    Abstract Background: Phimosis is the inability to completely retract the foreskin and expose the glans. The treatment of phimosis varies depending on the age of the patient and the severity of the disease; a great number of conservative or surgical treatments are currently available.
    Aim: To provide the first review summarizing the available options for the treatment of adult phimosis.
    Methods: A PubMed, Cochrane and Embase search for peer-reviewed studies, published between January 2001 and December 2022 was performed using the search terms "phimosis AND treatment".
    Results: A total of 288 publications were initially identified through database searching. Thirty manuscripts were ultimately eligible for inclusion in this review. Conservative treatment is an option. and it includes topical steroid application and the new medical silicon tubes (Phimostop™) application for gentle prepuce dilation. Concerning the surgical approach, the gold-standard treatment is represented by circumcision in which tissue synthesis after prepuce removal can be also obtained with barbed sutures, fibrin glues or staples. Laser circumcision seems to be providing superior outcomes in terms of operative time and postoperative complication rate when compared to the traditional one. Several techniques of preputioplasty and use of in situ devices (which crush the foreskin and simultaneously create haemostasis) have been also described. These in situ devices seem feasible, safe and effective in treating phimosis while they also reduce the operative time when compared to traditional circumcision. Patient satisfaction rates, complications and impact on sexual function of the main surgical treatments are presented.
    Conclusion: Many conservative and surgical treatments are available for the treatment of adult phimosis. The choice of the right treatment depends on the grade of phimosis, results, complications, and cost-effectiveness.

    Abstract Background: Endothelial dysfunction occurs early in systemic sclerosis (SSc), leading to tissue hypoxia, vasoconstriction and fibrosis. It has been demonstrated that endothelial cells (ECs) are able to produce kynurenic acid (KYNA) in response to vascular inflammation, due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidants activity. In SSc patients, blood perfusion of hands, assessed by laser speckle contrast analysis (LASCA), correlated negatively with the extent of the nailfold microvascular damage, scored according to nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) classification. Aim of this study was to evaluate the difference of serum KYNA in SSc patients with different stages of microvascular damage.
    Methods: Serum KYNA was assessed in 40 SSc patients at the enrolment. NVC was performed to evaluate capillaroscopic patterns (early, active and late). LASCA was performed to evaluate mean peripheral blood perfusion (PBP) of both hands and to evaluate the proximal-distal gradient (PDG).
    Results: Median PDG was significantly lower in SSc patients with late NVC pattern compared to SSc patients with early and active NVC pattern [3.79 pU (IQR -8.55-18.16) vs 23.55 pU (IQR 14.92-43.80), p < 0.01]. Serum KYNA was significantly lower in SSc patients with late NVC pattern compared to SSc patient with early and active NVC pattern [45.19 ng/mL (IQR 42.70-54.74) vs 52.65 ng/mL (IQR 49.99-60.29), p < 0.05]. Moreover, SSc patients without PDG had significantly lower serum KYNA than in SSc patients with PDG [48.03 ng/mL (IQR 43.87-53.68) vs 59.27 ng/mL (IQR 49.15-71.00), p < 0.05].
    Conclusion: KYNA is lower in SSc patients with late NCV pattern and without PDG. KYNA may be associated with early endothelial dysfunction.

    Abstract Human body is colonized by trillions of microbes, influenced by several factors, both endogenous, as hormones and circadian regulation, and exogenous as, life-style habits and nutrition. The alteration of such factors can lead to microbial dysbiosis, a phenomenon which, in turn, represents a risk factor in many different pathologies including cancer, diabetes, autoimmune and cardiovascular disease, and infertility. Female microbiota dysbiosis (vaginal, endometrial, placental) and male microbiota dysbiosis (seminal fluid) can influence the fertility, determining a detrimental impact on various conditions, as pre-term birth, neonatal illnesses, and macroscopic sperm parameters impairments. Furthermore, unprotected sexual intercourse creates a bacterial exchange between partners, and, in addition, each partner can influence the microbiota composition of partner's reproductive tracts. This comprehensive overview of the effects of bacterial dysbiosis in both sexes and how partners might influence each other will allow for better personalization of infertility management.

    Abstract Introduction: Hyperandrogenism and hypoandrogenism are complex disorders involving multiple-organ systems. While androgen excess is a well-characterized condition, androgen deficiency still needs diagnostic criteria, as there are no specific cutoffs.
    Areas covered: We highlight the most recent findings on the role of androgens in female pathophysiology, investigating clinically relevant conditions of androgen insufficiency or excess throughout a woman's life, and their possible therapeutic management.
    Expert opinion: Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) should be considered as first-line therapy for the management of menstrual irregularity and/or clinical hyperandrogenism in adolescents with a clear diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). There are limited evidence-based data regarding specific types or doses of COCs for management of PCOS in women; however, the lowest effective estrogen dose should be considered for treatment. Despite evidence regarding safety, efficacy, and clinical use, testosterone therapy has not been approved for women by most regulatory agencies for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). The long-term safety for treatments with testosterone is still to be evaluated, and this review highlights the need for more research in this area.

    Abstract Introduction: The orthotopic neobladder is the type of urinary diversion (UD) that most closely resembles the original bladder. However, in the literature the urodynamic aspects are scarcely analysed.
    Objective: To provide the first systematic review (SR) on the urodynamic (UDS) outcomes of the ileal orthotopic neobladders (ONB). Continence outcomes are also presented.
    Methods: A PubMed, Embase and Cochrane CENTRAL search for peer-reviewed studies on ONB published between January 2001-December 2022 was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement.
    Results and conclusion: Fifty-nine manuscripts were eligible for inclusion in this SR. A great heterogeneity of data was encountered. Concerning UDS parameters, the pooled mean was 406.2 mL (95% CI: 378.9-433.4 mL) for maximal (entero)cystometric capacity (MCC) and 21.4 cmH
