Assessing Readability of Patient Education Materials on Adult-Acquired Buried Penis.
Ann Plast Surg
January 2025
From the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.
Introduction: Adult-acquired buried penis (AABP) is an increasingly prevalent condition characterized by the penis "buried" in prepubic/suprapubic tissue. AABP affects urinary and sexual function, hygiene, and psychosocial well-being. Because many affected individuals are unfamiliar with the condition or hesitant to seek medical help, accessible, high-quality patient education materials (PEMs) are necessary.

Urol Pract
November 2024
Department of Urology, UC San Diego School of Medicine, La Jolla, California.
Introduction: Board certification in urology is a multistep process including a written qualifying examination (QE), followed by an oral certifying examination (CE) approximately 2 years after residency or fellowship completion. The goal of this process is to ensure that urologists are well trained, have an extensive fund of knowledge, demonstrate professionalism and competence in practice, and are safe to practice urology. Board certification in urology serves to both establish and confirm physician competence and ultimately protect the public.

Expert Opin Drug Discov
January 2025
Centro de Investigación en Reproducción Animal Universidad Autónoma de Tlaxcala - CINVESTAV Tlaxcala, Tlaxcala, México.
Introduction: Existing pharmacotherapies for schizophrenia have not progressed beyond targeting dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission. Rodent models of schizophrenia are a necessary tool for elucidating neuropathological processes and testing potential pharmacotherapies, but positive preclinical results in rodent models often do not translate to positive results in the clinic.
Areas Covered: The authors reviewed PubMed for studies that applied rodent behavioral models of schizophrenia to assess the antipsychotic potential of several novel pharmacotherapies currently under investigation.
3D ophthalmic ultrasonography at the slit lamp using existing ultrasound systems.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California, United States of America.
Purpose: This study aims to explore the feasibility and performance of three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) imaging in ophthalmology using commercially available ultrasound probes adapted to a slit lamp.
Significance: Despite ultrasound's long-standing application in eye care for visualizing ocular components, the evolution of 3DUS technology has remained inactive, with limited development and commercial availability. This study introduces a novel method that could potentially enhance ophthalmic diagnostics and treatment planning by providing comprehensive 3D views of ocular structures using existing ultrasound probes adapted to the conventional slit lamp.
Catheterizations Reduced Following a Protocol Change for Postoperative Urinary Retention Following Total Joint Arthroplasty With Spinal Anesthesia.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Jefferson Health, Stratford, NJ (Kohring) and Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA (Parikh, Hobbs, Hozack, Austin, and Krueger).
Introduction: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common concern after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). However, overdiagnosis of POUR by bladder scans may lead to unnecessary interventions and associated complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the viability of a selective bladder scanning protocol to reduce overdiagnosis of POUR following TJA.
