Introduction: The sexual response in women is complex. The association of infertility and sexual dysfunction is overlapping.Objective: To find the incidence and prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in infertile females and its correlation with infertility.Material and Methods:Total of 500 patients in the age group of 24-42 years participated in the prospective study. They were assigned fertile and infertile group. Female sexual dysfunction was assessed according to FSFI questionnaire. Patients with past history of any psychiatric illness, endocrinological disorder e.g. diabetes mellitus or on antihypertensive treatment were excluded. In our study 170 (63.67%) patients in the infertile group (n=267) had female sexual dysfunction as compared to108 (46.35%) in the fertile group (n=233), which is statistically significant (P 0.0001). Most common dysfunction observed was arousal (70%) in infertile patients. Common dysfunctions observed in fertile females were desire(40%) and orgasm(40%). FSD was significantly higher in infertile females of 31-37 years age group (P 0.002), while more common in fertile females of >42years age (P< 0.0001) . Higher female sexual dysfunction was observed in illiterate infertile females (P 0.039). Amongst the pathological factors endometriosis was the statistically significant factor associated with female sexual dysfunction and infertility (P <0.0001). No significant correlation in duration of infertility or type of infertility was observed with female sexual dysfunction.Conclusions: Female sexual dysfunction as the cause or the effect should be ascertained in infertility.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2013; Vol. 28(1) : 26-30

Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability and is the third commonest cause of death worldwide. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality with disability and social dependence throughout the world. An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among purposively selected one hundred and seventy patients with stroke admitted at Kushtia Medical College Hospital, Kushtia from July 2014 to June 2015 to evaluate the different modifiable risk factors and their frequency among stroke patients. Stroke patients with more than 24 hours duration presenting within seven days of onset irrespective of age, sex and demographic profile were included in the study. After obtaining informed consent, patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were thoroughly evaluated for the presence of risk factors. Data were collected by investigators themselves. Out of 170 confirmed cases of stroke, 89 (52.35%) were male, while 81 (47.65%) were female. Mean age of the patients was 63.74 years with a standard deviation of 16.5 years. The highest incidence 43 (24.70%) of stroke was in the age group of 60 to 69 years. As many as 122 (71.76%) had ischaemic stroke, while 48 (28.24%) had haemorrhagic stroke. At least 119 (70.00%) cases were hypertensive. 41 (24.11%) cases had diabetes mellitus, 31 (18.23%) had hyperlipidaemia, 52 (30.6%) were smokers and 25 (14.70%) had past history of stroke. Among 81 female patients, 66 (81.48%) were in post-menopausal, whereas 15 (18.52%) were in the reproductive age group. Of them 5 (33.33%) had history of taking oral hormonal contraceptive. Hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia are the identified modifiable risk factors associated with stroke.Bang Med J (Khulna) 2015; 48 : 24-27

The Impact

Background: The impact of metabolic syndrome on female sexual dysfunction received modest consideration in clinical practice. The aim of the research was to analyze the international literature to determine the relationship between the metabolic syndrome, its components and female sexual disorders. Methods: We identified relevant full-length papers by electronic databases as Index Medicus/Medline, Scopus, Life Science Journals, from 2005 to the present. Studies were searched using the following as search query: metabolic syndrome, female sexual dysfunction, obesity, systemic arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia. Results: Women with metabolic syndrome showed higher prevalence of sexual inactivity and low sexual desire, orgasm and satisfaction respect to women without metabolic syndrome. Particularly metabolic components as diabetes mellitus, dy-slipidemia, systemic arterial hypertension were strongly associated with lower sexual desire, activity and Female Sexual Function Index total score. In contrast, other studies showed no relationship. Conclusion: Our study showed that in the clinical evaluation of women with metabolic syndrome routine inquiring about female sexual dysfunction should be recommended to ameliorate sexual function and quality of life. However more prospective and longitudinal studies on the sexual effects of metabolic syndrome should also be suggested to know the factors related to women's sexuality better.

