Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects approximately 20% of men worldwide, significantly affecting their quality of life. While phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) are the standard first-line treatment, a substantial number of patien...

Contemporary treatment algorithms for erectile dysfunction (ED) involve the use of medical therapies such as phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors and intracavernosal injection therapy of vasoactive agents, as well as vacuum erection devices and...

Intracavernosal injections of botulinum toxin A (BTX/A ic) may be effective for difficult-to-treat erectile dysfunction (ED). This is a retrospective case series study of the effectiveness of repeated off-label BTX/A ic (onabotulinumtoxinA 100U, inco...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a highly prevalent condition with a variety of possible risk factors and/or etiologies. Despite significant advances regarding ED pharmacological management, there are still insufficient responders to existing pharmacolog...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an inability to attain or maintain adequate penile erection for successful vaginal intercourse, leading to sexual and relationship dissatisfaction. To combat ED, various surgical and non-surgical approaches have been deve...

Effective therapies for erectile dysfunction (ED) associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) are needed. In this study, the effects of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)-expressing engineered mesenchymal stem cells (SDF-1 eMSCs) and the relevant mecha...

Registered pharmacological treatments are insufficiently effective for erectile dysfunction (ED) in around 30% of affected men. Intracavernosal injection (ICI) of ona- and abobotulinumtoxinA can reduce ED in insufficient responders. We aimed to asses...

Introduction: Optimizing erectile dysfunction (ED) remains a clinically significant endeavor as insufficient outcomes from oral, injectable and even surgical approaches to treatment remain less than ideal. In this report, we integrate evolving knowle...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a relevant medical and social problem. According to the World Health Organization, the commonly estimated worldwide annual incidence of SCI is 40 to 80 cases per million population. After the SCI experience, most men prese...

Sexual dysfunction following abdominal or pelvic surgery is a significant concern that impacts the quality of life (QoL) for both men and women. This paper explores the multifaceted challenges and re-educational strategies associated with post-surgic...

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is an early manifestation of cardiovascular (CV) disease. For this reason, men with ED should be carefully assessed for CV risk factors in order to prevent future major adverse CV events (MACE). Traditional risk factors are...

Background/Objectives: We compared the efficacy of audiovisual sexual stimulation (AVSS) using 3D virtual glasses with a desktop monitor. Methods: In this randomized crossover study, 60 patients with ED underwent two penile duplex Doppler ultrasound...

This study aimed to investigate the mechanism underlying social stress (SS)-induced erectile dysfunction (ED) and evaluate the effects of a single subanesthetic dose of ketamine on SS-related ED. Male FVB mice were exposed to retired male C57BL/6 mic...

The present study aimed to investigate the acute effects and the mechanism of ketamine on nicotine-induced relaxation of the corpus cavernosum (CC) in mice. This study measured the intra-cavernosal pressure (ICP) of male C57BL/6 mice and the CC muscl...

Background: The current treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is mainly based on the use of drugs that provide erections shortly after use but they do not really treat the problem. Stem cell therapy is a novel treatment with regenerative properties...

A 5-year-old recently castrated male Doberman dog presented for prolonged erection of one week’s duration with associated pain and dysuria. This was the fourth episode within a year. Each episode was associated with an unusual event, which was...
