    Abstract Background: Fertility declines with increasing age and physicians often delay childbearing beyond prime reproductive years for the sake of medical training. However, the risks of infertility in male physicians compared to the general population remain poorly studied.
    Objectives: To characterize rates of infertility among male physicians and identify barriers in access to fertility care and family building.
    Materials & methods: Between June 2022 and December 2022, male physicians were invited to complete a questionnaire regarding fertility and family building. Surveys were disseminated electronically via social media and professional medical societies using Qualtrics (Provo, UT).
    Results: Two hundred thirty-five responses were included in the final analysis. The mean age of respondents was 36.3 ± 7.4 years. Of 151 respondents with children or currently attempting to have children, 66 (43.7%) delayed family building due to their medical training or career. The most influential factors affecting timing of children were lack of flexibility in schedule, lack of time, stress, and financial strain. Forty-three (18.3.%) respondents had seen a doctor for fertility evaluation; an additional 12 (5.1%) said they considered doing so but did not, mostly due to being too busy. Sixty (25.5%) had undergone semen testing in the past. Thirty-one (13.2%) reported a diagnosis of fertility issues in either themselves or their partner. Twenty-seven (11.5%) endorsed either them or their partner having undergone assistive reproductive technologies or other procedures for infertility.
    Discussion: A significant proportion of male physicians delayed building their family or seeking fertility evaluation due to their medical career. Around 23.4% of male physicians have either seen or considered seeing a physician for fertility evaluation, suggesting a high prevalence of infertility in this cohort.
    Conclusion: Our results indicate a need for interventions to support family building and fertility evaluation and treatment among male physicians.

    Abstract Background: The operative treatment for thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) varies in the United States. This may be due to differences in specialty training of the provider. We sought to identify which procedures are primarily performed by specialty, identify patient characteristics presenting for different neurogenic TOS surgical interventions, and describe the safety of TOS surgery.
    Methods: Patients treated for neurogenic TOS between 2016 and 2018 were identified from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Patient characteristics, surgeon details, intraoperative variables, and complication outcomes were abstracted. Patient cohorts were stratified by type of operative intervention and by treating specialty.
    Results: Transthoracic first rib resection was the most common procedure performed for TOS relief (46.1%), followed by division of the scalene muscles with rib resection (23.9%) and brachial plexus exploration with decompression (19.4%). Vascular surgeons performed 87% of TOS repairs. Thirty-day complication rate was 3.5%. Addition of scalenectomy to first rib resection was common and resulted in increased operative time but did not increase early complication rate or readmission rate.
    Conclusion: Patient characteristics and dispositions are similar between the various TOS operative approaches. All major surgical treatments for TOS have low complication rates. Transthoracic first rib resection performed by vascular surgeons remains the most common surgical treatment for patients with TOS in the United States. Despite neurogenic symptoms representing most cases, less than 10% of operations are performed by peripheral nerve specialists, highlighting a potential need for greater incorporation of TOS release into peripheral nerve practices.

    Abstract We sought to characterize the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and barriers to treatment among male physicians. Between June and December 2022, male physicians were invited to complete a questionnaire regarding sexual function. Surveys were disseminated electronically via social media and professional medical societies using Qualtrics (Provo, UT). In totla, 235 responses were included in the final analysis. The mean age of respondents was 36.3 ± 7.4 years (range 23-72). 27 (11.5%) reported having seen a doctor for sexual health. Of these 27, 40.7% saw a physician for erectile dysfunction, 29.6% for low libido, 22.2% for premature ejaculation, 7.4% for delayed ejaculation, and 33.3% for other concerns. An additional 29 (12.3%) considered establishing care for sexual issues but didn't, mostly due to being too busy. 46 (19.6%) respondents reported having taken medication to improve erectile function. Therefore, in a cohort of young male physicians, 23.8% had seen or considered seeing a doctor for sexual health concerns, and nearly 1 in 5 had taken medication for erectile dysfunction. Male physicians appear to be at higher risk for sexual dysfunction than the general population and face significant and unique barriers in access to care for sexual dysfunction.

    Abstract Objective: To determine whether men with elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and normal semen analysis (SA) are more likely to experience a decline in semen parameters over time compared to men with normal FSH.
    Methods: Men presenting for fertility evaluation between 2002 and 2020 with normal initial SA were dichotomized according to baseline FSH as normal (<7.6 IU/mL) vs elevated (≥7.6 IU/mL). Primary outcomes included the development of abnormal sperm concentration (<15 million/mL) and total motile sperm count <9 million. Secondary outcomes included abnormal sperm motility (<40%), morphology (<4%), and total number of SA abnormalities.
    Results: The final sample consisted of 858 men; 776 had normal FSH, and 82 had elevated FSH at presentation. Compared to men with normal FSH, men with elevated FSH had lower total motile sperm count (64.1 vs 107.3, P < .001) and higher testosterone levels (339 ng/dL vs 309 ng/dL, P = .03). At each follow-up timepoint, more men with elevated FSH had oligospermia compared to men with normal FSH. Men with elevated FSH were more likely to experience a decline in total motile sperm count below the intrauterine insemination threshold of 9 million and more likely to develop SA abnormalities over time.
    Conclusion: In men presenting for fertility evaluation with normal index SA, elevated FSH was associated with subsequent decline in semen parameters over time. Men with elevated FSH and normal SA, a condition we have termed compensated hypospermatogenesis, represent an at-risk population for whom close follow-up is warranted.

