Risk Factors for Wound Infections after Vascular Surgery: Kuwait Experience.

Introduction: Wound infections represent a serious complication after vascular surgery particularly after vascular reconstructive procedures. We aimed to identify risk factors predisposing patients to these complications.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of open vascular surgical procedures performed between April 2014 and March 2019 in Kuwait.

Relation of pharmacopenile duplex ultrasonography parameters and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction.

Introduction And Objectives: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the main threats in diabetic patients. This research aimed to assess the relationship between glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and pharmacopenile duplex ultrasonography (PPDU) indices in diabetic patients with ED.

Materials And Methods: A total of 130 males with ED were recruited (100 had diabetes mellitus (DM) and 30 did not as control).

Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment for Chronic Post-Surgical Orchialgia: A Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled, Randomized Trial: Three-Month Results.

Background: Chronic post-surgical pain in the groin region represents a challenge for the managing physician and is a burden on the quality of life of the patient. None of the existing interventions or medical treatment is satisfactory.

Objectives: We aim to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) applied to the ilioinguinal nerve and the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve for patients suffering from chronic post-surgical orchialgia.

Efficacy of local dexmedetomidine add-on for spermatic cord block anesthesia in patients undergoing intrascrotal surgeries: randomized controlled multicenter clinical trial.

Study Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of adding dexmedetomidine (DEX) to bupivacaine on the quality of spermatic cord block anesthesia and postoperative analgesia.

Design: This is a randomized, double-blind study.

Setting: This study was performed in an educational and research hospital.

Semen parameters and hormonal profile in obese fertile and infertile males.

Objective: To study the changes in semen parameters, gonadotropic and sex hormones, and serum leptin in obese fertile and infertile oligozoospermic men.

Design: Prospective.

Setting: University hospital.

Androgen deficiency and abnormal penile duplex parameters in obese men with erectile dysfunction.

Introduction: The clinical identification of metabolic syndrome is based on measures of abdominal obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, and glucose intolerance. However, the impact of hypogonadism associated with obesity on penile hemodynamics is not well investigated.

Aim: In this retrospective study, we sought to evaluate the effect of obesity on serum total testosterone (TT) level and penile duplex parameters in men with erectile dysfunction (ED).