The aims of this study are to determine the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and to examine the relationships of sexual function and psychological factors of depression and anxiety and diabetes-related factors in Jordanian women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design. All eligible participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were consequently recruited from primary care centers. All enrolled participants were asked to complete questionnaires: Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index, Beck Depression Inventory-II, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and demographic questionnaires. Physical and biological measures were collected from the patient's medical records. 107 women with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited with a mean of age of 52.46±8.38 years. The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction was 94.4%. Regarding the mean scores of the Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index domains, the highest mean score was for pain (5.09±1.51), and the lowest mean score was for sexual arousal (2.44±1.28). This study found significant inverse relationships between female sexual function and age (r= -0.340, P<0.01), duration of diabetes (r= -0.211, P=0.029), fasting blood sugar (r= -0.234, P=0.015), anxiety (r= -0.375, P<0.01), and depression (r= -0.480, P<0.01). Our study found female sexual dysfunction is widely prevalent in Jordanian women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (94.4%). There were significant correlations between anxiety, depression, and female sexual function among women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: In the past century patients with mental illnesses were treated by invasive brain surgeries which clinically resulted in a variable degree of effectiveness. We report a case of stereotactic amygdalectomy performed in a case of schizophrenia which later required medical management due to failure of the surgical procedure. Case: A 24 years old unmarried male with a past history of psychiatric illness was brought and admitted for behavioural disturbances. He recently had undergone bilateral amygdalectomy for his illness. A detailed history and mental status examination revealed diagnosis of schizophrenia. He was treated with ECTs and Clozapine on which he showed marked improvement without any side effects. Conclusion: In patients of schizophrenia psychosurgery shall be an option only after an adequate trial of pharmacotherapy and other treatment modalities.

Background: Depressive illness is present among Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the influencing factors of development of depressive illness among Parkinson’s disease patients. Methodology: This comparative cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Neurology and Department of Psychiatry at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2009 to June 2011 for a period of two (2) years. Parkinson’s disease patients who were attended at the movement disorder clinic and general OPD of Department of Neurology and in-patient department of Neurology at BSMMU, Dhaka were selected as study population. Patients with Parkinson’s plus syndrome, with dementia or other causes of parkinsonism like vascular or drug induced parkinsonism were excluded from this study. Data were collected by filling structured clinical questionnaire, then filling up of ‘structured clinical interview for DSM-IV Axis I disorders’ (SCID-CV) and self-reported ‘Depression scale` questionnaire. Parkinson disease was diagnosed by neurologist by the presence of two or more of the four cardinal criteria namely tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. Then patients were screened for depression by a psychiatrist of Department of Psychiatry at BSMMU, Dhaka. Result: A total of 100 Parkinson’s disease patients were interviewed and 80 patients ultimately participated in the study. The mean age of total Parkinson’s disease patients was 57.71±12.36 years ranging from 35 to 82 years with highest percentage (35%) had age group 65 years or above, 28.7% in 55 to 64 years, 22.5% in 45 to 54 years and lowest percentage (13.8%) in age group less than 45 years. Among 80 Parkinson’s disease patients, depression was present in 34 (42%) patients and was absent in 46 (58%) patients. Diabetes mellitus (p=0.125), hypertension (p=0.097), hypothyroidism (p=1.000), other illness (p=0.595), family history of PD (p=0.758) and levodopa use (p=0.661) were not significantly associated with the development of depressive illness in Parkinson’s disease. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), hypothyroidism, other illness, family history of PD and levodopa use do not significantly influence in the development of depressive illness among the Parkinson’s disease.

<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> Sexual dysfunction in women with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome has been an important topic, while the sexual satisfaction of partners has not been fully investigated. Our aim was to explore the association between the severity of OAB with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A total of 323 patients with OAB recruited in our hospital were included in our study from September 2017 to March 2019. Data were collected by Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaire, self-designed questionnaire for basic characteristics; Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI); and sexual satisfaction survey for sex partners of patients. χ<sup>2</sup> test or 1-way ANOVA was used to compare the variables among groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the severity of OAB with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. The correlations between different OABSS domains with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners were assessed. <b><i>Results:</i></b> All the patients were classified into mild (<i>n</i> = 107), moderate (<i>n</i> = 98), severe (<i>n</i> = 118) OAB group based on OABSS. Most of the basic information were similar among groups, except for BMI, highest education, occupation, fertility, and history of pelvic floor surgery. After multiple factors correction, the severity of OAB, exercise frequency, and the history of pelvic floor surgery were statistically associated with the female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. Urgency score was significantly correlated with female sexual dysfunction, and the urge incontinence was most significantly associated with the sexual satisfaction of partners. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Severe OAB was closely associated with female sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction of partners. The urgency and urge incontinence should be focused for OAB management.
