Over Time

The purpose of this study is to assess treatment change at both a group and individual level in a sample of 81 Dutch male patients who received mandated care for either violent (non-sexual) behavior or sexual violent behavior. Psychiatric nurses rated patients’ social skills, insight, hostility, physical violence with the BEST-Index every 6 months over the course of 2 years after patients were admitted to hospital. Mixed analysis of covariances and the reliable change index indicated that patients, irrespective of offense type, showed treatment change over time with exception of physical violence. This study shows that general treatment may be useful in the first 18 month for risk factors common to different types of offenses, but that specialized treatment is needed to establish further change.

8103 Background: Monoclonal Gammopathy of Unknown Significance (MGUS) is characterized by the presence of a monoclonal immunoglobulin in the serum or the urine with no evidence of hematologic malignancy. A possible relationship between MGUS and increased incidence of NHM has been suggested in Caucasian populations. However, data in African Americans with MGUS are lacking. Methods: Non-MGUS controls were selected randomly from patients who did not have a paraprotein detected on electrophoresis (NMGUS) and were matched 2-to-1 to MGUS cases. Descriptive statistics and comparisons are presented to compare MGUS and NMGUS groups. Results: 492 male patients with MGUS patients were matched with 984 male NMGUS patients. 451 patients had abnormal serum protein studies (91.6%) and 40 had light chain disease (8.4%). Median age at diagnosis of MGUS was 68 years (28-81). 144 MGUS patients (29.2%) and 296 NMGUS patients (30%) had 1 or more NHM. The median age of diagnosis of 1st NHM was 70 (25-94) in the MGUS group and 68.4 in the NMGUS group (34.5-94.4). 19 MGUS patients (3.8%) and 27 NMGUS patients had 2 different types of NHM (2.7%). 1 MGUS patient (0.2%) and 3 NMGUS patients (0.3%) had 3 NHM. 57 patients had MGUS before NHM (11.5%) and 69 patients were diagnosed with MGUS after the diagnosis of NHM (14%), and median differences between diagnosis of MGUS and 1st NHM were 4 years (1-12 years) and 5 years (1-38 years) respectively. Types of NHM were comparable, and prostate cancer was the most prevalent NHM in both groups (15% of MGUS patients and 17% of NMGUS patients). Median time of follow up was 49.3 months for MGUS patients and 35.2 months for NMGUS patients 140 of the MGUS patients (28.4%) and 214 non-MGUS patients (21.75%) had died at data cut-off. Conclusions: Based on these observational data, prevalence and types of NHM appear to be comparable in MGUS and NMGUS African American patients. All cause mortality appears to be higher for NHM patients if they had MGUS. This pattern will need to be verified prospectively in a larger group of patients.

This is a time of exponential growth in the field of fillers. New types of fillers, with new properties, give new clinical outcomes in new demographics of patients. Younger patients and older patients, as well as male patients are now comfortable asking for fillers [<citeref rid="ref1">1</citeref>,<citeref rid="ref2">2</citeref>,<citeref rid="ref3">3</citeref>,<citeref rid="ref4">4</citeref>,<citeref rid="ref5">5</citeref>,<citeref rid="ref6">6</citeref>]. Fillers are not just for socialites and celebrities anymore. What are the novel uses of fillers? The sky's the limit: off-label uses of fillers are possibly more common than their on-label uses. Fillers are used in fingers, hands, arms, cleavages, buttocks, knees, feet, noses, necks, temples, foreheads, glabellas, upper eyelids, eyebrows, under eye circles, inside the orbit, into joint spaces, and around the genitals. Where there is a want or need for soft tissue augmentation, fillers are injected. As the options for different types of fillers increase, the applications expand, as well as push our knowledge and techniques. This chapter will discuss some of the novel uses of soft tissue fillers, specifically in the temples, jawline, chin, hands, fingers, nose, and infraorbital folds.

