Sexual Health.

Women's sexual health is a frequently ignored area of geriatric medicine. There are clearly defined criteria for sexual dysfunction that are organized by phase of sexual function, including desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain. The menopause transition and comorbid medical conditions (as well as their treatments) can contribute to alterations in sexual function. The partner must be included and involved in the evaluation and management to achieve a better intimate relationship in an established couple. A variety of effective and evidence-based treatments are available to women for sexual concerns in the geriatric population.

Interviewees' overuse of the word "like" and hesitations: effects in simulated hiring decisions.

This study examined the use of hesitations and discourse markers such as "uh" and "like," sex of an interviewee, and professional or student participants on hiring decisions of job interviewees. Participants consisted of 105 students between the ages of 18 to 43 years and 71 professionals between the ages of 22 to 76 years (120 women, 56 men). Adult professionals and students were least likely to want to hire, perceived the applicant as less professional, and were less likely to recommend the interviewee for hiring if the interviewee overused the word "like" compared to "uh" or control. Professionals were less likely than students overall to want to hire interviewees across conditions. Sex of the interviewee was not found to be significant.
