Association of autonomic symptoms with disease progression and survival in progressive supranuclear palsy.
Development of autonomic failure is associated with more rapid disease course and shorter survival in patients with Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy. However, autonomic symptoms have not been specifically assessed as a prognostic factor in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). We evaluated whether development of autonomic symptoms is associated with disease progression and survival in PSP. ⋯ Earlier urinary symptoms and constipation are associated with a more rapid disease progression and reduced survival in patients with PSP.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common public health issue with a significant impact on quality of life. The associations between ED and several risk factors have been reported previously. The continuously increasing incidence of these factors is contributing to the increasing prevalence of ED. ⋯ One out of 4 men already had symptoms of ED at age 45. Almost one-half of the men with ED had moderate to severe symptoms. ED was strongly associated with each analyzed risk factor, and the prevalence and severity of ED increased with an increasing number of risk factors. Hallanzy J, Kron M, Goethe VE, et al.
