Peyronie's disease (PD) causes penile curvature. Its etiology is multifactorial, involving microtrauma and genetic factors. Diagnosis relies on history, physical exam, and sometimes ultrasound. Current treatments include pain control in the acute phase and various non-surgical and surgical options in the stable phase. Future research focuses on etiology, improved diagnosis, and regenerative therapies.
A recent study showcases the power of CRISPR gene editing to significantly boost the production of resveratrol, a plant-derived compound with numerous health benefits.
This article examines the ethical implications of telemedicine in sexual medicine, focusing on privacy, informed consent, and healthcare equity. Despite its benefits in improving accessibility, telemedicine raises concerns about data security, potential diagnostic limitations, and exacerbating healthcare disparities, particularly in sensitive areas like urology. The authors analyze these challenges through a systematic literature review, emphasizing the need for robust ethical frameworks to guide telemedicine integration as a complement to traditional care. They stress maintaining patient-centered practices, ensuring equitable access, and upholding confidentiality to preserve trust and quality outcomes in sexual health services.
This narrative review centers on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into surgical sperm retrieval techniques for nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA). It details conventional surgical sperm retrieval (SSR) procedures and their varying success rates. AI has diverse applications in reproductive medicine, such as predictive models and sperm image recognition. It improves sperm detection in azoospermic samples, yet faces challenges like specimen variability and ethical concerns. Future AI advancements may enhance SSR precision and transform male infertility treatment.
Cell aging has always been an important topic in biological research, and telomere shortening is one of the key issues in cell aging studies.
