“…Circumcision is associated with change in the surface microbiota, with aerobic bacteria tending to dominate post-circumcision. Whether it is the circumcision itself or the shift in the bacterial profile that explains the reduced risk of contracting HIV through heterosexual intercourse post-circumcision is unknown [ 38 , 39 ]. Furthermore, Osadchiy et al [ 40 ] found that an increased relative abundance of D. micraerophilus in the urinary microbiome was associated with abnormal sperm motility when compared to men with normal sperm motility.…”

Exaggerated anticipatory anxiety is common in social anxiety disorder (SAD). Neuroimaging studies have revealed altered neural activity in response to social stimuli in SAD, but fewer studies have examined neural activity during anticipation of feared social stimuli in SAD. The current study examined the time course and magnitude of activity in threat processing brain regions during speech anticipation in socially anxious individuals and healthy controls (HC). Method Participants (SAD n = 58; HC n = 16) underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during which they completed a 90s control anticipation task and 90s speech anticipation task.

“…The penile microbiome, located on the outer area of the penis such as the foreskin or coronal sulcus, has been found to be up to 20‐fold higher in total bacterial abundance than in the urethra [ 111 ]. Recent studies on the penile microbiome identified the presence of numerous bacterial species which can vary depending on the individual and are associated with factors such as sexual practices, infection, and even the urogenital microbiome of their partner [ 112 ].…”
