Background: The ventral and distal aspects of the corpora cavernosa are the thinnest, increasing the likelihood of cylinder extrusion or crossover complications pertaining to inflatable penile prosthesis procedures. A double distal corporal anchoring double stitch can be used to robustly secure impending lateral extrusions and crossovers of implant cylinders. It is a novel, effective corrective measure for the uncommon complication of migrated cylinders in inflatable penile prosthesis placement.

To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on changes in frequency of sexual activity and partner dynamics in the United States, we utilized data from the General Social Survey (GSS). This biannual survey of adults in the United States, provided responses from 12,791 participants, enabling a comparative analysis of sexual behaviors between pre-COVID-19 (2016 and 2018, n = 5215 respondents) and COVID-19 periods (2021 and 2022, n = 7576 respondents).

- Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly models like ChatGPT-4, has shown promise in emulating tasks requiring human intelligence in medicine, but its capability to make treatment recommendations for specific medical conditions hasn't yet been thoroughly tested.
- This study aims to evaluate how well ChatGPT-4's treatment suggestions for ten common orthopaedic conditions align with existing clinical practice guidelines from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and a professional orthopaedic physician's plans.
- The research involves creating detailed clinical scenarios based on real patient data and corresponding medical imaging for these conditions to assess the model's adherence to established treatment protocols.
Article Synopsis
- Partial penectomy (PP) is often preferred over total penectomy (TP) for treating penile cancer because it helps preserve urinary function, but direct comparisons of results between the two procedures were previously lacking.
- A study analyzed data from 260 penile cancer patients (67 TP and 193 PP) to evaluate differences in pre-operative risk factors and outcomes, finding that PP patients generally had fewer health issues and better recovery metrics than TP patients.
- Key findings indicated that PP patients experienced shorter hospital stays, fewer complications, less need for additional surgeries, and fewer comorbid conditions; however, information on postoperative sexual function post-treatment is still limited.
ChatGPT's Ability to Assist with Clinical Documentation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
February 2024
Introduction: Clinical documentation is a critical aspect of health care that enables healthcare providers to communicate effectively with each other and maintain accurate patient care records. Artificial intelligence tools, such as chatbots and virtual assistants, have the potential to assist healthcare providers in clinical documentation. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence conversational model that generates human-like responses to text-based prompts.
