Comparison of sertraline to fluoxetine with regard to their efficacy and side effects in the treatment of premature ejaculation.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, two different serotonin re-uptake inhibitors were compared with regard to their efficacy and side effects in the treatment of premature ejaculation. METHODS: Fifty-seven patients with complaint of premature ejaculation were included in the study. Patient ages ranged from 21 to 45 years (mean age 32 +/- 2.6). They had a regular sexual life and were normal after GRISS psychological test and psychiatric evaluation. The patients were randomized into two groups according to the drugs given. Twenty-six patients aged between 21 to 36 years (mean age 27 +/- 1.1) received fluoxetine 20 mg/day for one week and 40 mg/day thereafter (group I). Thirty-one patients aged between 21 to 45 (mean age 34 +/- 1.7) received sertraline 50 mg/day (group II). All the patients and partners were re-evaluated 4 and 8 weeks after the treatment. The results were classified as unsuccessful, improvement and cure. Mann Whitney-U and Pearson chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: In the fluoxetine group, 8 (30.8%) patients cured, improvement in 11 (42.3%) and failure in 7 (26.9%). In the sertraline group, 12 (38.7%) patients cured, improvement in 10 (32.3%) and failure in 9 (29%). Side effects in group I were nausea in 3, headache in 1 and insomnia in 2 (total 6 patients, 23%). In group II, we observed nausea in 2 and mouth dryness in 6 (total 8 patients, 25.8%). No patients were excluded from the study due to side effects. CONCLUSION: Our results show that different serotonin re-uptake inhibitors have the same efficacy and side effects in the treatment of premature ejaculation.

Replantation in children.

The rates of survival of the amputated part and the functional outcomes were studied retrospectively after 13 replantations and 12 revascularizations in 25 children. The ages of the patients ranged from 2 to 15 years (mean, 6.4 years). The average duration of follow-up was 4.2 years (range, 2 to 7 years). The survival rate was higher after revascularization (94.6%) than after replantation (84.6%). Sensory recovery of all digits was satisfactory. The mean growth rate of replanted digits relative to contralateral digits was 80%. Functional results were rated as excellent in 11 cases, good in 8 cases, moderate in 2 cases, and poor in 1 case. In order to prevent functional and growth disturbances and due to cosmetic reasons, replantation or revascularization should definitely be tried for children.

Treatment of premature ejaculation with sertralin.

To evaluate the efficacy of oral sertralin in the treatment of premature ejaculation, out of 22 patients with premature ejaculation 16 received oral sertralin, 50 mg a day for at least 2 weeks. Four patients were lost to follow-up. Two patients interrupted treatment due to side effects of sertralin. Out of 16 patients who completed at least a two-week period of treatment 14 (87.5%) responded clinically. Clinical response was achieved in the first week of treatment in 11 of 16 responders (68.75%). We conclude that low dose oral sertralin may be useful with a reasonable side effect rate in the treatment of patients suffering from premature ejaculation.

Electron microscopic findings of penile tissues in veno-occlusive dysfunction: is penile biopsy necessary?

In this study, we examined the biopsy patterns of penile tissues taken during operation from patients subjected to surgical treatment for veno-occlusive dysfunction, and evaluated the importance of penile biopsy. We evaluated the findings from 17 patients with venous impotence. Fourteen of them underwent total vein ligation and the rest penile prosthesis implantation. Tissue specimens taken from superficial and deep dorsal veins, tunica albuginea and corpus cavernosum during operation were examined under electron microscope. Tissue specimens taken from 3 cadavers were used as the control group. Although the deep and superficial vein specimens of all patients did not show significant differences, oedema and increase of fibroblasts in collagen fibres of the corpus cavernosum and tunica albuginea were demonstrated. We concluded that penile biopsy as an invasive method does not give enough information about the choice of treatment for erectile dysfunction.

The effect of age in the usage of alpha receptor blocker treatment in prostate patients.

Age was considered in the usage of alpha receptor blocker in the treatment of prostate patients. Ninety patients with prostatism were treated with alpha 1 receptor blockers (Doxazocin 4 mg/day) for 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, the patients in two groups according to their age, above and below 60 years, were evaluated using International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). The patients younger than 60 years of age had more significant relief compared to those older than 60 years of age.

Phaeochromocytoma in pregnancy: a case report.

A twenty-eight years old patient with phaeochromocytoma in pregnancy is reported. In the second trimester, she was admitted to hospital for complaints of headache, fever, palpitation and weakness. A phaeochromocytoma was diagnosed. Alpha and beta blockers were given to regulate arterial blood pressure until foetal maturity was reached. Delivery was by caesarean section and the operation was continued with a right adrenalectomy. Pathological examination revealed a phaeochromocytoma.

Urethral sleeve advancement in repairement of distal hypospadias.

Thirtyfive boys with distal hypospadias were operated on using urethral sleeve advancement procedure between 1990 and 1994. Early complications such as hematoma and wound infection, and late complications such as fistula formation and meatal retraction were not seen in the patients except meatal stenosis in first month control in only eight patients. Four of them underwent dilatation and meatotomy was performed in the rest. Both cosmetic and functional results were excellent in the patients in sixth month control.

Isolated dislocation of all five carpometacarpal joints.

Fracture-dislocation of all five carpometacarpal joints is extremely rare, only ten cases having been reported since 1873. A case of isolated dislocation of all five carpometacarpal joints is presented. A good result was obtained 1 year after open reduction and internal fixation. This case is the only isolated dislocation of all five carpometacarpal joints in the English literature.

[Comparison of granulocyte function in diabetes mellitus type 1 and type 2].

The phagocytosis rate of polymorphonuclear leucocytes was measured by flow-cytometry. Vital bacteria were incubated in whole blood. 111 blood samples were measured, 54 in diabetic patients (14 type 1 and 40 type 2), the rest of 57 samples in healthy controls. Results showed firstly, that a decompensation in glucose metabolism in diabetic patients correlated with a decrease in phagocytosis. The HbA1 level was more closely correlated than the glucose level. The second result was, that despite a similar grade of decompensation in type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients, the phagocytosis was significantly lower in type 1 diabetes. No correlation was found concerning age and sex. These findings show, that the impact on granulocytic function in diabetes is of multifactorial origin, not only a shorter or longer elevation of the serum glucose level can explain it solely.

Soluble interleukin-2 receptor and interleukin-10 levels in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In the current investigation, we evaluated patients with hepatitis B infection to determine whether serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor and interleukin-10 levels were changed and whether the degree of these changes in serum levels correlated with histologic severity of hepatitis related liver injury. METHODOLOGY: 25 patients diagnosed of chronic active B hepatitis, 25 asymptomatic hepatitis B carriers, 25 healthy people with antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen and 20 healthy people without any hepatitis marker positivity were included in the study. Serum interleukin-10 and soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels were measured. The association between liver pathology, HBV DNA, serum transaminase values and these parameters were researched. RESULTS: Serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor and interleukin-10 levels were significantly higher in chronic hepatitis cases and asymptomatic carriers than that of others (P < 0.01). Serum interleukin-10 levels correlated with histological activity index and HBV DNA values (r = 0.7, P < 0.01) but not with soluble interleukin-2 receptor levels and transaminase values. CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the observation that interleukin-10 and soluble interleukin-2 receptor may play an important role in the inappropriate regulation of immune response in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection and interleukin-10 may be responsible for chronicity.
