Abstract

To investigate the decision-making attitudes, course of informed consent, and satisfaction levels of parents who opted for newborn circumcision (NC) in a societal setting where the timing of circumcision is generally determined by tradition. Online questionnaire was sent to 1235 parents of boys who had NC. The response rate was 50.4%. The final decision of newborn circumcision depended on the mother in 51.47%. Nearly 75% of circumcisions were performed before hospital discharge. The most common (70.65%) reported reason for parents' choice was medical/hygienic. When evaluating their decision, 93.05% refused any feelings of regret and 96.26% stated they would decide the same if they had another son. The source of information on newborn circumcision was mostly physicians (39.27%), followed by friends and family (31.2%). Parental preference, having nonreligious motives, and being previously informed about the procedure by experienced peers appeared as significant factors on the decision regarding timing of NC. In total, 79.90% ranked their satisfaction level as "very satisfied" on a Likert scale. The mean rate of satisfaction was significantly higher in parents who acquired previous information from healthcare providers and who ack...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
