Association between leucocyte telomere length and erectile dysfunction in US adults: a secondary study based on 2001-2002 NHANES data
Conclusion
Our results demonstrated an inverted J-curve relationship between the LTL and ED. When the LTL was ≥1.037, the incidence of ED decreased with increasing LTL. (Source: BMJ Open)

Anxiety, depression, urinary continence, and sexuality in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy: preliminary findings
ConclusionsIn the early post-surgical phase anxiety and ED are the most frequently detected components, while depressive experiences and decreased desire, typical of later stages, have not yet fully emerged. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)

Health-related quality of life following salvage radical prostatectomy for recurrent prostate cancer after radiotherapy or focal therapy
ConclusionssRP impacts HRQOL in patients with PCa after RT and FT with no significant differences. Comparison with HRQOL and BRFS of treatment alternatives is paramount to counsel patients for appropriate treatments. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Aortoiliac occlusion mimicking cauda equina syndrome, a diagnostic dilemma: A case report and review of the literature
CONCLUSION: For patients presenting with cauda equina symptomatology, it is critical to consider vascular etiology, especially for those with cardiovascular risk factors. Spine surgeons and emergency physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for vascular etiologies and consider appropriate imaging studies to promote early diagnosis and intervention to prevent subsequent neurological and life-threatening consequences.PMID:38628528 | PMC:PMC11021084 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1011_2023 (Source: Surgical Neurology International)

Association between atherogenic indexes and erectile dysfunction: a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2004
CONCLUSIONS: AIP is positively associated with the development of ED in US adults. More prospective cohort studies are needed to confirm the link between AIP and ED.PMID:38625648 | DOI:10.1007/s11255-024-04050-4 (Source: Atherosclerosis)

Possible Retinotoxicity of Long-term Vardenafil Treatment
Exp Eye Res. 2024 Apr 12:109890. doi: 10.1016/j.exer.2024.109890. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPhosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors - such as vardenafil - are used primarily for treating erectile dysfunction via increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. Recent studies have also demonstrated their significant cardioprotective effects in several diseases, including diabetes, upon long-term, continuous application. However, PDE inhibitors are not specific for PDE5 and also inhibit the retinal isoform. A sustained rise in cGMP in photoreceptors is known to be toxic; therefore, we hypothesized that long-term varde...
