PURPOSE: Erectile dysfunction is a recognized complication of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Sildenafil citrate is a well-known management strategy for erectile dysfunction that has been found to be efficacious across a wide spectrum of comorbidities, including post-radiation erectile dysfunction. We defined the efficacy of sildenafil citrate in patients with erectile dysfunction following radiation therapy for prostate cancer and assessed the impact of the interval after ...

Assessment of the Impact of Sildenafil Citrate on Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men with Erectile Dysfunction
[ PUBLICATION ]
INTRODUCTION: Sildenafil citrate is an effective and well-tolerated oral erectogenic medication. Through phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibition, it induces relaxation in penile smooth muscle, resulting in erection. Due to its mild affinity for other PDE enzymes, it may cause smooth muscle relaxation in a number of other organs. Recent data suggest an association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Anecdotally some patients cite improvement in ...

PURPOSE: Penile prosthetic surgery is associated with satisfaction rates >90% for the general penile implant population. It is suggested that satisfaction rates may be lower in certain populations. This study was undertaken to define potential predictors of satisfaction.
METHODS: Patients undergoing penile prosthesis surgery completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) prior to surgery, and the IIEF and Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) ...

OBJECTIVES: To define the impact of intralesional verapamil injection therapy on penile deformity in men with Peyronie's disease.
METHODS: Patients underwent a total of 6 intralesional injections of verapamil. Penile deformity was assessed at baseline and 3 months after the last intralesional injection of verapamil during penile erection after the administration of intracavernosal medication. Measurement was recorded using a goniometer at maximum penile rigidity. Endpoints included ...

The Utility of Tamsulosin in the Management of Orgasm-Associated Pain: A Pilot Analysis
[ PUBLICATION ]
INTRODUCTION: Orgasmic pain is an infrequently reported but distressing problem for the patients who experience it. No consensus exists as to its etiology however bladder neck/pelvic floor spasm may play a role. This analysis was conducted to assess the effect of the alpha-blocking medication, tamsulosin on post-orgasmic pain.
METHODS: In a prospective, non-placebo controlled study, patients with orgasmic pain were interviewed and administered tamsulosin 0.4 mg po qhs for at least 4 ...

Measurement of Penile Curvature in Peyronie’s Disease Patients: Comparison of Three Methods
[ PUBLICATION ]
AIM: Peyronie's disease (PD) may be treated in a medical or surgical fashion. Factors involved in the decision of which treatment to choose include duration of disease and magnitude of penile deformity. Curvature can be measured using at-home photography (AHP), vacuum erection device (VED), or intracavernosal injection (ICI). This study was undertaken to determine the concordance between the three methods of deformity assessment. Patients were also questioned regarding the presence of ...

INTRODUCTION: Peyronie's disease (PD) is usually seen in men in their fifth decade of life.
AIM: In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the disease in young men.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The demographics, clinical features, and associated comorbidities of the patients with PD were retrospectively reviewed.
METHODS: The findings were compared between men with the disease who were under 40 years of age with those over 40 years. Statistical analyses were conducted to define ...

INTRODUCTION: As a vascular test, dynamic infusion cavernosometry (DIC) has lost popularity, and in the urologic community, penile duplex Doppler ultrasound (DUS) has become the sole test to investigate a vascular etiology of erectile dysfunction. Vasoactive agent redosing has been shown to increase the accuracy of DUS.
AIM: To define the erectile hemodynamics in men with previously diagnosed venous leak on DUS.
METHODS: Prospective data were collected on patients who (i) had been given ...

INTRODUCTION: Intracavernosal injection therapy (ICI) is a well-established second-line therapy used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Controversy exists as to whether oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) or injection therapy lead to higher satisfaction.
AIM: This study addressed ICI satisfaction in a modern cohort of patients in the PDE5i era.
METHODS: Patients on ICI for at least 6 months were included in our study. Patients were administered the International ...

Study Type--Therapy (outcomes research) Level of Evidence 2b. What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Intracavernosal injection (ICI) therapy is an important treatment option for erectile dysfunction. However, high discontinuation rates have been reported for ICI therapy, and a risk of priapism has long been a concern. There has never been a large sample study performed with multivariate analysis to characterise outcomes of ICI therapy. The present paper reviews ICI ...

Can the International Index of Erectile Function distinguish between organic and psychogenic erectile function?
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To define the ability of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) to differentiate between organic and psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED).
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients presenting for the evaluation and treatment of ED who had penile duplex Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) completed the IIEF questionnaire. Accepted ranges of the IIEF EF domain were used to grade baseline severity (severe, moderate and mild < or =11, 11-17, 18-25, respectively). Accepted criteria ...

PURPOSE: Little information exists on the natural history of PD. We defined the course of PD in a group of men with this condition who received no treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study population comprised patients with PD who presented within 6 months of disease onset, had no medical treatment and were followed until at least 12 months after disease onset. At baseline and followup penile abnormality was determined following intracavernous injection and by measurement at maximum ...

Mannose ligand receptor assay as a test to predict fertilization in vitro: a prospective study
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether mannose receptor assays can predict fertilization outcome in vitro.
DESIGN: A prospective, double-blind study of the mannose receptor properties of spermatozoa.
SETTING: Assisted human reproduction program at a university hospital.
PATIENT(S): Partners of 140 consecutive women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization cycle.
INTERVENTION(S): Motile sperm populations were tested for surface receptors for mannose by measuring their ability to bind ...

INTRODUCTION: For the practicing clinician, appreciating Peyronie's disease (PD) significant negative psychological impact is apparent. Despite this, there exists not a single study using validated instruments assessing this issue.
AIMS: To document the effect of PD on the psychosocial status of men.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression scale (CES-D) for evaluation of depression and the SF-36 for quality of life assessment.
METHODS: Men (N = 92; 54 +/- ...

PROBLEM: To determine whether the results of the Acrobeads test, which measures the expression of the complement regulator molecule CD46 on the inner acrosomal membrane following the acrosome reaction, accurately identifies semen specimens that will exhibit reduced or failed fertilization following conventional IVF insemination.
METHOD: The Acrobeads test was performed on semen specimens from 97 consecutive patients preparing to undergo an IVF cycle utilizing a standardized insemination ...
