The aim of this study was to illuminate the lived experience of prostatectomy recovery by means of semi-structured interviews. Despite the commonality of prostatic enlargement and the corrective transurethral procedure, surprisingly little is known of the impact upon the men's social and psychological well-being. The interviews have produced very rich data, which illustrate the extent to which the men are initially very reluctant to identify 'problems' either with their hospital experience or their subsequent recovery period. However, once respondents appeared to feel more comfortable, we began to learn of their very substantial difficulties both before and after the operation.

Despite the development of guidelines for the ethical conduct of research in prisons, researchers and advocates have questioned whether current approaches aimed at protecting incarcerated persons from unethical research unfairly exclude this group from participating in and benefitting from research. Discussion of these issues comes mostly from expert opinion.

On average men are taller and more muscular than women, which confers on them advantages related to female choice and during physical competition with other men. Sexual size dimorphisms such as these come with vulnerabilities due to higher maintenance and developmental costs for the sex with the larger trait. These costs are in keeping with evolutionary theory that posits large, elaborate, sexually selected traits are signals of health and vitality because stressor exposure (e.

Women living with HIV (WLWH) are at a particularly high risk of developing for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3) and cervical cancer, and the standard surgical treatment is far less effective in this population. Thus, research on medical therapies and combination treatment options remain a priority.
