Methods Of Treatment

The introduction of sex therapy two decades ago was accompanied by largely uncritical enthusiasm, with the result that too few careful evaluative studies were conducted. Those that were indicated that a weekly or twice weekly schedule of treatment sessions was best and that treatment by individual therapists was as effective as co-therapy. Some of the major prognostic factors and the long-term results of sex therapy have now been elucidated. Low sexual desire has emerged as a problem for which our now traditional methods of treatment are often inadequate and new therapeutic approaches are required. Current efforts to explore the beliefs and cognitive processes associated with erectile dysfunction are proving rewarding and are likely to enrich therapeutic interventions in the future. Attention should now be paid to the beliefs and cognitions associated with other sexual dysfunctions, both male and female.

Surgical treatment of two female patients aged 32 and 41 years, with neurological problems causes by type I Takayasu?s aortoarteritis, are presented here. both of them were treated with by pass from ascending aorta to left common carotid and left subclavian arteries, using transsternal approach. During the follow up period (3.5 years for the first, and 2 years for the second patient) both patients were free of neurological symptoms. Corticosteroid therapy was given to the first patient for controlling of active diseases, immediately after the operation and during the first three postoperative months. By this reason an infection at the proximal part of sternal wound was developed. MRI showed involvement of the vascular graft. Due to high risk of reoperation, medical treatment was performed. Takayasu?s aortoarteritis is very uncommon in our country, as well as in other countries which don?t belong to Far East. In cases with hemodinamic important arterial lesions produced disabling symptoms, a standard PTA and reconstructive vascular procedures are indicated. Takayasu?s aortoarteritis is a complex disease. It requires combined diagnostic and therapeutic approaches which produce satisfied long-term results.

SUMMARY:This review evaluates the long-term results of Levodopa therapy in Parkinson's disease upon quality of life, prolongation of survival and excess mortality. It also focuses on recent and new therapeutic approaches: Levodopa in comhindation with a Dopa-decarboxylase inhibitor or MAO-B inhibitor, dopamine agonists and an active tripeptide: L-prolyl-L-leucylglycine amide (M1F-I). It ends by looking at new avenues of etiological research in Parkinson's disease which may indicate specific accelerated ageing of catecholaminergic (pigmented) neuronal systems.

Background: To evaluate safety, short and long-term graft patency, clinical success rates, and factors associated with patency, limb salvage and mortality after surgical reconstruction in patients younger than 50 years of age who had undergone unilateral iliac artery bypass surgery. Patients and methods: From January 2000 to January 2010, 65 consecutive reconstructive vascular operations were performed in 22 women and 43 men of age < 50 years with unilateral iliac atherosclerotic lesions and claudication or chronic limb ischemia. All patients were followed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery and every 6 months thereafter. Results: There was in-hospital vascular graft thrombosis in four (6.1 %) patients. No in-hospital deaths occurred. Median follow-up was 49.6 ± 33 months. Primary patency rates at 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year were 92.2 %, 85.6 %, 73.6 %, and 56.5 %, respectively. Seven patients passed away during follow-up of which four patients due to coronary artery disease, two patients due to cerebrovascular disease and one patient due to malignancy. Limb salvage rate after 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year follow-up was 100 %, 100 %, 96.3 %, and 91.2 %, respectively. Cox regression analysis including age, sex, risk factors for vascular disease, indication for treatment, preoperative ABI, lesion length, graft diameter and type of pre-procedural lesion (stenosis/occlusion), showed that only age (beta - 0.281, expected beta 0.755, p = 0.007) and presence of diabetes mellitus during index surgery (beta - 1.292, expected beta 0.275, p = 0.026) were found to be significant predictors of diminishing graft patency during the follow-up. Presence of diabetes mellitus during index surgery (beta - 1.246, expected beta 0.291, p = 0.034) was the only variable predicting mortality. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for unilateral iliac lesions in patients with premature atherosclerosis is a safe procedure with a low operative risk and acceptable long-term results. Diabetes mellitus and age at index surgery are predictive for low graft patency. Presence of diabetes is associated with decreased long-term survival.
