The pandemic caused by Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to several hypotheses of functional alteration different organs. direct influence this virus on the male urogenital organs is still be evaluated. However some can already made, especially in andrological field, for biological similarity SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2. As well as SARS-CoV, SARS CoV-2 uses 'Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2' (ACE2) a receptor enter human cells. It was found that ACE2, Angiotensin...
Over the past years laser technology has played a predominant role in prostate surgery, for treatment of benign hypertrophy (BPH). Various devices have been introduced clinical practice, showing good results terms complications and urodynamic outcomes efficacy compared with TURP Open Prostatectomy. In this study we describe safety profile novel technique, ThuLEP (Thulium Laser Enucleation Prostate) that permits complete anatomical endoscopic enucleation prostatic adenoma independently to...
Objectives: Worldwide the urolithiasis is third most frequent urological disease affecting both males and females. In literature there are not recent Italian epidemiological data about stone disease. The objective of this study evaluation current epidemiology in Italy using Health Search/CSD Longitudinal Patient Database (HS) database. Material methods: An observational, descriptive, retrospective trial was conducted. Inclusion criteria were: family physician- assisted living population...
Background. It is known that a multitude of factors may lead to male factor infertility, but still, in the majority cases, cause remains largely idiopathic, reflecting poor understanding basic process spermatogenesis and mechanisms involved. Resveratrol polyphenol compound displays several cellular aspects mainly associated with SIRT1-pathway activation promotion mitochondrial enhancer activities. In animal models, resveratrol has shown positive effects on mitochondria membrane potential....
The primary goal in the management strategy of a patient with ED would be to determine its etiology and cure it when possible, not just treat symptoms alone. One new therapeutic strategies is use low intensity extracorporeal shockwave (LISW) therapy. mechanism therapy completely clear. It suggested that LISW induces neovascularization improvement cavernosal arterial flow which can lead an erectile function by releasing NO, VEGF PCNA. Materials Methods: 31 patients between February June 2013...
Sexual dysfunctions (SDs) are common, but often underestimated symptoms in men with multiple sclerosis (MS). The most common sexual complaint a male is erectile dysfunction (ED). aim of this observational, cross-sectional study was to assess the prevalence (ED) and its relationship neurological disability, depression, urodynamic findings lower urinary tract (LUTS) these patients.
Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is a condition that appears with advancing age and affects 1/3 of men over 50 years, resulting in filling emptying symptoms. One the main limitations endoscopic techniques for BPH occurrence retrograde ejaculation. The purpose this prospective observational study to evaluate efficacy feasibility ejaculation-sparing thulium laser enucleation prostate (ES-ThuLEP) treatment BPH-related LUTS preservation Sexually active patients were enrolled followed up at 3,...
Abstract Introduction We studied the possible correlation between age, testosterone deficiency, cavernosal fibrosis and erectile dysfunction (ED). Methods 47 patients with ED were enrolled September 2010 October 2011. IIEF-EF score, NPTR test using Rigiscan method, total free levels, cavernosum biopsy carried out on all patients. Patients aged 65 or over defined as Old Age (OA) while under Young age (YA). The strength of relationships found was estimated by Odds Ratio. Results 74% values 52%...
Background: the aim of this study was to perform an Italian telematics survey analysis on changes in couples’ sex lives during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. Methods: a multicenter cross sectional conducted people sexually active and stable relationships for at least 6 months. To evaluate male female sexual dysfunctions, we used international index erectile function (IIEF-15) (FSFI), respectively; marital quality stability were evaluated by adjustment test (items 10–15);...
To evaluate the stiffness of tunica albuginea (TA), we used a new noninvasive diagnostic technique called shear wave elastography (SWE). We determined whether SWE values are correlated with degree penile curvature, time disease onset, and pain severity experienced by patients during erection. This study analyzed elasticity TA Peyronie's compared to that control group. also any correlations between cavernous bodies from diagnosis curvature erectile severity. was prospective case-control...
Shear wave elastosonography (SWE) could be used to evaluate the elasticity of penile tissue. Few studies in literature, however, have investigated its use patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) or attempted correlate findings International Index Erectile Function (IIEF-5) scores. The primary aim this study was characteristics tissue using SWE and determine possible relationships IIEF-5 Erection Hardness Scale (EHS) secondary establish a cut-off examination value over which cavernous...
