Race and Ethnicity Have a Significant Effect on the Disclosure of Erectile Function: An Analysis of NHANES Response Patterns.

Objectives: To determine if race/ethnicity impacts disclosure of erectile function.

Methods: Data on age, education, erectile function, and past medical history were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Response rates to a single survey question regarding erectile function were calculated and compared between race/ethnicity groups.

Exploring the relationship between socioeconomic status and erectile dysfunction: an analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between socioeconomic status and erectile dysfunction. Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a nationally representative survey of the United States population. Socioeconomic status was estimated using the poverty income ratio, a ratio of family income to established poverty levels.

Disorders of Ejaculation: An AUA/SMSNA Guideline.

Purpose: Men who ejaculate before or shortly after penetration, without a sense of control, and who experience distress related to this condition may be diagnosed with premature ejaculation (PE), while men who experience difficulty achieving sexual climax may be diagnosed with delayed ejaculation (DE). The experience of many clinicians suggest that these problems are not rare and can be a source of considerable embarrassment and dissatisfaction for patients. The role of the clinician in managing PE and DE is to conduct appropriate investigation, to provide education, and to offer available treatments that are rational and based on sound scientific data.

Presentation and resolution of gender dysphoria as a positive symptom in a young schizophrenic man who presented with self-emasculation: Frontiers of bioethics, psychiatry, and microsurgical genital reconstruction.

Gender dysphoria can present as a positive symptom of schizophrenia. Completion of gender affirmation surgeries should not occur as a result of male genital self-mutilation via a deferral of emergent surgical reconstruction. Instead, gender affirmation should be considered after a full workup and assessment for resolution of any acute psychosis.

Utility of dynamic MRA in the evaluation of male erectile dysfunction.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of time-resolved MR angiography (MRA) in evaluating penile vasculature in patients with clinically suspected vascular anomalies contributing to their erectile dysfunction correlating with penile doppler ultrasound (PDUS) findings and clinical outcomes after surgical intervention.

Methods: Men (n = 26) with signs of early vascular shunting on PDUS underwent time-resolved, contrast-enhanced (0.1 mMol/kg gadobutrol at 1 ml/s followed by saline flush) 3-dimensional spoiled gradient echo T1-weighted MRA sequence performed over 3 min with 4.
