Differences in Surgical Complications for Stage 1 Phalloplasty With Concurrent Versus Asynchronous Hysterectomy in Transmasculine Patients.

Background The authors sought to compare the perioperative morbidity of Stage 1 phalloplasty with asynchronous vs concurrent hysterectomy among transmasculine patients. Methods This retrospective study included transmasculine patients undergoing Stage 1 phalloplasty with either asynchronous or concurrent hysterectomy at Kaiser Permanente Northern California from January 1, 2017, to September 9, 2019. The primary outcome was differences in surgical site infection rates.

An Exploratory Analysis of Accelerometer-Measured Physical Activity and Emotional Functioning in Patients With Chronic Pain.

Background: Physical activity (PA) can benefit pain and emotional functioning for patients with chronic pain. However, associations between different intensities of PA (moderate-to-vigorous PA, light PA, and sedentary behavior), pain, and emotional functioning are not well understood in patients with chronic pain.

Objective: The goals of this study were to (1) describe PA patterns of adult patients with chronic pain using accelerometers and (2) explore preliminary associations between PA intensities, pain, and emotional functioning.

Urethrographic Evaluation of Anatomic Findings and Complications after Perineal Masculinization and Phalloplasty in Transgender Patients.

Transgender patients seeking gender-affirming surgery are a growing population with unique health care needs. The radiologist must understand the challenges these patients face to facilitate a positive patient-physician interaction during the series of postoperative fluoroscopic evaluations. The authors present a standard two-stage surgical approach and common postoperative fluoroscopic findings after perineal masculinization and phalloplasty procedures.

Assessing within- and between-family variations in an expanded measure of childhood adversity.

Previous measures of childhood adversity have enabled the identification of powerful links with later-life wellbeing. The challenge for the next generation of childhood adversity assessment is to better characterize those links through comprehensive, fine-grained measurement strategies. The expanded, retrospective measure of childhood adversity presented here leveraged analytic and theoretical advances to examine multiple domains of childhood adversity at both the microlevel of siblings and the macrolevel of families.
