Sexual function is a key factor impacting all individuals' wellbeing, including the transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) population. Lack of validated sexual function evaluation tools for this community contributes to gaps in medical knowledge, barriers to proper assessment, interventions, and an understanding of sexual function expectations pre and post gender-affirming surgery (GAS). Current studies indicate beneficial individualized treatments for management of sexual dysfunction in TGGD individuals, while demonstrating the importance of applicable and validated sexual function assessments. In the evaluation of sexual function for these patients, it is essential to consider the social, mental, and physical components experienced by this community as well as all variations of sexual practices and preferences. Currently, due to the general lack of an index of assessment, providers and/or researchers are left to adapt one of the validated cisgender tools or create non-validated evaluation tools when assessing TGGD patients. Through the creation of unique validated sexual function tools, providers will be able to improve affirming patient care, reduce stigma, and ensure accurate sexual function evaluation.

Technological innovation of HoLEP: a multicenter, randomized, controlled study for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
World J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Zhangjiagang Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of Transurethral Holmium Laser of the Prostate (HoLEP) with Double-n Technology in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with a focus on preserving sexual function postoperatively.
Methods: Conducted as a multicenter, prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial, this study enrolled sexually active male patients with BPH. Participants were randomized into three groups: standard HoLEP (Group A), single-n technology (Group B), and innovative double-n technology (Group C), which emphasizes the preservation of the urethral mucosa and nearby structures.

Intra-specific interactions among top carnivores are among the most intriguing behavioural aspects and essential components of population dynamics. Static interactions pertain to space use, while dynamic interactions involve spatio-temporal patterns influenced by social structure, distribution, mate selection, and density. Previous studies have focused on static interactions, successfully estimating spatial overlap but leading to a knowledge gap of dynamic interaction to be able to compute attraction and avoidance on similar spatio-temporal scales.

The Wannan black pig is a superior local breed in Anhui province, renowned for its exceptional meat quality and remarkable adaptability to various environmental conditions. Semen, being a crucial indicator of male sexual maturity and fertility, significantly influences the performance of breeding boars. The molecular basis for comprehending the fecundity of boars in practical production lies in understanding the disparities in sperm proteins among boars of varying ages.

Promiscuous females reduce male reproductive control. Males can attempt to monopolise access to these females, but distractions and sneaky rivals mean extra copulations cannot always be blocked. By mating first, males can obtain a headstart in sperm competition, but this may be negated by sperm storage and cryptic female choice mechanisms.
