Long-term follow-up for individuals with hypospadias remains a critical area of need, yet evidence-based guidelines for such follow-up are lacking, and the role of involvement of relevant experts is not yet established. Using our hypospadias-specific health-related quality of life conceptual framework and a subsequent qualitative study of prepubertal males and parents of males with hypospadias, we identified potential priorities for long-term follow-up of youth with hypospadias. Using thematic codes from our patient and parent interviews, we searched PubMed for relevant articles and identified the specialties represented by all the authors of these articles.

Understanding the growth of the southern brown howler monkey elucidates not only the ecology and evolution but also contributes to conservation projects for this species. Throughout 20 years of the Centro de Pesquisas Biológicas de Indaial-Projeto Bugio, Brazil, we collected morphological data on 105 howlers of the Alouatta guariba species to identify the growth differences between ontogenetic categories and sexes and generate a growth curve to estimate the age of rescued individuals.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Treatment response is the degree to which an individual benefits from a treatment. This systematic review sought to identify and synthesize research evidence regarding individual characteristics that predict language treatment response among children with developmental language disorder (DLD).
Method: To be eligible for inclusion, articles needed to report results of an oral language treatment program in a group of children aged 4-10 years with identified DLD and also include a quantitative analysis of the relation between one or more pretreatment child characteristics and the outcome of language treatment.
Article Synopsis
- Climbazole is an antifungal used in cosmetics, notably for its preservative properties and as an active ingredient in anti-dandruff products.
- This study examines how climbazole is processed in the body, focusing on its metabolites' excretion through urine after oral ingestion and skin application, revealing that 23.9% of the oral dose was excreted over 48 hours.
- Findings indicated that the timing and amount of climbazole excretion vary based on how it is applied (oral vs. dermal), with the max dermal intake being 18.5 µg/kg bw/d from a hair tonic, compared to 6.6 µg/kg bw/d from shampoo.
