Neglected subjects in sex research: a survey of sexologists.

Published: January 1995

This study surveyed registered diplomates of the American Board of Sexology on neglected areas in sex research. Three rounds of questionnaires were completed by the diplomates as they identified and narrowed the most neglected sexual research questions. Results indicate that among three of the four specialty groups, marital sexual behavior was ranked as the most neglected sex research subject in the literature. In reviewing the individual research questions under each subject, more outcome studies on the treatment of various sexual disorders and dysfunctions were identified and ranked consistently higher than any questions under another subject area. The single exception was among sex educators, where individual research questions concerning sex education received the highest priority. These findings may suggest the need for new directions in sex research.

Objective: The prevalence of students with disabilities in physical therapist education programs in the United States is <1%. This case report explored the experiences surrounding a specific, unique individual student with blindness or visual impairment (BVI) within the context of an entry-level physical therapist program. The purpose was not merely to describe 1 student's journey but to capture the complex dynamics and shifts in perceptions of students, faculty, staff, and clinicians.

Despite insufficient evidence to support direct-to-consumer genetic testing in routine clinical care, cardiovascular clinicians increasingly face questions about its utility and interpretation because individuals can purchase these tests directly from laboratories. A burgeoning marketplace offers an expanding array of testing options. In many cases, direct-to-consumer genetic testing advertises information that could inform one's risk of heritable disease, including insight into having a genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease or data about gene-drug interactions that could affect response to cardiovascular medications.

Introduction: Previous studies investigating socioeconomic status and tobacco consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic were survey-based. To extend knowledge beyond prevalence rates and trends of tobacco consumption, qualitative research is needed to identify individual's experiences. There is a critical gap within this context, particularly in low-middle income countries.

In many animal species, collective behaviours can be explained by a simple set of interaction rules. It is an intriguing question whether this generality at the level of mechanism also translates into generality at the level of function. Assuming that collective behaviour provides antipredator benefits for the partaking individuals, we ask whether the same collective behaviour provides protection against different predators in general.

Introduction: A full understanding of how we see our world remains a fundamental research question in vision neuroscience. While topographic profiling has allowed us to identify different visual areas, the exact functional characteristics and organization of areas up in the visual hierarchy (beyond V1 & V2) is still debated. It is hypothesized that visual area V4 represents a vital intermediate stage of processing spatial and curvature information preceding object recognition.