Urethral Function

Background: Posterior urethral strictures remain an everyday challenge in urological practice. Different types of operations to repair the stricture have different outcome concerning re-establishment of the urethral function and anatomy. Posterior urethroplasty is one of the frequently chosen operations. The aim of this study is to reveal indications, results and complications of posterior urethroplasty performed on fifteen patients with long posterior urethral strictures in a major urological center.Methods: Fifteen male patients have undergone anastomotic perineal urethroplasty for long posterior urethral strictures in the period from September 2010 to August 2016. The patients age ranged between 12-42 years (mean =28). They were referred to Al-Karama urological center from emergency hospitals, and Al-Hussain teaching hospital came to medical consultation to the center with established strictures. They were evaluated thoroughly pre-operatively with cystogram and retrograde urethrogram (RUGs).Results: Success rate was 66.7%. The follow-up period was short, no patient needed re-operation. Most had normal caliber urinary stream and required no optical urethroplasty or dilation. Failure noticed in two patients, one of them developed impotence post-operatively.Conclusions: The study concludes that open perineal urethroplasty remains the gold standard for the management of long posterior urethral strictures.

AbstractAccording to the literature, schizophrenia begins in men earlier than in women. It has been argued that the gender-bound age difference is due to the protective antidopaminergic effect of estrogens in women. However, the effect of gender on the age of onset may vary between different types of schizophrenias, and can also be modulated by marital status and by age at onset of illness. Comprehensive data were collected on 3306 DSM IIR schizophrenia patients, aged 15–64 years, who had been discharged from psychiatric hospitals in Finland in 1982, 1986 and 1990. The age of onset of illness (AOI) was defined by the age at the first admission (AFA). Male patients were admitted earlier than female patients, and a small second peak in women appeared at the age of 40–44. However, there were no gender differences in AFA within diagnostic subgroups, except in paranoid schizophrenia in which AFA was lower in men than in women even when marital status was taken into account. Within paranoid schizophrenia, this effect of gender was significant only in those of the patients whose AFA was higher than 30 years. It is suggested that there is no gender difference in AOI in early onset schizophrenia. In later onset, paranoid schizophrenia, the illness seems to manifest in women later than in men.

(1) Background: The relationships between the biochemical and immunological components in seminal plasma and their physiological effects on male reproductive system have been underreported. In this study, we evaluated the potential of several seminal plasma biochemical and immunological markers in the pathophysiological developments of the infertile male patients. The study was designed to identify and assess different markers that may be associated with semen functions in different types of male infertility. (2) Methods: A total of 50 infertile male patients who underwent checkup for fertility assessment and 50 fertile controls were included in this study. The complete medical history of each recruited participant was reviewed. The infertile sub-groups (non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), asthenozoospermia (AS), normozoospermic infertile (NI), and oligozoospermia (OZ)) were characterized based on sperm motility and concentration, while NI patients were included after a thorough check up of their female partners as well. We investigated each sample for 21 different analytes, enzymes, trace elements, and immunological markers to find crucial markers posing as contributing factors to a specific type of male infertility. (3) Results: The levels of 15 out of 21 markers, assayed from the seminal plasma of infertile males, were significantly altered in comparison to fertile controls (p < 0.05). For the first time, microprotein levels were also analyzed. The presence of monocytes, lymphocytes, and granulocytes was limited to semen from NOA patients, while a significant increase in the level of platelets was observed in AS. Hierarchical clustering and ROC-AUC analysis identified the three most significant markers (zinc, LDH, and TG) for the healthy control group and asthenozoospermic group (AUC, of 0.92 and 0.81, respectively). (4) Conclusions: The altered levels of biochemical and immunological markers in seminal plasma might be associated with the different male infertility profiles and could be required for the sperm metabolism and maintenance. However, a larger sample size and follow up analysis is required for establishing the hypothesized panel of markers as biomarkers at clinical stage.
