[Sexual activity in ischemic heart disease. Risk and therapeutic possibilities].

A major concern of patients with ischaemic heart disease is whether sexual activity is safe. In addition, patients are often reluctant to discuss sexual problems, including erectile dysfunction. Fear of sexual failure or fear of an acute ischaemic cardiac event as a result of sexual activity may create anxiety and lead to avoidance of sexual activity, which can significantly affect quality of life. In patients with a recent acute myocardial infarction the participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program should be strongly encouraged. The results are an improvement in physical capacity and self confidence. The performance of an exercise test at the time of hospital discharge following acute myocardial infarction is mandatory, and can be used in both risk stratification and cardiac rehabilitation. Patients who can manage a work capacity of at least 100 Watt without evidence of myocardial ischaemia or arrhythmias may without concerns take part in an active sexual life. Comprehensive information and appropriate use of pharmacologic agents for erectile dysfunction can add significantly to quality of life.

Postcoital vaginal laceration in a patient presenting with signs of small bowel perforation: report of a case.

Postcoital vaginal rupture or tear is a well-known entity to the gynecologist, albeit unusual; however, such cases are rarely encountered by the general surgeon. The index case is reported to highlight the rare situation wherein a middle-aged woman underwent laparotomy for a suspected small bowel perforation, which revealed a vaginal tear as the cause of pneumoperitoneum. This case emphasizes the importance of taking a gynecological history and performing a gynecological examination when the clinical diagnosis is uncertain.

Symptoms and therapies: exertional and sexual headaches.

This article discusses the headache disorders associated with physical and sexual activity, highlighting their differences and similarities. The place of exertional and sexual headaches in the classification of the International Headache Society and in the proposed classification of Indomethacin-Responsive Headache Disorders is addressed here. The Valsalva's maneuver as a shared pathophysiologic mechanism is mentioned as well. Exertional headaches are divided into two subtypes, according to the pattern of physical exercises. Sexual headaches are divided into three subtypes, based on the onset time, related to orgasm. The clinical characteristics of each type are presented, and their etiologies pointed out. The diagnostic approach is discussed, as well as the nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment options.
