Objective: We report one case of gonadal stromal testicular tumor and perform a bibliographic review.

Methods/results: We present the case of a 42 year-old male patient consulting for a painless right testicular mass. Orchiectomy was performed and the patient underwent follow-up.

Conclusions: Nonspecific sexual cord tumors are extremely rare, with slow growing and benign behaviour, presenting positive staining for various markers.

Granulosa tumors are rare tumors arising from the cells of the sexual cord and stroma of the ovary. They account for 5% of ovarian cancers and 70% of stromal cancers of the sex cords. Retroperitoneal tumors (RPTs) are also rare and develop in the retroperitoneal and subperitoneal space.

Introduction: Individuals with higher neurological levels of spinal cord injury (SCI) at or above the sixth thoracic segment (≥T6), exhibit impaired resting cardiovascular control and responses during upper-body exercise. Over time, impaired cardiovascular control predisposes individuals to lower cardiorespiratory fitness and thus a greater risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) has been shown to modulate cardiovascular responses at rest in individuals with SCI, yet its effectiveness to enhance exercise performance acutely, or promote superior physiological adaptations to exercise following an intervention, in an adequately powered cohort is unknown.

Background: Spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) profoundly affects both sexuality and urinary function. Catheterization is often necessary to manage bladder voiding and it can interfere with sexual activity.

Aim: We aim to investigate the effect of the bladder evacuation method on sexual activity in women with chronic SCI/D.

Hand dominance shift during sleep in sexsomnia: a clue to pathophysiology?

J Clin Sleep Med

January 2025

Minnesota Regional Sleep Disorders Center, and Departments of Psychiatry, Hennepin County Medical Center, and University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN.

Study Objectives: To elucidate whether awake handedness in sexsomnia is retained during sleep to uncover potential clues about the underlying neurophysiologic mechanisms.

Methods: Participants' and observers' self-reported handedness during sexsomnia events.

Results: Case 1: A 22 y/o right-handed female with an eight-year history of nocturnal sleep-related masturbatory behavior (SMB) involving the left hand (LH) exclusively.

Spinal astrocyte-derived interleukin-17A promotes pain hypersensitivity in bone cancer mice.

Acta Pharm Sin B

December 2024

Department of Translational Neuroscience, Jing'an District Centre Hospital of Shanghai, Institutes of Brain Science, State Key Laboratory of Medical Neurobiology and MOE Frontiers Center for Brain Science, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China.

Spinal microglia and astrocytes are both involved in neuropathic and inflammatory pain, which may display sexual dimorphism. Here, we demonstrate that the sustained activation of spinal astrocytes and astrocyte-derived interleukin (IL)-17A promotes the progression of mouse bone cancer pain without sex differences. Chemogenetic or pharmacological inhibition of spinal astrocytes effectively ameliorates bone cancer-induced pain-like behaviors.
