Aim: This study examined the trends about the most popular preferred sex toys by nation/region from 2009 using data from Google Trends (GT).

Methods: GT was used to generate a "line-graph" that displays how interest in a topic in certain places has risen or diminished over time.

Molecular docking and dynamics simulation analysis of PDE5 inhibitor candidates for erectile dysfunction treatment.

Objective: Molecular docking studies were conducted to assess the binding affinities of five potential inhibitor candidates [PDB (Protein Data Bank) ID: 6L6E] against Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), with Sildenafil used as the reference compound. The aim of this study is to reveal the potential inhibitory role of plant-derived compounds compared to Sildenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor.

Effect of Insulin Pen Training Using the Teach-Back Method on Diabetes Self-Management, Quality of Life, and HbA1c Levels in Older Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of insulin pen training using the Teach-Back method in older patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on their self-management of insulin treatment, quality of life (QoL), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels.

Methods: Participants included 25 patients in the intervention group, with a mean age of 80.76 ± 6.

Comparison of Tissue and Urine Microbiota in Male, Intervention Naive Patients with and without Non-Invasive Bladder Cancer.

Introduction: To investigate the presence of dysbiosis in patients with naive bladder cancer.

Methods: Twelve male patients with non-invasive bladder cancer and twelve age-matched healthy males had midstream urine and tissue samples taken. A history of endourological interventions was determined as an exclusion criterion, ensuring that the study was designed solely with naïve participants.

An evaluation of ureteral diameter ratio and vesicoureteral reflux index in the treatment of primary vesicoureteral reflux.

Objective: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) index is a simple, validated tool that reliably predicts significant improvement and spontaneous resolution of primary reflux in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the ureter diameter ratio (UDR) and VUR index (VURx) of patients treated with endoscopic injection (EI) and ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) methods in the pediatric age group due to primary VUR.

Methods: Patients under the age of 18 years old who underwent EI and UNC with the diagnosis of primary VUR between January 2011 and September 2021 were determined as the participants.
