Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture, doxylamine-pyridoxine, and their combination for treating moderate to severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) in 352 early-pregnancy women across 13 hospitals in China from mid-2020 to early 2022.
- Results showed that all treatment groups (acupuncture, doxylamine-pyridoxine, and the combination) significantly reduced nausea scores compared to controls, with the combination being the most effective.
- However, the treatment with doxylamine-pyridoxine was associated with a higher risk of having babies who were small for their gestational age, and the true clinical significance of these findings remains unclear
Objective: To observe the changes of serum free testosterone (FT) and testosterone secreting index (TSI) in ED patients, and to assess the contribution of these two indexes to the diagnosis of ED caused by endocrine factors.
Methods: We studied 120 ED patients and 30 healthy men undergoing pre-marital medical check-up in Jiangsu Province Hospital of TCM by analyzing the scores on erectile function and desire domain in IIEF, testing the serum total testosterone, luteinizing hormone by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLIA), measuring free testosterone by radioimmunoassay( RIA), and calculating TSI.
Results: Of the 120 ED patients, 5% and 1538% were below the reference norm of TT and FT values respectively.
