Background: A few studies of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) distribution and frequency have shown a real context of infection in men. The study aimed to know the HPV types distribution in men from Northwestern Mexico, in general, per age and year.
Methods: A total of 1,769 males were recruited from 5 years (2011-2015), from an HPV PCR testing laboratory service. Penile scraps from urethral meatus and coronal sulcus were taken for DNA isolation. There were detected 32 high and low-risk HPV types by HPV Type 3.5 LCD-Array system.
Results: A high frequency of HPV-6 and HPV-66 and a reduced frequency of HPV-18 and HPV-11 was detected. Young men had a high risk of HPV infection regarding men aged 40 years and older. The theoretical coverage for the HPV vaccine in men was calculated, where the bivalent vaccine showed coverage of 21.66% in high-risk HPV positive cases.
Conclusion: The men from Northwestern Mexico have a different distribution of high and low-risk HPV types and high risk of HPV infection in younger men, with a theoretical coverage for HPV bivalent vaccine of 1 of 10 positive men for any HPV type.

Gender equality and women's empowerment have been increasingly emphasised in food production systems, including fisheries and aquaculture. Accurate assessment and understanding of the state, progress and changes in women's empowerment in the sub-sectors is required. We applied the project level Women's Empowerment in Fisheries and Aquaculture Index (pro-WEFI), which is based on the project-level women's empowerment in agriculture index (pro-WEAI) to standardize the measurement of women's agency and empowerment in fisheries and aquaculture.

Background: The arterial stiffening is attributed to the intrinsic structural stiffening and/or load-dependent stiffening by increased blood pressure (BP). The respective lifetime alterations and major determinants of the two components with normal aging are not clear.
Methods: A total of 3053 healthy adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled.

Background: Youth living with HIV (YLH) are disproportionately impacted by HIV with poor outcomes along the entire HIV care continuum. In a 2020-2022 pilot study, iCARE Nigeria, successfully tested a combination intervention incorporating mobile health technology and peer navigation to: 1) improve testing and linkage to HIV care for young men, especially young men who have sex with men (YMSM) and 2) improve medication adherence and treatment outcomes for YLH. The intervention was scaled up to 5 sites in 3 Nigerian cities.

Importance: Efforts to understand the complex association between social media use and mental health have focused on depression, with little investigation of other forms of negative affect, such as irritability and anxiety.
Objective: To characterize the association between self-reported use of individual social media platforms and irritability among US adults.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This survey study analyzed data from 2 waves of the COVID States Project, a nonprobability web-based survey conducted between November 2, 2023, and January 8, 2024, and applied multiple linear regression models to estimate associations with irritability.
