Analytical Studies

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE) are among the most common male sexual dysfunctions. Meta-analytical studies and systematic reviews describe the frequently comorbid appearance of these two pathologies, being correlated with less favorable experiences with young females. People affected by these pathologies are more likely to have anxiety or depression and have a lower prevalence of organic comorbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure or dyslipidemia (1,2).

Hypertension is associated with an increase in cardiovascular disease and mortality. The interplay between dietary intake—especially sodium intake—and high blood pressure highlights the importance of understanding the role of eating patterns on cardiometabolic risk factors. This study investigates the relationship between a modified version of the Recommended Food Score (RFS) and hypertension in 8389 adults aged 19–64 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013–2015. A dish-based, semi-quantitative, 112-item food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intakes. Modified RFS (mRFS) is based on the reported consumption of foods recommended in the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet modified for Korean foods. High blood pressure included hypertension and prehypertension, also known as stage 1 hypertension. Men and women with the highest quintile of mRFS had a 27.2% (OR: 0.728, 95% CI: 0.545–0.971, p-trend = 0.0289) and 32.9% (OR: 0.671, 95% CI: 0.519–0.867, p-trend = 0.0087) lower prevalence of high blood pressure than those with the lowest quintile of mRFS, respectively. Our finding suggests that a higher mRFS may be associated with a lower prevalence of high blood pressure among the Korean adult population.

Abstract Background This overview aims to identify, appraise, and summarize the findings of all relevant systematic reviews about the benefits and harms of different exercise training modalities on blood pressure in normotensive, pre-hypertensive, and high blood pressure adults. Methods This overview of systematic reviews protocol was reported following the PRISMA-P Statement. We will search MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Epistemonikos to identify systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in adults with or without a diagnosis of high blood pressure that compared exercise training interventions with other or no exercise interventions. Major outcomes will be blood pressure and adverse events. Pairs of reviewers will independently screen the systematic reviews for inclusion, extract data, and appraise the methodological quality. The GRADE approach will be used to evaluate the quality of the evidence. Discussion Findings from this study will contribute to the knowledge base in the area by providing a systematic synthesis of the certainty of the evidence for the effects of the different training modalities on blood pressure. These assessments might also assist in both the development of clinical practice guidelines and to strengthen evidence-informed decision making in healthcare. Finally, this study might serve to inform patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, researchers, and decision-makers about the benefits and adverse events related to different exercise training modalities, as well as the knowledge gaps in the body of evidence.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of different types of self-reported sexualdysfunction among male type 2 diabetic patients attending diabetic clinics of National Instituteof Diabetes & Endocrinology (NIDE) at Karachi, Pakistan. Study Design: Descriptive crosssectional.Place and Duration of Study: National Institute of Diabetes & Endocrinology at DowUniversity Hospital, Ojha Campus, Karachi. From August 2014 to January 2015. Methodology:This study was conducted at diabetic clinics of NIDE at Karachi from August 2014 to January2015. Type 2 diabetic males with self-reported complaints of sexual dysfunction were selectedby non-probability convenient sampling after obtaining well informed consent. Inclusioncriteria was married type 2 diabetic males of age between 35 to 65 years with at least fiveyears duration of type 2 diabetes, taking oral hypoglycemic agents, HbA1c levels between6.5% to 9.4% and living in a stable relation with a female partner for at least one year. Patient’sdemographic, anthropometric, biochemical parameters and sexual history was recorded onpre-designed questionnaire. Arizona Sexual Experience Scale and Diagnostic and StatisticalManual of Mental Disorder-5th edition were used for quantification of sexual dysfunction. Datawas analyzed by SPSS-18, to compute mean ± SD, frequencies and percentages. P-value of<0.05 was taken significant. Results: 95 Patients Type 2 diabetic male patients were recruited;who attended diabetic clinics of NIDE with different types of SD complaints. The mean ageof patients was 53.92 ± 8.17 years with 11.59 ± 3.52 years mean duration of type 2 diabetesmellitus. 81% patients had HbA1c levels of more than 7.4% and overweight patients were52.6%. 77.9% of patients were non-smokers. According to ASEX scale, 100% participantshad clinically significant sexual dysfunction with mean score 17 ± 2.3. 58 patients had singlesexual dysfunction and among them 26.3% had erectile dysfunction, while 36 patients haddouble sexual dysfunctions and among them 20% had combination of erectile dysfunction andpremature ejaculation. Data analysis showed no significant differences in age, duration of type2 diabetes mellitus, HbA1c levels and BMI with participant’s sub-groups having single, doubleand triple sexual dysfunctions. Erectile dysfunction was the most common sexual dysfunctionself-reported by 64.2% patients either as a sole complaint or in combination with other typesof sexual dysfunction, premature ejaculation was reported by 38.9% participants, hypoactivesexual desire disorder was found in 22.1% patients while the least common sexual dysfunctionreported was delayed ejaculation by 14.7% participants. Conclusion: The combination oferectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation is most frequent, followed by the combinationof erectile dysfunction and hypoactive sexual desire disorder. All diabetic men should be askedcarefully about the probable existence of any variety of sexual dysfunctions during their medicalevaluation.

Validated Questionnaires

Purpose: We studied patient satisfaction about sexual activity after prosthesis implantation using validated questionnaires with the aim to discover if testicular prosthesis could be responsible of sexual dysfunctions (erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation). Materials and Methods: We evaluated a total of 67 men who underwent radical orchiectomy for testicular cancer and a silicon testicular prosthesis implantation from January 2008 to June 2014 at our Hospital. These patients completed 5 validated questionnaires the day before orchiectomy and 6 months after surgery: the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF5), the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT), the Body Exposure during Sexual Activities Questionnaire (BESAQ), the Body-Esteem Scale and the Rosenberg Self- Esteem Scale. We also evaluated 6 months after surgery any defects of the prosthesis complained by the patients. Results: The questionnaires completed by patients didn’t show statistically significant changes for erectile dysfunction (p &gt; 0.05) and premature ejaculation (p &gt; 0.05). On the contrary the psychological questionnaires showed statistically significant change for the BESAQ (p &lt; 0.001) and the Body Esteem Scale (p &lt; 0.001), but not for the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (p &gt; 0,05). A total of 15 patients (22.37%) were dissatisfied about the prosthesis: the most frequent complaint (8 patients; 11.94%) was that the prosthesis was firmer than the normal testis. Conclusions: Testicular prosthesis implantation is a safe surgical procedure that should be always proposed before orchiectomy for cancer of the testis. The defects complained by patients with testicular prosthesis are few, they don’t influence sexual activity and they aren’t able to cause erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.
