Context: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common sexual disorder. In France, recent evidence-based guidelines are lacking.
Aim: To provide practice guidelines on ED therapeutic management.
Pediatric patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) face unique challenges, especially amongst individuals from historically minoritized racial groups. ASD has also been associated with an increased mortality from COVID-19. This study aims to explore the differences in sociodemographic factors and health outcomes (as measured by length of stay) amongst hospitalized pediatric patients with COVID-19 infections and a diagnosis of ASD compared to individuals with a COVID-19 infection alone; Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study examining pediatric patients (ages birth to 21) who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of ASD and COVID-19 compared to patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 alone between January 2019 and June 2023 using Epic Systems Corporation's Cosmos, a de-identified dataset aggregated from electronic health record data.

- The Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ) was translated into French to assess symptoms and effects of Peyronie's disease for the French-speaking urology community.
- The translation process involved double translation, expert back translations, and testing comprehension with 30 men with Peyronie's disease, achieving over 95% understanding.
- The study concluded that the French PDQ translation is valid and understandable for all participants, suggesting further validation in broader French-speaking populations is needed.
Article Synopsis
- Many countries used digital contact tracing during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, but the role of cospace-time interactions (people in shared spaces at the same time) in virus transmission wasn't extensively studied due to insufficient data.
- A study in Beijing during the Omicron outbreak analyzed 2,230 COVID-19 cases and 220,878 contacts, finding that contact patterns varied by location and that cospace-time interactions accounted for 38% of traced transmissions under control measures.
- Without control measures, this type of interaction's contribution to virus spread dropped to 11%, indicating that public health strategies should balance the effectiveness of digital tracing with the complexities of tracing interactions in shared environments.
