Individual belief in a rigid definition of gender underlies significant social costs, from the gender pay gap, violence and discrimination against transgender and gender diverse people, to global economic losses. These beliefs are often rooted in essentialist thinking that gender is distinct, non-overlapping, unchangeable, and biologically based. Gender is a multidimensional social concept, partly informed by perceptions of sex, which is a distinct concept referring to a collection of biological traits.

Electronic address: weidongmei

Objectives: This study systematically investigates the application of clinical outcomes and measures reported in the management of Vaginal Relaxation Syndrome (VRS). It further analyzes and compares variations in clinical outcomes and measures across different interventions in VRS, with a focus on assessing their generalizability and applicability. The findings aim to inform the design of high-quality clinical trials and provide a foundation for developing a Core Outcome Set (COS) and a Core Outcome Measurement Set (COMS).

Aims: High-quality feedback is crucial for helping medical students understand and apply core concepts of pharmacology, yet personalized feedback is resource-intensive to produce. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a potential solution, but little is known about students' perspectives on AI-generated feedback. This study investigated how medical students perceived and made use of AI feedback in a formative assessment while studying fundamental pharmacology.

With the rapid advancement of deep learning technology, deep learning-based methods have become the mainstream approach for detecting potential safety hazards in transmission lines, playing a crucial role in power grid safety monitoring. However, existing models are often overly complex and struggle with detecting small or occluded targets, limiting their effectiveness in edge-device deployment and real-time detection scenarios enhanced the YOLOv11 model by integrating it with the ConvNeXt network, a multi-level cross-domain analysis detection model (ConvNeXt-You Only Look Once) is proposed. Additionally, Bayesian optimization was employed to fine-tune the model's hyperparameters and accelerate convergence.
