Background and purpose: Atherosclerotic stenosis of major intracranial arteries accounts for 5 to 10% of all causes of stroke. The Warfarin versus Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) Study has demonstrated stroke onset in 5 among 100 patients with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis (AIAS) during the follow-up period of 1.8 years. However, there are no prospective studies of intracranial stenosis in healthy subjects with a longer follow-up period. We conducted a 7-years longitudinal study in healthy subjects with AIAS to examine its risk factors and prognosis. Methods: We performed a prospective study on 3,155 neurologically normal subjects without history of stroke (1724 men, 1431 woman, mean age of 59). They were followed up with the mean interval of 83 months to obtain information about their stroke event with a questionnaire by mail or telephone interview and inquiry to the relevant medical facilities. AIAS were assessed on MRA at the time of first visit for all subjects. Result: AIAS was detected in 323 subjects (10.2%; AIAS group) at the initial examination. Significant risk factors for AIAS were older age, female, hypertension, high values of fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. During the follow-up stroke occurred in 77 subjects (2.7%) from the no-AIAS group and 14 subjects (4.3%) from the AIAS group (p = 0.07). Age and sex affected the stroke onset. The Cox's proportional-Hazards regression model after adjustment of age and sex revealed the significant contribution of AIAS on stroke onset (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.03-3.4, p = 0.039). The stroke types were 11 ischemic and 3 hemorrhagic in the AIAS group. Conclusions: AIAS is a significant risk factor for future stroke even in healthy subjects. Intense management of blood pressure and glucose level might be crucial for preventing asymptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease.

Abstract Objective: Erectile dysfunction can be caused iatrogenically, due to pelvic surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sexual function at various times after pelvic surgery in male patients and to investigate the non-modifiable risk factors associated with the presence and intensity of sexuality in these patients. Results: The mean age of the participants was 66.16 ± 13.07 years old. Regarding comorbidity, 47.2% reported various cardiovascular problems, 20.8% hypertension, 9.4% diabetes mellitus and 5.7% depression. A history of colectomy was present in 36.8%, 18.9% had undergone sigmoidectomy, and 33% inguinal hernia repair. The percentage of severe erectile function increased from 38.7% before surgery to 48.1% (25% increase) after surgery, at the end of the follow-up period (p <0.05). In the multivariate analysis model, age emerged as an independent predictor of erectile function ( p <0.001). Age was the most important determinant of the IIEF score, which was aggravated by 25% from the first to the last assessment of patients.

A Prospective Study

Background : Despite being a very common complication, the aetiology and potential risk factors of diabetic neuropathy (DN) have not been clearly determined in a prospective study. Aims: The aim of Sheffield Prospective Diabetes Study was to identify the abnormalities of physiological, biochemical, haemorrhelogical and cellular function for complications of diabetes in type 1 diabetes. Materials and Methods: 66 newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic subjects (mean age 31 ± 9 (SD) duration (3 years ± 2) were identified and followed for 9 years. They had detailed neurological assessment (symptoms and signs score, nerve conduction, vibration perception threshold, warm thermal discrimination threshold and autonomic function tests) and blood samples taken for detail biochemical and haemorrheological analysis at base line and at follow up. Results: At the 9 years follow up, 51 subjects were studied of whom 18 were found to have DN using Dyck’s criteria. As expected subjects with DN had significantly higher (p <0.01) mean HbA1 over 9 years of follow up (11.8% vs 9.8%), but it was not significantly different at base line (10.2% vs 8.9%; p= 0.37). In addition, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol at baseline were found to be risk factors for the development of neuropathy (5.9 vs 4.7 mmol; p=0.01 and 3.7 vs 2.8 mmol; p=0.03 respectively). Conclusions: This prospective study confirms the findings of recent large epidemiological studies linking cardiovascular risk factors to the development of DN, and perhaps suggest a vascular aetiology for DN. Improvement of potentially modifiable risk factors for neuropathy may be useful for the development of risk reduction strategies.
