    Abstract: ... ED diagnosis in comparison to young men without ED. Manalo TA, Biermann HD, Patil DH, et al ...

    Abstract Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a multidimensional sexual disorder that is being increasingly diagnosed in younger men. Although mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are known risk factors for ED, the association between these conditions and ED has been understudied in young men.
    Aim: To explore the temporal association between depression, anxiety, and ED in a population-based cohort of young men.
    Methods: Using 2009-2018 MarketScan Commercial Claims data, we identified all men with ED aged 18-40 years (cases). Using ICD-9/-10 codes and prescription data, we evaluated the prevalence and incidence of depression and anxiety in this cohort. Cases were matched with men without a diagnosis of ED (controls) based on age, Charlson Comorbidity Index, history of hypertension, geographic region, and year of presentation. We examined the prevalence of depression and anxiety within 12 months prior to ED diagnosis and incidence of depression and anxiety up to 36 months after ED diagnosis in cases vs controls. Differences between cases and controls were tested with Wilcoxon rank-sum test for numerical covariates, and chi-square test for categorical covariates. Significance was set at P < .05.
    Outcomes: Prevalence and incidence of depression and anxiety in young men with and without ED.
    Results: Within the 12-month period preceding ED diagnosis, the prevalence of depression and anxiety in cases vs controls were 17.1% vs 12.9%, respectively (P < .001). The incidence of depression and anxiety were higher amongst cases vs controls at 12- (11.7% vs 6.3%), 24- (14.5% vs 9.0%,) and 36- (15.9% vs 10.6%) months following ED diagnosis (P < .001).
    Clinical implications: High incidence and prevalence of depression and anxiety in young men diagnosed with ED highlight the importance of normalizing mental health screenings and routine psychiatric follow-up in this population.
    Strengths & limitations: Our contemporary, case-control study utilizes a population-based cohort of young men with ED to study the temporal association between depression, anxiety, and ED, which is understudied to date. The MarketScan commercial claims database used in this analysis includes men covered by private insurers only and lacks data on symptoms and treatments.
    Conclusion: Young men with ED had significantly higher rates of depression and anxiety both before and after ED diagnosis in comparison to young men without ED.

    Abstract Mutations in SETD2 are among the most prevalent drivers of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We identified a novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in SETD2, E902Q, within a subset of RCC patients, which manifests as both an inherited or tumor-associated somatic mutation. To determine if the SNP is biologically functional, we used CRISPR-based genome editing to generate the orthologous mutation within the Drosophila melanogaster Set2 gene. In Drosophila, the homologous amino acid substitution, E741Q, reduces H3K36me3 levels comparable to Set2 knockdown, and this loss is rescued by reintroduction of a wild-type Set2 transgene. We similarly uncovered significant defects in spindle morphogenesis, consistent with the established role of SETD2 in methylating α-Tubulin during mitosis to regulate microtubule dynamics and maintain genome stability. These data indicate the Set2 E741Q SNP affects both histone methylation and spindle integrity. Moreover, this work further suggests the SETD2 E902Q SNP may hold clinical relevance.

    Abstract Nephrectomy remains standard treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The Mayo Adhesive Probability (MAP) score is predictive of adherent perinephric fat and associated surgical complexity, and is determined by assessing perinephric fat and stranding. MAP has additionally predicted progression-free survival (PFS), though primarily reported in stage T1-T2 RCC. Here, we examine MAP's ability to predict overall survival (OS) and PFS in T3-T4 RCC. From our prospectively maintained RCC database, patients that underwent radical nephrectomy (2009-2016) with available abdominal imaging (<90 days preop) and T3/T4 RCC underwent MAP scoring. Survival analyses were conducted with MAP scores as individual (0-5) and dichotomized (0-3 vs 4-5) using Kaplan-Meier method. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models for PFS and OS were built with backward elimination. 141 patients were included. 134 (95%) and 7 (5%) had pT3 and pT4 disease, respectively. 46.1% of patients had an inferior vena cava thrombus. Mean MAP score was 3.22±1.52, with 75 (53%) patients having a score between 0-3 and 66 (47%) having a score of 4-5. Both male gender (p=0.006) and clear cell histology (p=0.012) were associated with increased MAP scores. On Kaplan-Meier and multivariable analysis, no significant associations were identified between MAP and PFS (HR=1.01, 95% CI 0.85-1.20, p=0.93) or OS (HR=1.01, 95% CI 0.84-1.21, p=0.917). In this cohort of patients with locally advanced RCC, high MAP scores were not predictive of worse PFS or OS.

    Abstract Objective: To provide a framework for a virtual curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic for medical student educators that introduces and teaches clinical concepts important in urology and surgical specialties in general.
    Methods: We created a 1-week virtual urology course utilizing interactive lectures, case-based exercises, and faculty-proctored surgical video reviews. Students were assigned self-study modules and participated in case-based discussions and presentations on a topic of their choice. Students' perceptions of urology as a specialty and the utility of the course was evaluated through pre- and postcourse surveys. Understanding of urologic content was evaluated with a multiple-choice exam.
    Results: A total of nine students were enrolled in the course. All students reported increased understanding of the common urologic diagnoses and of urology as a specialty by an average of 2.5 points on a 10-point Likert scale (Cohen's measure of effect size: 3.2). Additionally, 56% of students reported increased interest, 22% reported no change and 22% reported a decreased interest in pursuing urology as a specialty following the course. Students self-reported increased knowledge of a variety of urologic topics on a 10-point Likert scale. The average exam score on the multiple-choice exam improved from 50% before the course to 89% after the course.
    Conclusions: Various teaching techniques can be employed through a virtual platform to introduce medical students to the specialty of urology and increase clinical knowledge surrounding common urologic conditions. As the longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic becomes increasingly apparent and virtual teaching is normalized, these techniques can have far-reaching utility within the traditional medical student surgical curriculum.

    Abstract Background: Eight novel virtual surgery electives (VSEs) were developed and implemented in April-May 2020 for medical students forced to continue their education remotely due to COVID-19.
    Methods: Each VSE was 1-2 weeks long, contained specialty-specific course objectives, and included a variety of teaching modalities. Students completed a post-course survey to assess changes in their interest and understanding of the specialty. Quantitative methods were employed to analyze the results.
    Results: Eighty-three students participated in the electives and 67 (80.7%) completed the post-course survey. Forty-six (68.7%) respondents reported "increased" or "greatly increased" interest in the course specialty completed. Survey respondents' post-course understanding of each specialty increased by a statistically significant amount (p-value = <0.0001).
    Conclusion: This initial effort demonstrated that VSEs can be an effective tool for increasing medical students' interest in and understanding of surgical specialties. They should be studied further with more rigorous methods in a larger population.
