Multicenter Study
Physician and patient satisfaction with the new AMS 700 momentary squeeze inflatable penile prosthesis.
A single-armed, prospective, multicenter study evaluated the redesigned American Medical Systems (AMS) 700 Momentary Squeeze (MS) pump inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) with enhanced features for ease of implantation and patient manipulation. The device incorporates design changes to all components: pump, cylinders, rear-tip extenders, and reservoir. ⋯ The new AMS 700 MS IPP seems a distinct improvement over previous devices with most physicians feeling implantation and patient instruction were easier. The device also satisfied 86% of the users and virtually eliminated autoinflation.

Multicenter Study
Overactive bladder is associated with erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual quality of life in men.
The prevalence of sexual dysfunction, including erectile dysfunction (ED), is greater in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), including overactive bladder (OAB), than in men without LUTS. ⋯ OAB, as defined by the ICS, was significantly associated with increased prevalence of ED, reduced sexual activity and sexual enjoyment because of urinary symptoms, and reduced sexual satisfaction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of sildenafil citrate on the male sexual experience assessed with the Sexual Experience Questionnaire: a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with open-label extension.
The Sexual Experience Questionnaire (SEX-Q) enables quick and easy assessment of functional, emotional, and satisfaction-related aspects of the sexual experience in men with erectile dysfunction (ED). ⋯ SEX-Q change scores correlate with several other functional, emotional, and satisfaction-related outcomes in men treated with sildenafil for ED, allowing a simple and focused evaluation of the sexual experience.

Multicenter Study
Validation of the female sexual distress scale-revised for assessing distress in women with hypoactive sexual desire disorder.
The concept of sexually related personal distress is currently central to the diagnosis of all female sexual dysfunctions (FSD). In the current study, we have focused on validating a slightly revised version of the Female Sexual Distress Scale (FSDS), the FSDS-Revised (FSDS-R), to enhance the sensitivity of the instrument with patients suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD). In addition, we have attempted to extend the validation generalizability of the scale by demonstrating that both instruments possess reliability and discriminative validity in premenopausal women with HSDD. ⋯ Consistent with the FSDS, the FSDS-R demonstrated good discriminant validity, high test-retest reliability, and a high degree of internal consistency in measuring sexually related personal distress in women with HSDD. FSDS-R item 13 alone also demonstrated good discriminant validity and test-retest reliability.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Hemodynamic effects of sildenafil citrate and isosorbide mononitrate in men with coronary artery disease and erectile dysfunction.
Mild hemodynamic effects have been reported with sildenafil citrate therapy. ⋯ Sildenafil 100 mg was well tolerated and induced smaller changes in central and peripheral hemodynamic pressures compared with ISMN 40 mg. Moreover, sildenafil selectively reduced pulmonary resistance, which may have clinical importance in pulmonary hypertension.
