Testicular Functions and Clinical Characterization of Patients with Gender Dysphoria (GD) Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS)
ConclusionOnly patients that did not discontinue hormonal treatment showed feminized blood levels on the day of SRS. The ones who stopped re‐virilized quickly. Interestingly, testicular histology was highly heterogeneous irrespective of the treatment strategy, a phenomenon that requires further investigation.

Testosterone Concentrations and Cardiovascular Autonomic Neuropathy in Men with Type 1 Diabetes in the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications Study (EDIC)
ConclusionsTestosterone levels are not associated with CAN among men with type 1 diabetes. Although testosterone is associated with a higher Valsalva ratio, a more favorable indicator, the clinical significance of this association is not known.

Erectile Dysfunction and Mortality in a National Prospective Cohort Study
ConclusionsED is associated with increased premature mortality risk. The present findings have major public health and clinical implications in that ED is a strong indicator of premature mortality. Therefore, patients with ED should be screened and possibly treated for complications that may increase the risk of premature death. Loprinzi PD and Nooe A.

Partial Treatment Requests and Underlying Motives of Applicants for Gender Affirming Interventions
ConclusionIt becomes clear that partial treatment is requested by a substantial number of applicants. This emphasizes the need for gender identity clinics to provide information about the medical possibilities and limitations, and careful introduction and evaluation of non‐standard treatment options.

Psychological Support, Puberty Suppression, and Psychosocial Functioning in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria
ConclusionPsychological support and puberty suppression were both associated with an improved global psychosocial functioning in GD adolescents. Both these interventions may be considered effective in the clinical management of psychosocial functioning difficulties in GD adolescents.

Effects of Aging and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors on the Expression of Sirtuins in the Human Corpus Cavernosum
ConclusionsOur results demonstrate for the first time expression of SIRT2–3 and SIRT5–7 in the human CC. Aged individuals with CVDRF presented an increase in SIRT7 protein levels and a decrease in mitochondrial SIRT3. This finding suggests that CVDRF induces the loss of antioxidant defense mechanisms leading to endothelial injury. Freitas M, Rodrigues AR, Tomada N, Fonseca J, Magalhães A, Gouveia AM, Neves D.

Idiopathic Partial Thrombosis (IPT) of the Corpus Cavernosum: A Hypothesis‐Generating Case Series and Review of the Literature
ConclusionIPT is a condition that presents typically with perineal pain and swelling. Cycling is often seen as a provocative factor, while the presence of a fibrous web at the level of the crurocavernosal junction is the underlying disorder allowing for entrapment of blood in the crura. Conservative treatment provides a reasonably good outcome in most cases. For therapy resistant cases, surgery can be considered.
