Introduction: We evaluated fertility clinic management of male factor infertility, including patient education and referral for urological evaluation and care.
Methods: Using 2015-2018 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Fertility Clinic Success Rates Reports, 480 operative fertility clinics in the United States were identified. Clinic websites were systematically reviewed for content regarding male infertility.
Article Synopsis
- Human trafficking is a critical public health issue, but research on its health effects and effective interventions is limited.
- Two collaborative victim service models, the THRIVE Clinic in Miami and the PATH Collaborative in Houston, focus on trauma-informed healthcare for trafficking victims and have collectively served numerous patients.
- Key lessons from these models emphasize the need for citywide assessments, patient navigators, interdisciplinary care, and community partnerships to support victims' recovery and reintegration, along with a call for further research on their health needs and effective care strategies.
Objective: To evaluate fertility clinic management of male factor infertility, including website educational content as well as factors associated with referral for urologic evaluation and care.
Materials And Methods: Using 2015-2018 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Fertility Clinic Success Rates Reports, 480 operative fertility clinics in the United States were identified. Clinic websites were systematically reviewed for content regarding male infertility.
Background: Despite the growth of mentorship opportunities for women in surgery, women remain largely underrepresented in the surgical field. Mentorship is an effective strategy to increase female entry and retention within surgical careers. There is limited literature evaluating mentorship for women in surgery across different career levels and racial backgrounds.

Methods: 35 women in surgery, including 14 surgeons, 11 residents, and 10 fourth-year medical students, were interviewed from July 30, 2021 to August 18, 2021 at a single institution.
Results: All participants had provided or received sponsorship.

Ion conduction mechanisms and the nanostructure of ion conduction networks remain poorly understood in polymer electrolytes which are used as proton-exchange-membranes (PEM) in fuel cell applications. Here we study nanoscale surface-potential fluctuations produced by Brownian ion dynamics in thin films of low-hydration Nafion™, the prototype PEM. Images and power spectra of the fluctuations are used to derive the local conductivity-relaxation spectrum, in order to compare with bulk behavior and hopping-conductivity models.