    Abstract Background: COVID-19 measures such as masking, social distancing, and staying indoors may mitigate chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) symptoms. We evaluate whether these measures correlated with improved symptoms in patients with CRS.
    Methods: This retrospective study compared SNOT-22 survey data from the Northwestern CRS Registry at the time of enrollment and at years 1-5 of follow-up. The final sample consisted of 1826 SNOT-22 surveys for 598 patients. April 10, 2020 to December 31, 2021 was considered "during the pandemic" and prior to March 11, 2020 was considered "pre-pandemic." Wilcoxon test was used to compare SNOT22 at enrollment pre-pandemic versus during pandemic. Separate linear mixed models were performed to estimate SNOT22 at 1 to 5 years after enrollment pre-pandemic versus during pandemic.
    Results: Subjects enrolled during the pandemic had worse SNOT22 scores than those enrolled pre-pandemic (53 vs. 42,
    Conclusions: Patients with CRS experience a greater reduction in symptom severity in their first year of treatment during the pandemic than before the pandemic, plausibly from measures such as masking and staying indoors.

    Abstract Social media (SoMe) offers great potential to expand access to health information, but a significant proportion of users consume its content instead of consulting a physician. We sought to quantify the volume and characterize the accuracy of men's health-related content on TikTok and Instagram. We searched TikTok and Instagram for the terms: testosterone, erectile dysfunction, male infertility, semen retention, Peyronie's disease, and vasectomy. The top 10 hashtags for each term were used to estimate the total impressions for each term on each platform, and posts were then characterized by creator type, content type, and accuracy (1 to 5 scale). TikTok had 2,312,407,100 impressions and Instagram had 3,107,300 posts across all topics. Semen retention had the most impressions on TikTok (1,216,074,000) and posts on Instagram (1,077,000). Physicians created only a small portion of total TikTok and Instagram posts (10.3% and 12.9%, respectively). Across all topics, the accuracy of content was poor (2.6 ± 1.7), however, physician posts were more accurate than non-physician posts (mean 4.2 ± 1.2 vs 2.3 ± 1.6, p < 0.001, respectively). Men's health content is popular on TikTok and Instagram but is not accurate. We recommend that physicians actively engage in SoMe to address misinformation.

    Abstract Introduction: Demographic factors contribute markedly to orthopaedic surgery outcomes. However, women and minorities have been historically excluded from clinical trials. The United States passed the Safety and Innovation Act (Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act [FDA-SIA]) in 2012 to increase study diversity and mandate reporting of certain demographics. The purpose of this study was to investigate demographic reporting and analysis among high-risk orthopaedic medical device trials and evaluate the effectiveness of the FDA-SIA in increasing diversity of study enrollment.
    Methods: The premarket approval database was queried for all original submissions approved by the Orthopedic Advisory Committee from January 1, 2003, to July 1, 2022. Study demographics were recorded. Weighted means of race, ethnicity, and sex were compared before and after FDA-SIA implementation with the US population.
    Results: We identified 51 orthopaedic trials with unique study data. Most Food and Drug Administration device trials reported age (98.0%) and sex (96.1%), but only 49.0% and 37.3% reported race and ethnicity, respectively. Only 23 studies analyzed sex, six analyzed race, and two analyzed ethnicity. Compared with the US population, participants were overwhelmingly White (91.36% vs. 61.63%, P < 0.001) with a significant underrepresentation of Black (3.65% vs. 12.41%, P = 0.008), Asian (0.86% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.030), and Hispanic participants (3.02% vs. 18.73%, P < 0.001) before 2013. The FDA-SIA increased female patient enrollment (58.99% vs. 47.96%, P = 0.021) but did not increase the enrollment of racial or ethnic minorities.
    Conclusion: Despite efforts to increase the generalizability of studies within the FDA-SIA, orthopaedic medical devices still fail to enroll diverse populations and provide demographic subgroup analysis. The study populations within these trials do not represent the populations for whom these devices will be indicated in the community. The federal government must play a stronger role in mandating study diversity, enforcing appropriate statistical analysis of the demographic subgroups, and executing measures to ensure compliance.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound global impact on governments, healthcare systems, economies, and populations around the world. Within the East Asia and Pacific region, some countries have mitigated the spread of the novel coronavirus effectively and largely avoided severe negative consequences, while others still struggle with containment. As the second wave reaches East Asia and the Pacific, it becomes more obvious that additional SARS-CoV-2 surveillance is needed to track recent shifts in the pandemic, rates of increase, and persistence.

