Understanding the role of testosterone and its impact on the overall health of men is important for healthcare providers who serve this patient population. To understand the impact of testosterone on men’s health, the healthcare provider must understand the function of testosterone, the implications of low testosterone on men’s health, symptoms of low testosterone, tests to determine testosterone level, and testosterone therapy. Also, it is important to understand the potential side effects and contraindications of testosterone therapy. This paper attempts to provide healthcare providers with essential aspects of the function of testosterone on men’s health and basic knowledge of testosterone therapy.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the anxiety levels of children with cancer and their parents following admission to the Military Hospital in Riyadh City.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a proforma between May 2019 to July 2019. Data collection involved the utilization of two tools. The first tool was a structured interview questionnaire design for children, while the second tool was intended for the parents of the children. The study sample comprised children and their parents who accompanied the child during hospitalization and chemotherapy. Approximately 74 children, aged 6-14 years old, diagnosed with cancer and admitted to the Riyadh Military Hospital, were enrolled in this study using convenience consecutive sampling.
Results: A total of 148 individuals participated in this study. Seventy-four parents were enrolled, with 68.9% being mothers and 31.1% fathers. Among the parents in the study, 29.7% experienced severe anxiety, 41.9% reported a moderate level of anxiety, and 20.3% had a low level of anxiety. Seventy-four children were included in the study sample, with 48.6% being boys and 51.4% girls. Among the children, 37.8% exhibited high levels of anxiety, 41.9% displayed moderate anxiety, and 20.3% reported low levels of anxiety. Additionally, a relationship was observed between the anxiety levels of parents and the anxiety levels of their children.
Conclusions: This study revealed that both children with cancer and their parents are experiencing moderate to severe levels of anxiety. The psychological well-being of cancer patients and their families is not a topic to be overlooked; rather, it is an important subject that requires attention and consideration.

Objective: Wearable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, when included in the plan of care for patients in inpatient settings, provides real time blood glucose data. This allows treatment to be proactive and timely. Implementation of these devices alters nursing care. The objective of this study was to describe the perceived barriers and facilitators, from the perspective of direct care providers in an inpatient clinical setting, when the plan of care includes a CGM device.
Methods: Guided by a review of the literature and anecdotal data, a 20 item Likert-scaled survey was developed. Once study approval was secured an invitational email was sent to the password protected emails of all potential participants. Frequency and descriptive analyses were used to analyze the responses.
Results: Survey data from 31 direct care providers describe a positive experience specific to the education and resources available. The addition of a CGM device into the plan of care is not perceived to be an additional burden for the provider.
Conclusions: Pre-implementation, appropriate education and exposure to the device is critical for providing confidence and trust. The availability of ongoing support ensures that care is enhanced when a CGM device is included in the plan of care.

Objective: Not all post mastectomy patients are eligible for immediate or late breast reconstruction. Therefore, an appropriate external breast prothesis (EBP) after mastectomy can inspire patient’s copying mechanism, self-confident and improve body image. This study aims to highlight the perceived comfort, confidence, satisfaction of post mastectomy women with the use of knitted EBP.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was implemented, and 51 participants completed an electronic questionnaire survey. The survey consisted of 26 close-ended questions related to body image satisfaction, confidence, satisfaction with the knitted EBP.
Results: Interestingly, almost more than half of the participants reported dissatisfaction with their physical appearance following mastectomy if they do not wear the EBP and they were highly confident after wearing the EBP (76%) and (86%) respectively. Moreover, almost all participants reported their satisfaction regarding the EBP in terms of weight and stated that it is light and can be worn with almost all types of clothes (94%) and (70%), respectively.
Conclusions: Our study shows that the majority of post mastectomy women had grateful experience with the knitted EBP and reported better self-confidence after wearing the breast prosthesis. However, there is no effect of EBP on young patient’s decision to have breast reconstruction in future.
