Impact of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (level of control) on sex hormone profile and erectile function by Abdullah A. Khawaji, Hossam S. El-Tholoth, Muath A. Albarakati, Bander A. Binjabaan, Abdulaziz Alzahrani, Abdulmajeed Althobity, Abdulmalik Almardawi, Khaled Bedaiwi, Mussa AlNuami

“…Longer diabetes duration correlated with both ED and poor glycemic control, suggesting a potential causal link. Well-controlled diabetics had lower BMI (P = 0.001), higher free testosterone (FT) (P = 0.0002), lower sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) (P = 0.0001), and higher IIEF scores (P < 0.0001) compared to the poorly controlled group, indicating better erectile function and potential benefits of weight management and improved testosterone availability. …”

Variability of microbiomes in winter rye, wheat, and triticale affected by snow mold: predicting promising microorganisms for the disease control by Ildar T. Sakhabutdinov, Inna B. Chastukhina, Egor A. Ryazanov, Sergey N. Ponomarev, Olga A. Gogoleva, Alexander S. Balkin, Viktor N. Korzun, Mira L. Ponomareva, Vladimir Y. Gorshkov

“…Conclusions The top indicator microbial taxa for winter wheat and rye following the winter period were Ph. sclerotioides and Microdochium, respectively, both of which are causal agents of snow mold disease. Bacteria from the Cellulomonas, Lechevalieria, and Pseudoxanthomonas genera and fungi from the Cladosporium, Entimomentora, Pseudogymnoascus, and Cistella genera are prime candidates for testing their plant-protective properties against Microdochium-induced snow mold disease and for further use in agricultural practice.…”

“Longing is good”: proof-of-concept for a novel psychological intervention to tackle self-blaming emotions by Nahed Lajmi, Suqian Duan, Jorge Moll, Roland Zahn, Roland Zahn

“…Unexpectedly, no changes were observed on the non-clinical measures.LimitationsA randomized controlled trial design is needed to determine whether these symptom reductions were causally related to the intervention. Additionally, our findings may not generalize to men, due to our inability to recruit a sex-balanced sample.ConclusionAs predicted, participants benefited from being prompted to transform self-blaming feelings into those related to longing which shows the feasibility and potential to be further developed in people with clinical depression. …”
