Article Synopsis
- - Femininizing gender affirmation surgery involves constructing external female genitalia, including a new clitoris, labia, and vagina, while removing certain penile parts like the glans and urethral remnants.
- - A study conducted from March 2021 to February 2023 involved 41 patients (average age 30.5) undergoing penile microvascular dissection followed by vaginoplasty, with follow-up results showing preserved corpora cavernosa and satisfactory outcomes for all patients.
- - The findings suggest that the preserved penile structures, including the corpora cavernosa and urethral remnants, could potentially be utilized for live-donor penile transplantation in the future.
Article Synopsis
- Representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) held meetings that highlighted the potential for health care innovations through better collaboration between the two organizations.
- The expertise and technology developed in DOE’s physical science labs, particularly in areas like particle physics, can significantly contribute to advancements in medical healthcare.
- A joint workshop was convened on July 12-13, 2021, to discuss findings and set goals for future collaborative efforts between NIH and DOE.
Article Synopsis
- The quality of death certificates is crucial for accurate public health mortality data, especially during a pandemic like COVID-19.
- Forensic pathologists need to understand how to properly classify COVID-19 deaths on death certificates, particularly in cases of suicide or decayed bodies that test positive for the virus.
- Improved education for physicians on death certification standards from organizations like WHO and CDC can help ensure accurate reporting and data collection during the pandemic.
Central nervous system (CNS) infections are a major cause of human morbidity and mortality worldwide. Even patients that survive, CNS infections can have lasting neurological dysfunction resulting from immune and pathogen induced pathology. Developing approaches to noninvasively track pathology and immunity in the infected CNS is crucial for patient management and development of new therapeutics.
