    Abstract Erectile function is an important part of men's health that can significantly impact quality of life. Naturally occurring nighttime erections experienced by men throughout their lifespan provides insight into penile health as well as overall health. Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) and nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity (NPTR) devices that can non-invasively evaluate the presence and quality of erections can have valuable diagnostic and clinical utility. Early devices have several limitations that limit their current use. New, wearable devices have promising applications for the evaluation of erectile function over time. Continued advancements in this technology have the potential to render future generations of these devices as invaluable tools that are useful for both men and healthcare professionals.

    Abstract Research shows that a large proportion of the world’s population has experience with mental health difficulties, and reliable as well as scalable care is urgently needed. Digital mental health seems to be an obvious solution to provide the better delivery of care but also the delivery of better care. With an imagined future of real-time information sharing, improved diagnosis and monitoring of mental health conditions, and remote care, supported by advances in artificial intelligence, many tech companies have emerged over the last three decades to plug the treatment gap and provide services. The evidence base seems compelling: some online treatments have the capability to treat individuals quite successfully. However, the introduction, utilisation, and expansion of digital mental health technologies have not always focused on public health only. Using a surveillance capitalism perspective, this paper approaches the democratisation–privatisation dichotomy in digital mental health with a critical lens. In particular, the paper details how (commercially valuable) mental health data are extracted, “shared”, and claimed as an asset by big tech companies. Reviewing the terms, conditions, and practices of ten popular mental health apps, the paper polemically argues that mental digital health cannot unlock real value for society—better treatment, good quality care, and efficient delivery—if power, politics, and profits remain in the hands of big tech companies. To conclude, the paper draws attention to contemporary discourses that seek to promote democracy and public value for digital mental health apps, technologies, and solutions.

    Abstract Purpose: Choosing optimal cancer treatment is challenging, and certified cancer centers must present all patients in multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDT). Our aim was to develop a decision support system (DSS) to provide treatment recommendations for apparently simple cases already at conference registration and to classify these as "standard cases". According to certification requirements, discussion of standard cases is optional and would thus allow more time for complex cases.
    Methods: We created a smartphone query that simulated a tumor conference registration and requested all information needed to provide a recommendation. In total, 111 out of 705 malignant melanoma cases discussed at a skin cancer center from 2017 to 2020 were identified as potential standard cases, for which a digital twin recommendation was then generated by DSS.
    Results: The system provided reliable advice in all 111 cases and showed 97% concordance of MDT and DSS for therapeutic recommendations, regardless of tumor stage. Discrepancies included two cases (2%) where DSS advised discussions at MDT and one case (1%) with deviating recommendation due to advanced patient age.
    Conclusions: Our work aimed not to replace clinical expertise but to alleviate MDT workload and enhance focus on complex cases. Overall, our DSS proved to be a suitable tool for identifying standard cases as such, providing correct treatment recommendations, and thus reducing the time burden of tumor conferences in favor for the comprehensive discussion of complex cases. The aim is to implement the DSS in routine tumor board software for further qualitative assessment of its impact on oncological care.

    Abstract Objective: Injury to the sternoclavicular joint is a rare phenomenon that has implications for the shoulder complex. Limited literature exists on optimal physical therapy rehabilitation after a sternoclavicular ligament sprain. This case report details the physical therapy management and outcomes of a patient with a posterior sternoclavicular joint sprain.
    Case description: The patient was a 34-year-old female who sustained a grade I posteriorly directed sternoclavicular sprain during a motor vehicle accident. She received a combination of acromioclavicular joint mobilizations and therapeutic exercise for her shoulder complex for five sessions over six weeks.
    Outcomes: At discharge, the patient surpassed the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) and the minimal detectable change (MDC) in her Quick-DASH score. She surpassed the MDC and MCID in her Numerical Pain Rating Scale score. She was able to regain full functional use of her involved upper extremity and returned to her work and original exercise regimen with no further limitations.
    Conclusion: The outcomes suggest that a combination of acromioclavicular joint mobilizations and therapeutic exercise for the shoulder complex was a suitable option for the conservative management of this patient's grade I sternoclavicular sprain.

    Abstract Protein footprinting mass spectrometry probes protein higher order structure and dynamics by labeling amino acid side-chains or backbone amides as a function of solvent accessibility. One category of footprinting uses residue-specific, irreversible covalent modifications, affording flexibility of sample processing for bottom-up analysis. Although several specific amino acid footprinting technologies are becoming established in structural proteomics, there remains a need to assess fundamental properties of new reagents before their application. Often, footprinting reagents are applied to complex or novel protein systems soon after their discovery and sometimes without a thorough investigation of potential downsides of the reagent. In this work, we assemble and test a validation workflow that utilizes cyclic peptides and a model protein to characterize benzoyl fluoride, a recently published, next-generation nucleophile footprinter. The workflow includes the characterization of potential side-chain reactive groups, reaction "quench" efficacies, reagent considerations and caveats (e.g., buffer pH), residue-specific kinetics compared to those of established reagents, and protein-wide characterization of modification sites with considerations for proteolysis. The proposed workflow serves as a starting point for improved footprinting reagent discovery, validation, and introduction, the aspects of which we recommend before applying to unknown protein systems.
