Evidence gaps in orthognathic surgery: an international Delphi study.

The aim of this study was to assess the evidence gaps identified in a recent mapping review of orthognathic surgery by evaluating them through consultation with maxillofacial surgeons. Using the Delphi technique, a panel of surgeons who regularly perform orthognathic surgery was engaged. Potential participants were identified through articles included in the mapping review, peer nominations, and social media platforms .

Correlation between peak systolic velocity and diameter of cavernosal arteries in flaccid versus dynamic state for the evaluation of erectile dysfunction.

Previous studies have suggested that parameters measured in the flaccid state (FS) by penile duplex Doppler ultrasound (PDDU) may predict the outcome after intracavernosal injection (ICI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between peak systolic velocity (PSV) and cavernosal artery diameter (CAD) in the FS with PSV and clinical assessment of erection hardness (CAEH) after ICI. Fifty patients who underwent PDDU for erectile dysfunction were prospectively enrolled.

Clomiphene citrate treatment for late onset hypogonadism: rise and fall.

Objective: Previous series have demonstrated that Clomiphene Citrate (CC) is an effective treatment to increase Total Testosterone (TT) in Late Onset Hypogonadism (LOH) patients. However, what happens to TT levels after ending CC treatment is still debatable. The objective of this study is to evaluate TT levels 3 months after the discontinuation of CC in patients with LOH who were previously successfully treated with the same drug.
