To inform health practitioner education, the primary aim of this study was to gain insights from a diverse sample of men in Australia on their experiences and expectations when engaging with health care practitioners. Thirty-two men (18-70 years, median 33) participated in eight online focus group discussions. A combined deductive and inductive thematic analysis was undertaken to reconcile their expectations with prior published approaches for practitioners to engage men in care and identify new themes. Participants desired a genuine relationship, signaled by upfront and informal communication, active listening, and enquiry. In structuring treatment, participants sought transparency and respect for autonomy. Regarding the therapeutic alliance, avoiding gender stereotyping and empathetic, sensitive, and holistic care were valued by men. These expectations for how practitioners engage with men in care were reflected in their advice for health practitioner student training and aligned with approaches published previously. Participant insights were synthesized into four outcomes, for men, of successful engagement: legitimize the relationship to build trust, create a safe space to facilitate disclosure, empower men, and assess and treat the whole man through a biopsychosocial lens. In conclusion, men seek authentic connection and a caring style that allows them to legitimize and forge an ongoing relationship with their practitioner. These outcomes of successful engagement are key to developing consumer-informed health practitioner education and competencies on gender-responsive health care for men.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 2","pages":"15579883241311557"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11905020/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143613037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 12-week randomized controlled trial was conducted, recruiting 140 men aged 55-65 years. Participants were randomly assigned to either a Tai Chi Softball group (TCSBG, N = 70) or a control group (CG, N = 70). The TCSBG engaged in TCSB training sessions 4 to 5 times per week, with each session lasting 70 to 90 min, while the CG maintained their usual daily routines without any additional interventions. Measurements were taken before and after the intervention and included waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), handgrip strength (HS), sit-and-reach (SAR), single-leg stance (SLS), vital capacity (VC), heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The results revealed that after 12 weeks of TCSB training, participants in the TCSBG showed significant improvements (p < .05) in HS, SAR, and SLS, indicating enhanced muscle strength, flexibility, and balance, respectively. The VC also increased significantly, while both SBP and DBP decreased notably (p < .05). Moreover, significant reductions were observed in TC, TG, and LDL-C levels p < .05). In conclusion, TCSB training demonstrated efficacy in improving muscle strength, flexibility, balance, cardiorespiratory fitness, and blood lipid profiles in older men. These findings suggest that TCSB training can mitigate age-related declines in physical function and reduce cardiovascular risk in older men.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 2","pages":"15579883251332745"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12046166/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144058297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mendelian randomization (MR) is being increasingly utilized to identify novel therapeutic targets. In this study, we carried out a genome-wide MR analysis on druggable targets with the aim of pinpointing latent therapeutic alternatives for ED. We collected data on the druggable genes and filtered out those associated with blood eQTLs, then performed two-sample MR and colocalization analyses using ED genome-wide association data to screen genes significantly linked to the condition. In addition, we carried out phenome-wide studies, enrichment analysis, protein network modeling, drug prediction, and molecular docking. We screened 3,953 druggable genes from the DGIdb and 4,463 from a review. Following data integration, 74 potential druggable genes were found to potentially regulate corpus cavernosum fibrosis. MR analysis of eQTL data uncovered five drug targets (TGFBR2, ABCC6, ABCB4, EGF, and SMAD3) significantly associated with ED risk. Colocalization analysis suggested a shared causal variant between ED susceptibility and TGFBR2, with a posterior probability (PPH4) exceeding 80%. Drug predictions utilizing DSigDB identified nolone phenylpropionate, sorafenib, and NVP-TAE684 as significantly associated with TGFBR2. Finally, molecular docking indicated strong binding affinities between these candidate drugs and the protein encoded by TGFBR2 (Vina score < -50). Through MR and colocalization analyses, the present study identified five potential drug targets for ED, with TGFBR2 showing remarkable relevance in blood. These findings offer valuable insights and potential leads for the development of more effective ED therapies, which may also contribute to cutting down the expenses involved in drug development.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 2","pages":"15579883251323187"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11905014/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143613019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that gay men's anticipated stigma from family was positively associated with loneliness, guilt mediated the relationship between anticipated stigma from family and loneliness, and the isolation dimension of self-compassion moderated the relationship between anticipated stigma from family and guilt.