    Abstract Purpose: To develop nomograms that predict the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa, defined as ≥GG2 [Grade Group 2]) at diagnostic biopsy based on multiparametric prostate MRI (mpMRI), serum biomarkers, and patient clinicodemographic features.
    Materials and methods: Nomograms were developed from a cohort of biopsy-naïve men presenting to our 11-hospital system with prostate specific antigen (PSA) of 2-20 ng/mL who underwent pre-biopsy mpMRI from March 2018-June 2021 (n = 1494). The outcomes were the presence of csPCa and high-grade prostate cancer (defined as ≥GG3 prostate cancer). Using significant variables on multivariable logistic regression, individual nomograms were developed for men with total PSA, % free PSA, or prostate health index (PHI) when available. The nomograms were both internally validated and evaluated in an independent cohort of 366 men presenting to our hospital system from July 2021-February 2022.
    Results: 1031 of 1494 men (69%) underwent biopsy after initial evaluation with mpMRI, 493 (47.8%) of whom were found to have ≥GG2 PCa, and 271 (26.3%) were found to have ≥GG3 PCa. Age, race, highest PIRADS score, prostate health index when available, % free PSA when available, and PSA density were significant predictors of ≥GG2 and ≥GG3 PCa on multivariable analysis and were used for nomogram generation. Accuracy of nomograms in both the training cohort and independent cohort were high, with areas under the curves (AUC) of ≥0.885 in the training cohort and ≥0.896 in the independent validation cohort. In our independent validation cohort, our model for ≥GG2 prostate cancer with PHI saved 39.1% of biopsies (143/366) while only missing 0.8% of csPCa (1/124) with a biopsy threshold of 20% probability of csPCa.
    Conclusions: Here we developed nomograms combining serum testing and mpMRI to help clinicians risk stratify patients with elevated PSA of 2-20 ng/mL who are being considered for biopsy. Our nomograms are available at https://rossnm1.shinyapps.io/MynMRIskCalculator/ to aid with biopsy decisions.

    Abstract Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound global impact on governments, health care systems, economies, and populations around the world. Within the East Asia and Pacific region, some countries have mitigated the spread of the novel coronavirus effectively and largely avoided severe negative consequences, while others still struggle with containment. As the second wave reaches East Asia and the Pacific, it becomes more evident that additional SARS-CoV-2 surveillance is needed to track recent shifts, rates of increase, and persistence associated with the pandemic.
    Objective: The goal of this study is to provide advanced surveillance metrics for COVID-19 transmission that account for speed, acceleration, jerk, persistence, and weekly shifts, to better understand country risk for explosive growth and those countries who are managing the pandemic successfully. Existing surveillance coupled with our dynamic metrics of transmission will inform health policy to control the COVID-19 pandemic until an effective vaccine is developed. We provide novel indicators to measure disease transmission.
    Methods: Using a longitudinal trend analysis study design, we extracted 330 days of COVID-19 data from public health registries. We used an empirical difference equation to measure the daily number of cases in East Asia and the Pacific as a function of the prior number of cases, the level of testing, and weekly shift variables based on a dynamic panel model that was estimated using the generalized method of moments approach by implementing the Arellano-Bond estimator in R.
    Results: The standard surveillance metrics for Indonesia, the Philippines, and Myanmar were concerning as they had the largest new caseloads at 4301, 2588, and 1387, respectively. When looking at the acceleration of new COVID-19 infections, we found that French Polynesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines had rates at 3.17, 0.22, and 0.06 per 100,000. These three countries also ranked highest in terms of jerk at 15.45, 0.10, and 0.04, respectively.
    Conclusions: Two of the most populous countries in East Asia and the Pacific, Indonesia and the Philippines, have alarming surveillance metrics. These two countries rank highest in new infections in the region. The highest rates of speed, acceleration, and positive upwards jerk belong to French Polynesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and may result in explosive growth. While all countries in East Asia and the Pacific need to be cautious about reopening their countries since outbreaks are likely to occur in the second wave of COVID-19, the country of greatest concern is the Philippines. Based on standard and enhanced surveillance, the Philippines has not gained control of the COVID-19 epidemic, which is particularly troubling because the country ranks 4th in population in the region. Without extreme and rigid social distancing, quarantines, hygiene, and masking to reverse trends, the Philippines will remain on the global top 5 list of worst COVID-19 outbreaks resulting in high morbidity and mortality. The second wave will only exacerbate existing conditions and increase COVID-19 transmissions.
