Article Abstract
Introduction: With the increase in penile augmentation procedures it becomes important to assess what is the normal erect penile size in both potent men and men with erectile dysfunction (ED).
Aim: The aim of this work is to define the average stretched penile size in normal men and ED patients.
Main Outcome Measures: Penile length and girth.
Methods: This study included 1,027 adult men presenting to a university hospital outpatient clinic. Two groups of patients were included in this research work. Group I comprises normal adult men (949) and Group II, ED patients (78). There were no differences of race, age, height, and weight. Penile length and girth were measured using a tape measure and rigid ruler in the fully stretched states in both groups. All penile measurements were performed by the same physician.
Results: In normal men (Group I) the mean of the fully stretched length was 12.9 +/- 1.9 cm and the mean of the fully stretched girth was 8.9 +/- 0.9 cm. In ED patients (Group II), the mean of the fully stretched length was 11.2 +/- 1.5 cm and the mean of fully stretched girth was 8.8 +/- 0.8 cm. Comparing the mean of fully stretched penile lengths in both groups revealed statistical significant difference (P < 0.001) between them, whereas comparing the mean of fully stretched penile girths in both groups revealed statistical nonsignificant difference (P = 0.474) between them. There were significant positive correlations between fully stretched penile lengths and fully stretched penile girths in both groups.
Conclusion: The average of fully stretched penile length in normal potent men is 12.9 cm, whereas the patients with ED tend to have significantly shorter penises (11.2 +/- 1.5 cm).

Background: Safety, adherence, and compliance have been poorly-characterized in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of exercise training within multiple sclerosis (MS) research. The MoXFo initiative recently proposed standard criteria for defining exercise safety, adherence, and compliance, yet these criteria have infrequently been applied within an exercise training RCT involving people with MS.
Objective: This study applied published criteria for characterizing safety, adherence, and compliance within a RCT that compared 12-weeks of supervised treadmill walking exercise (TMWX) training (intervention condition) with 12-weeks of stretching-and-toning (active control condition) among fully-ambulatory persons with MS who demonstrated slowed cognitive processing speed (CPS).

Whether at the molecular or cellular scale in organisms, cell-cell adhesion adapts to external mechanical cues arising from the static environment of cells and from dynamic interactions between neighboring cells. Cell-cell adhesion needs to resist detachment forces to secure the integrity and internal organization of organisms. In the past, various techniques have been developed to characterize adhesion properties of molecules and cells in vitro and to understand how cells sense and probe their environment.

Coordination bonding is a crucial interaction between heteromaterials that enhances both mechanical toughness and stretchability, with mussels serving as a natural example of thriving in harsh marine environments due to this interaction. However, stretchable electronic materials based on this fundamental interaction have been rarely reported. In this study, a stretchable electrode, called the metal-amine coordination-complex-based electrode (MACE) is introduced, which involves the formation of coordination complexes between a solid metal and an organic layer.

Acne is a common skin condition caused by the blockage of hair follicles, which is often associated with adolescents. Beyond physical discomfort and potential scarring, acne can also result in mental health issues including low self-esteem and anxiety. Among all available medical treatments, topical antibiotics are effective for acne treatment due to their rapid action, anti-inflammatory properties, minimal side effects, and accessibility.

In this study, we prepared zinc oxide nanoparticles using a quick, safe, and cost-effective method by reducing Zn(NO)·6HO solution with Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaf extract. Qualitative phytochemical screening and FT-IR spectroscopy measurements were employed to validate the presence of active biomolecules such as Flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, terpenes and tannic compounds. FT-IR, UV-Vis, and XRD spectroscopic techniques were utilized to fully analyze the biosynthesized nanoparticles.
