Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.1K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Male Sexual Response: Erection & Ejaculation

20.4K
Sexual stimulation can take various forms, such as physical touch and visual or auditory cues. When this happens, the parasympathetic reflex in the sacral portion of the spinal cord is activated. This reflex stimulates the release of nitric oxide (NO), which then dilates the arterioles in the penis, increasing blood flow to the erectile tissues - the corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum.
The blood filling the erectile tissues compresses the veins, which helps to prevent blood from leaving...

Development of the Sexual Organs in the Embryo and Fetus

3.7K
Development of the reproductive organs in an embryo starts from a bipotential state. This means the early embryo can develop either male or female reproductive organs. The formation of these organs begins with the growth of gonadal ridges that arise from the intermediate mesoderm during the fifth week of development.
Near the gonadal ridges, two duct systems are present: the mesonephric ducts (Wolffian ducts) and paramesonephric ducts (Müllerian ducts). These ducts form the basis for the...

Aggression

30.4K
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for...

Relationship Formation

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Gene Conversion02:08

Gene Conversion

10.6K
Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) is a prevalent yet underrecognized aspect of intimate partner violence (IPV).
  • IPSV may lead to distinct health consequences compared to other forms of interpersonal and sexual violence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the unique outcomes associated with IPSV.
  • To compare the risks of health outcomes from IPSV with other forms of interpersonal violence.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review of 28 English-language publications was conducted.
  • Studies focused on outcomes related to mental health, physical and sexual health, and child health.

Main Results:

  • IPSV exposure is linked to increased risks of PTSD, depression, substance use, suicidality, somatic symptoms, sexual health issues, physical injuries (e.g., strangulation), and homicide.
  • Children of parents exposed to IPSV showed higher risks for internalizing symptoms like depression and anxiety.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual violence within intimate relationships has specific, severe consequences, including elevated risks for suicidality and homicide.
  • IPSV warrants specialized consideration in the assessment and management of interpersonal violence.