CDC20 is involved in cell cycle regulation, RAD51 in deoxyribonucleic acid double-strand break repair, and TTK in spindle assembly checkpoint function and cell proliferation. We constructed a risk model and a nomogram model, both demonstrating moderate to good predictive performance with area under the curve values ranging from 0.611 to 0.765 at different time points. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were enriched in 64 pathways, including the cell cycle pathway, which is dysregulated in cancer. Furthermore, we analyzed the immune microenvironment and identified 13 differential immune cells and 13 differential immune checkpoints between high- and low-risk groups, providing insights into potential immunotherapy targets for PCa.

The precise roles of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2), and BCL-2-associated X-protein (BAX) in the pathology of varicocele still need to be clarified. This study sought to investigate the protein expression levels of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, BCL-2, and BAX in varicose and healthy vessels from patients diagnosed with varicocele. Tissue samples were collected from 20 varicose veins and 20 healthy vessels from patients diagnosed with varicocele. Western blotting was utilized to quantify VEGFR1, VEGFR2, VEGFR3, BCL-2, and BAX protein levels. Analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in VEGFR3 protein expression within varicose veins compared to healthy vessels (p = .0473), while no significant differences were observed in the levels of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 between the two groups. Concerning apoptotic signaling proteins, no significant differences were noted in the individual expression levels of BAX and BCL-2; however, the BAX/BCL-2 ratio was approximately 1.29 in varicose vessels. This ratio, exceeding 1.0, may suggest a pro-apoptotic shift in varicose veins and indicates a potential involvement of apoptosis in the pathology of varicocele. These findings suggest that VEGFR3 may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of varicocele and could contribute to vascular alterations associated with this condition. Furthermore, the elevated BAX/BCL-2 ratio implies a pro-apoptotic environment within varicose veins, thereby implicating apoptosis as a possible mechanism in the development of varicocele. Further exploration of VEGFR3-related signaling pathways and apoptotic markers may yield valuable insights for identifying therapeutic targets in managing varicocele.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 2","pages":"15579883251321588"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11907509/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143623197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework was used for answering the review question \"What evidence is available about factors contributing to PPPD in first-time fathers?\" Five databases (CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and PubMed) were used to retrieve relevant, full-text, English references from January 01, 2020, to January 04, 2023. A data extraction tool was developed to identify risk factors assessed in the included studies. The Socio-Ecological Model (SEM) was used for analyzing the extracted data according to the four socio-ecological levels, i.e., individual, relationship, community, and societal. A total of 18 references reporting on 16 studies were included in the review. Fifty-six tools were used for assessing the risk factors contributing to PPPD in first-time fathers. Limited understanding was established about risk factors because tools lacked gender sensitivity. Risk factors aligned with 12 domains (e.g., psychological, relationship, social, and physical). Most domains corresponded with the individual level of SEM. Only two domains corresponded with the societal level of SEM. The literature indicates there are few studies about PPPD experienced by first-time fathers. This scoping review adds to the literature on the mental health care gaps for this population.

The mean scores of the violence and marital satisfaction were 321.08 ± 25.9 and 235 ± 0.13, respectively, and these two variables were significantly correlated (r = .215; p < .001). In addition, the regression analysis showed that the mean score of violence significantly predicted marital satisfaction (p < .05). The study finding showed that the Iranian men faced with a moderate level of domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic; therefore, the study concludes that various institutions should design and implement effective strategies to prevent the occurrence of domestic violence and reduce its negative effects on the family.","PeriodicalId":7429,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Men's Health","volume":"19 2","pages":"15579883251322956"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11915310/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
