background: Lifelong premature ejaculation (LPE) is a rare sexual condition believed to be caused by genetic neurobiological disorders.

Aim: In this study we sought to evaluate the genetic association between the rs6296 polymorphism of the 5-HT1b receptor and intravaginal ejaculation latency times (IELTs) in men with LPE compared with men in a control group.

Methods: This study was a prospective observational genetic case-control association study.

Background: A subject of ongoing debate among orthopedic surgeons is the importance of preserving the posterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but long-term survival studies are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare long-term survival rates, and clinical and radiological follow up of a double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing posterior cruciate-retaining (PCR) versus posterior-stabilizing (PS) implant design of an AGC TKA.

Methods: A total of 114 patients were included in the survival analysis (PCR n = 61; PS n = 53).
