Published: May 1993

Twenty-five patients underwent audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) after pharmacologically-induced erection. Grade of erection and cavernosal blood flow were assessed after intracorporeal (IC) injection of TRI-MIX or prostaglandin E1, and then after AVSS, using pulsed Doppler ultrasonography (PDUS). After IC injection, 5 patients had a Grade II erection, 8 had Grade III, 10 had Grade IV, and 2 had Grade V. There was an increase in peak arterial flow and arterial diameter which corresponded with the grade of erection obtained. After addition of AVSS, 56.5 percent of patients experienced improved erection. The improvement from Grade III to IV in 13 percent is especially significant because it showed the attainment of adequate erection when IC injection alone failed. Penile blood flow improved among AVSS responders but not in nonresponders. AVSS may enhance pharmacologically-induced erection and may improve the diagnostic accuracy of PDUS.

Background: To systematically evaluate the available evidence regarding the effect of salvage irreversible electroporation (IRE) in patients with local recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) after definitive radiotherapy (RT).

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in the electronic databases PubMed-MEDLINE and the Web of Science. The following search terms were used: "irreversible electroporation AND recurrent prostate cancer", ''salvage irreversible electroporation AND prostate cancer AND radiation", "nanoknife AND recurrent prostate cancer", and ''salvage irreversible electroporation AND prostate cancer" by combining PICO (population, intervention, comparison, and outcome) terms.

Background: Electrohydraulic shockwave devices have been Food and Drug Administration-cleared for improved blood flow and connective tissue activation and have been used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). In this study, the main focus was to evaluate improvement in erectile tissue quality after low intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT).

Methods: A single-blind, sham-controlled, randomized, prospective study, was performed in men with ED naïve to shockwave or radial ballistic pressure wave therapy.

Penile injuries from self-inflicted strangulation or garroting are uncommon. Children are more likely than young adults or elderly patients to sustain such injuries. Numerous foreign things, including hair, thread, rubber bands, metallic rings, nuts, and vacuum erection devices, have been reported to be used for garroting in the literature search.

Article Synopsis
  • * The condition was attributed to overactivation of parasympathetic pathways, leading to increased acetylcholine release and resultant penile blood flow issues.
  • * Despite various treatments to alleviate the condition, including medication and irrigation techniques, the boy required a surgical procedure (distal T-shunt) to resolve the ischemic priapism caused by the scorpion envenomation.
