Differences or disorders of sex development (DSD) include various congenital conditions in which chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex development is atypical. The incidence varies according to the category of DSD but the total incidence is high if hypospadias and undescended testes are included. Fertility prospects may be a concern for DSD patients and their parents. With the development of modern medical technologies and treatment opportunities, fertility diagnostics, information, and treatment have changed. Assisted reproductive technology has developed during the past decades and has become more available with an improving success rate. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection and testicular sperm retrieval, have further improved the possibilities for men with DSD to become biological parents. Some studies have determined the presence of germ cells in the gonads of patients with DSD suggesting that the potential for fertility may be higher than previously thought. However, fertility outcomes among individuals with DSD have not been fully investigated. Moreover, previous study showed that information on fertility problems and treatment possibilities given to patients with DSD needs to be improved. The use of registries to study fertility outcomes is essential for a better knowledge of fertility in patients with these rare conditions.

Intervention Techniques Targeting Echolalia: A Scoping Review.

Purpose: Although echolalic speech is found in typical development, echolalia is most commonly associated with autism. As such, echolalia has frequently been the focus of various interventions aimed at autistic children. Recent research and the voices of autistic self-advocates indicate that echolalia serves as a meaningful form of communication or functionally supports self-regulation.

Swyer syndrome, represents a rare manifestation of primary amenorrhea arising from gonadal dysgenesis. This syndrome is distinguished by the manifestation of a female phenotype despite a 46, XY karyotype. We present the case of a patient aged 32 the second of three sisters; consulted for the first time with a main complaint of primary unexplored amenorrhea responsible for infertility of 1 year with a female phenotype and a male karyotype: 46XY.

Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Melbourne, Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Human clinical trials have reported immunological outcomes can differ between ipsilateral (same side) and contralateral (alternate sides) prime-boost vaccination. However, our mechanistic understanding of how keeping or shifting the anatomical sites of immunization impacts the resultant germinal centers (GCs) and antibody responses is limited. Here, we use an adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 spike vaccine to dissect GC dynamics in draining lymph nodes and serological outcomes following ipsilateral or contralateral prime-boost vaccination in C57BL/6 mice.

This article addresses gender issues in the context of the professor's productivity grants (PQ) distribution applied to Civil Engineering. It contributes with reflections on the advancement of knowledge and gender equality through the inclusion of integrity and holistic aspects. A quantitative and descriptive data analysis of public documents revealed that the number of women civil engineers is considerable, and that female professors engaged in postgraduate are capable of competing for scholarships.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) has dire health consequences. To intervene, it is critical we first understand why young men perpetrate IPV. One theory is that men who experience violence are more likely to perpetrate violence.
