Penoscrotal transposition (PST) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly of the
external genitalia, characterized by malposition of the penis in relation to the
scrotum. PST can be either complete or incomplete according to the positional
exchanges between the penis and scrotum and both forms of PST are generally
linked with hypospadias. Incomplete transposition is the common form
of this entity and the penis lies in the middle of the scrotum, but complete
transposition, the scrotum almost entirely covers the penis, which emerges
from the perineum.

HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), is use of antiretroviral medications
to prevent acquisition of HIV infection, in a HIV negative person who has on
going risk of acquiring HIV. This strategy has proven effective in several recently
published reports. The regimen if used optimally has HIV reduction record of
99%. However, there are several positive unforeseen benefits in this strategy.
In this observational study we are presenting some additional benefits we
observed in our Prep Clinic.

Primary central nervous system lymphomas (CNSLs) (PCNSLs) are rare and
account for 2%–5% of all brain tumor cases, whereas secondary CNSLs are more
common [1,2]. One study has shown that the most common intraparenchymal
histological type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, as among 26 patients with
PCNSL, 25 had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma [3]. Although primary dural-based
lymphomas are rare, the most common area of involvement is the cerebral
hemispheres.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutation in the cystic fibrosis
transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR) gene which leads to
defects in the eponymous called protein. Because of these defects, the chloride
conductance in and out of the cell is impaired in many organs, most importantly
in lung and pancreas, which leads to building of thick mucus in these organs.
In the last years there is a new way to treat CF-patients, namely with CFTRpotentiators/-modulators, Trikafta as an example. They have shown to be very
potent with major lung improvements and seem to be safe concerning the
adversary effects.

Cancer is rapidly spreading over the world, causing a slew of problems
in society, particularly in the individual’s life. This cancer not only causes
physical, mental, economic, and social problems for the sufferer, but it also
causes sexual problems. This problem is ignored in our society since it is seen
as a taboo in our culture, and it is deemed unacceptable. Sexual problems
caused by chemotherapy treatment are frequently ignored by both nurses and
patients.
