A feared complication is IPP infection, and increased operative time is a risk factor for infection. Exposure of an IPP implant to ambient air in the operating room (OR aerobiome) is thought to contribute to risk of infection from increased operative time, but this is not well-supported. The objective of this study was to evaluate if exposure to the OR aerobiome increased microbial colonization of IPPs. This was an ex vivo study using an uncoated IPP, observing standard surgical sterility and OR conditions. A sterile swab was collected every 30 min for 3 h from each IPP component. Positive controls consisted of swabs exposed to unprepped scrotal skin during in-office vasectomies. All swabs underwent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and next generation sequencing (NGS). Bioinformatic processing was carried out and taxonomic assignment was performed. No microbial growth was detected on any component of the IPPs at any time point, while positive control swabs all detected various skin flora, including bacterial and fungal growth. These findings suggest that exposure to the OR aerobiome does not increase the risk of IPP microbial colonization, at least within a 3-hour period. Further in vivo studies are needed.","PeriodicalId":14068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Impotence Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141257868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the evidence remains controversial, and the causal relationship is unclear. This study utilized genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to investigate the causal relationships between cannabis use disorder (CUD), lifetime cannabis use (LCU), and ED, as well as levels of sex hormones including estradiol (E2), bioavailable testosterone (BT), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) through Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. The primary method of analysis was the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method. Data from the FinnGen and UK Biobank were used for replication and meta-analysis. The results indicated no causal relationship between genetically predicted CUD (OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.87-1.10, P = 0.66) and LCU (OR = 1.13, 95% CI 0.84-1.50, P = 0.42) with the risk of ED. The meta-analysis provided consistent evidence (P > 0.05). No causal relationships were found between CUD and LCU with E2(CUD: β = 0.00, 95% CI 0.00-0.01, P = 0.37; LCU: β = 0.00, 95% CI -0.02-0.01, P = 0.62), BT (CUD: β = 0.00, 95% CI -0.03-0.02, P = 0.90; LCU: β = 0.02, 95% CI -0.04-0.09, P = 0.46), FSH (CUD: β = 0.01, 95% CI -0.18-0.20, P = 0.92; LCU: β = 0.01, 95% CI -0.44-0.47, P = 0.95), and LH (CUD: β = 0.01, 95% CI -0.18-0.21, P = 0.90; LCU: β = 0.13, 95% CI -0.22-0.49, P = 0.46).

Between June and July 2023, a cross-sectional survey on Qualtrics (Provo, UT) was disseminated via Research Match. Among 210 respondents, ED prevalence was 57.1% with 39.0% reporting prior ED medication use. Black or African American race (OR = 3.54, p < 0.001), Hispanic or Latino ethnicity (OR = 3.32, p = 0.01), and Medicare or Medicaid insurance status (OR = 6.07, p < 0.001) were associated with increased medication utilization. Income >$200,000 was associated with decreased medication usage (OR 0.23, p = 0.04). ED severity significantly correlated with higher medication usage.

Privacy (n = 51, 62.2%) and cost (n = 45, 54.9%) were key considerations in obtaining medications. Despite 73.2% of individuals receiving counseling regarding risks/benefits and 84.1% receiving instructions for proper use, only 28.0% correctly identified essential aspects of proper/appropriate use. Overall, we found a high ED prevalence and medication utilization rate. The preference for privacy in procuring medications suggests ongoing stigma around men's sexual health. Despite extensive counseling, a significant knowledge gap remains indicating a pressing need for enhanced patient education.","PeriodicalId":14068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Impotence Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141237466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pre- and post- COVID-19, the interest in inflatable penile implants has been steadily increasing on average in the US. The average household income for counties with the highest interest in inflatable penile implants during the pre-COVID era was $53,136, whereas for the counties with the highest interest in inflatable penile implants in the post-COVID era, the average decreased to $50,940. Similarly, the average per capita median decreased from $35,209 to $34,547. Search traffic for inflatable penile prosthesis increased following the pandemic in the US. Nevertheless, post-pandemic, individuals with lower income levels showed no change in interest in penile implant searches compared to the pre-pandemic period.

To examine subjective sexual functions in human females and their relationship to postnatal phthalate exposure and perinatal androgenization, a Sexuality Score (SS) was established from a first-stage survey questionnaire of subjective sexual function filled out by female university students (n = 68; average age 25.23 ± 5.17 years; rural 25.51 ± 6.74 vs. urban 25.85 ± 1.43 years). Seventeen phthalate metabolites in urine samples were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Females were also assessed for the 2D:4D digit ratio as an index of perinatal androgenization. The mean age of menarche was 12.82 ± 1.35 years (rural 12.59 ± 1.39 vs. urban 13.18 ± 1.27; p = 0.01). The mean age at first sexual intercourse was 14.88 ± 6.89 years (rural 14.62 ± 7.20 vs. urban 15.24 ± 6.55), and as the age of first sexual intercourse increases, the SS score tends to increase as well, albeit moderately (r = 0.25, p = 0.037).

A compounding butterfly effect of prenatal exposure to androgens was observed with disruptive effects of mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate and mono(2-ethyl-5-carboxypentyl) phthalate on sexual function. Exposure to phthalates in adult females may lead to disruption of subjective sexual function, especially concerning sexual desire and sexual satisfaction, and perinatal androgenization could augment these effects.","PeriodicalId":14068,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Impotence Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141161574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
