From March 1995 to February 1996, sixteen consecutive patients with Peyronie's Disease (PD) were routinely submitted to penile dynamic colour-coded doppler ultrasonography (CCDU). The test yielded normal results in 6 patients who had no erectile problems and in other 4 patients who conversely complained of reduced erectile function. In the other 6 patients who complained of reduced erectile function, the test pointed out pure arteriogenic failure in 1 case, pure venogenic failure in 4, and mixed arteriogenic and venogenic failure in 1. CCDU enables a precise assessment of erectile function as well of the site, kind and entity of the penile curvature to be corrected. These data are very useful when planning the surgical approach for each patient.

Department of Health, Nutrition, and Food Sciences, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, United States.
Background: Erectile dysfunction is a condition with a rapidly increasing prevalence globally with a strong correlation to the increase in obesity and cardiovascular disease rates.
Aim: The aim of the current study is to investigate the potential role of tubacin, a histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor, in restoring erectile function in a hypercholesterolemia-induced endothelial dysfunction model.
Methods: Thirty-nine male C57Bl/6 J mice were divided into 3 groups.

Background: Currently, the treatment and prevention of erectile dysfunction (ED) remain highly challenging.
Aim: This study conducted a systematic druggable genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to identify potential therapeutic targets for ED.
Methods: A proteome-wide MR approach was employed to investigate the causal effects of plasma proteins on ED.

Department of Urology, Zhangjiagang Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of Transurethral Holmium Laser of the Prostate (HoLEP) with Double-n Technology in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with a focus on preserving sexual function postoperatively.
Methods: Conducted as a multicenter, prospective, single-blind randomized controlled trial, this study enrolled sexually active male patients with BPH. Participants were randomized into three groups: standard HoLEP (Group A), single-n technology (Group B), and innovative double-n technology (Group C), which emphasizes the preservation of the urethral mucosa and nearby structures.

Objective: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs. Male SLE patients often face reproductive health challenges, but research on male sexual and reproductive health in SLE remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to explore the effects of SLE and its related factors on male sexual function and reproductive health.
