Review Meta AnalysisNon-invasive positive airway pressure therapy for improving erectile dysfunction in men with obstructive sleep apnoea.
Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with several chronic diseases, including erectile dysfunction (ED). The association of OSAS and ED is far more common than might be found by chance; the treatment of OSAS with non-invasive positive airway pressure therapy is associated with improvement of respiratory symptoms, and may contribute to the improvement of associated conditions, such as ED. ⋯ When compared with no CPAP, we are uncertain about the effectiveness and acceptability of CPAP for improving erectile dysfunction in men with obstructive sleep apnoea. When compared with sildenafil, there is some evidence that sildenafil may slightly improve erectile function at 12 weeks.

Prevalence, predictors and age-related sexual and erectile dysfunction in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a tertiary center experience.
The impact of sexuality and quality of life (QOL) is one of the main concerns of IBD. Despite the obvious relevance of this problem, knowledge of the extent of sexual dysfunction (SD) in IBD is limited. Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SD and erectile dysfunction (ED), QOL their predictors, and their age-related dynamic in IBD patients. ⋯ Quality of sex life is a serious concern among IBD patients and is age related. Components that play a role in sexual functioning in IBD require more clarification and further development of screening and treatment guidelines for SD to provide better care in the IBD population.

The aim of the current study was to investigate Erectile dysfunction (ED) in asthma patients without comorbidity and the relationship between the level of asthma control and ED. ⋯ The current study showed that ED is frequent and more severe in asthma patients than controls with same age. A highly negative correlation was found between ED degree and asthma control severity.

Aim To provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of aripiprazole in improving penile erection with a therapeutic strategy of add-on or switching therapy in patients with schizophrenia. Methods. PubMed, Cochrane, Clinical Key, ProQuest, EBSCOhost, and ScienceDirect were searched for any design study that evaluated aripiprazole only or versus control (placebo or other antipsychotic) for erectile dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia. ⋯ After the add-on or switching antipsychotic therapy to aripiprazole, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction and the score of erectile dysfunction or penile erection assessed by Nagoya and Sexual Function Questionnaire (NSFQ) and Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX) decreased. Conclusion Aripiprazole was effective to improve penile erectile function in patients with schizophrenia. The therapeutic strategy is adjunctive treatment or switching therapy to aripiprazole.
