Electroejaculation in men with spinal cord injury: a step-by-step video demonstration.

Objective: To demonstrate the proper technique to perform electroejacuation (EEJ) in men with spinal cord injury (SCI) for the purpose of inducing ejaculation.

Design: A video demonstration of the proper technique to perform EEJ in men with SCI using the Seager model 14 electroejaculation machine.

Setting: Major university medical center.

Seminal inflammasome activity in the adult varicocele.

Varicocele has been hypothesized to lead to seminal inflammation, which in turn interferes with sperm function. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of decreased semen quality observed in adult men with varicocele, and to determine if varicocelectomy corrects these potential alterations. A prospective study was carried out including fifteen control men without varicocele and with normal semen quality and 15 men with varicocele with surgical indication.

Evaluation of a re-engineered device for penile vibratory stimulation in men with spinal cord injury.

Study Design: Cohort study OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of a re-engineered device (Ferticare 2.0), which is replacing the previous standard (Ferticare 1.0) for penile vibratory stimulation in men with spinal cord injury.

Phase I Trial of MRI-Guided Prostate Cancer Lattice Extreme Ablative Dose (LEAD) Boost Radiation Therapy.

Purpose: A phase I clinical trial was designed to test the feasibility and toxicity of administering high-dose spatially fractionated radiation therapy to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-defined prostate tumor volumes, in addition to standard treatment.

Methods And Materials: We enrolled 25 men with favorable to high-risk prostate cancer and 1 to 3 suspicious multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) gross tumor volumes (GTVs). The mpMRI-GTVs were treated on day 1 with 12 to 14 Gy via dose cylinders using a lattice extreme ablative dose technique.
