Disfunzioni sessuali, farmaci antiepilettici e profilo ormonale sierico negli uomini affetti da epilessia
2012
Razionale ed obiettivi: Le disfunzioni sessuali sono un problema relativamente comune nei pazienti di sesso maschile affetti da epilessia, la cui.prevalenza varia dal 38-71%. La loro eziologia non è conosciuta e potrebbe essere multifattoriale; possono essere implicati nella loro genesi sia l’epilessia che l’utilizzo di farmaci antiepilettici (FAE). L’assunzione di farmaci per la terapia dell’epilessia può essere all’origine della presenza di DS e di alterazioni ormonali e riproduttive in questa popolazione di pazienti. Lo scopo dello studio è valutare l’incidenza delle DS negli uomini con epilessia, valutando il tipo di epilessia, la frequenza delle crisi, il tipo di FAE utilizzato, il pro…

Psychiatric comorbidity in Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD). Addictive Behaviors, 107, 106384. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addbeh.2020.106384 Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) is characterized by a persistent failure to control intense and recurrent sexual impulses, urges, and/or thoughts, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior that causes a marked impairment in important areas of functioning. Data collected from clinical populations suggest that CSBD frequently co-occurs with other Axis I and II psychiatric dis…
Sexual Inhibition and Sexual Excitation Scales in Men: Psychometric Properties of a Polish Adaptation.
2020
AbstractThe present study aimed to develop a Polish version of the Sexual Inhibition/Sexual Excitation Scale (SIS/SES-PL) and explore its psychometric validity in a sample of 498 men aged between 18 and 55 years. We used exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to obtain the best model fit. Out of the 45 items in the original scale, 32 items with eight subscales and three higher-order factors: (sexual excitation [SES], sexual inhibition due to performance failure [SIS1], and sexual inhibition due to performance consequences [SIS2]) were included in the SIS/SES-PL. The SIS/SES-PL was found to have a good and satisfactory fit (comparative fit index = .87; Tucker–Lewis Index = .85; root me…
Changes in sexual function and quality of life after single-incision mid-urethral sling for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.
2013
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness and assess the changes in sexual function and quality of life after placement of a single-incision sling for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. Study design A prospective study of women diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence. The single-incision sling was implanted and patients were followed postoperatively for 6 months. The postoperative rate of continence, complications, changes in sexual function, and patient-reported quality of life were evaluated. Female Sexual Function in sexually active patients was evaluated before and after the single-incision sling procedure using the Female Sexual Function Index. From January…
Sexual desire and sexual activity of men and women across their lifespans: results from a representative German community survey
2007
OBJECTIVES To present data on sexual desire and sexual activity from a representative survey of men and women covering the total age range of the adult German population, as previous studies have usually been based on samples selected for gender (either men or women) and age (ageing populations). SUBJECTS AND METHODS A representative sample of 2341 men and women aged 18-93 years were surveyed to determine frequency and intensity of sexual desire and sexual activity, and their social, individual and interpersonal characteristics. RESULTS Sexual desire declined with advancing age; overall, men reported more frequent and stronger sexual desire than women. However, there were important interact…
Minor Neurological Dysfunctions (MNDs) in Autistic Children without Intellectual Disability
2018
Background: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) require neurological evaluation to detect sensory-motor impairment. This will improve understanding of brain function in children with ASD, in terms of minor neurological dysfunctions (MNDs). Methods: We compared 32 ASD children without intellectual disability (IQ ≥ 70) with 32 healthy controls. A standardized and age-specific neurological examination according to Touwen was used to detect the presence of MNDs. Particular attention was paid to severity and type of MNDs. Results: Children with ASD had significantly higher rates of MNDs compared to controls (96.9% versus 15.6%): 81.3% had simple MNDs (p < 0.0001) and 15.6% had comple…
Akomodācijas un verģences sistēmas darbības traucējumu izplatība Azerbaidžānā
2020
Maģistra darb ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 35 lpp. Tas satur 19 tabulas, 2 pielikumus un 16 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Maģistra darba mērķis ir izvērtēt akomodācijas un verģences traucējumu izplatību un veidus Azerbaidžānas galvaspilsētas baku studentu vidū. Pētījumā piedalījās 192 dalībnieki (15-36 g.v.). Visiem tika veikta bezmaksas redzes pārbaude, kur detalizēti tika izvērtēta refrakcija, akomodācija un verģence. Rezultāti parāda, ka 51 ± 4 % dalībniekiem novēro dažāda veida akomodācijas un verģences darbības traucējumus vai to kombinācijas. Visbiežāk novērotās problēmas ir akomodācijas ekscess un konverģences nepietiekamība. Netiek novērota dzimuma un vecuma ietekme uz akomodāci…
A Preliminary Study on Cranio-Facial Characteristics Associated with Minor Neurological Dysfunctions (MNDs) in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder…
2020
Background. Craniofacial anomalies and minor neurological dysfunction (MNDs) have been identified, in literature, as risk factors for neurodevelopmental disorders. They represent physical indicators of embryonic development suggesting a possible contributory role of complications during early, even pre-conceptional, phases of ontogeny in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Limited research has been conducted about the co-occurrence of the two biomarkers in children with ASD. This study investigates the associative patterns of cranio-facial anomalies and MNDs in ASD children, and whether these neurodevelopmental markers correlate with intensity of ASD symptoms and overall functioning. Methods. …
Rapid progression of a splenic aneurysm due to segmental arterial mediolysis: a rare cause of acute pancreatitis.
2013
Abstract Background The etiology of acute pancreatitis can be manifold, beside the usual causes. We are reporting an unusual cause that triggered acute pancreatitis. Patient & results A 50 year-old male experienced attacks of acute pancreatitis (abdominal pain and elevated amylase and lipase) during sexual arousal. Serial imaging showed a rapidly-progressing, partly-thrombosed splenic artery aneurysm, with local compression of the pancreas. After angiographic coiling, the attacks subsided. Further angiography revealed additional aneurysms consistent with segmental arterial mediolysis at other sites of the body. Molecular analysis regarding Ehlers–Danlos-syndrome and genetic factors for panc…
