Objective: To explore the association between sexual sensation seeking and risk sexual behaviors among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) who were under 25 years old.
Methods: 403 YMSM were recruited through online publicity, organization of outdoor activities together with HIV voluntary counseling and testing services from May to November in 2013. A total number of 375 (93.05%) valid questionnaires were received.
Results: Data showed that, among the 375 YMSM, 37.9% had sex with men for the first time without using a condom, 55.7% had multiple sexual partners, 51.7% had one-night stand, and 5.6% engaged in group sex activities. Results from correlation analysis showed that sexual sensation seeking was positively correlated with four risk sexual behaviors (r = 0.247, 0.218, 0.296 and 0.252, respectively). Data from the Unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that YMSM with high sexual sensation seeking were more likely to engage in risk sexual behaviors.
Conclusion: Sexual sensation seeking was associated with risk sexual behaviors among YMSM. More knowledge and behavior education based on the sexual sensation seeking should be emphasized, as well as increasing the awareness on HIV-related risk sexual behaviors.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, Haryana, India.
Patients with congenital or acquired penile defects face significant psychological trauma. Various methods for penile reconstruction have been described of which the free radial artery forearm flap using the tube-within-tube design is found to be the most commonly used. We have assimilated the best practices described at different times in our bid to standardize the technique and have strived to make it reproducible.

Purpose: Compressive neuropathies such as carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndrome can lead to sensation loss, muscle weakness, joint contractures, and disrupted sleep. The interplay between these conditions and the effect on patients' intimacy is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine sexual function before and after surgery in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release or cubital tunnel release.

The Alaotran gentle lemur (Hapalemur Alaotrensis) is one of the most endangered primates in the world and shows a low success rate in captive breeding programmes. We tested a novel scent enrichment, made up of a synthesized mixture likely conveying information about female fertility, on four unsuccessful breeding pairs (n = 8 subjects) living at the Jersey, Birmingham, London (United Kingdom) and Mulhouse (France) zoos. We evaluated the effects of the scent enrichment on behavior (515 h of observation) and fecal endocrinology (cortisol and testosterone measurements) (n = 180 samples) comparing pre- enrichment, enrichment and post- enrichment phases.

Behavioral contagion is widespread in primates, with yawn contagion (YC) being a well-known example. Often associated with ingroup dynamics and synchronization, the possible functions and evolutionary pathways of YC remain subjects of active debate. Among nonhuman animals, geladas (Theropithecus gelada) are the only species known to occasionally emit a distinct vocalization while yawning.
