hypogonadism/nicotine

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and investigate the aetiology of hypogonadism in men on methadone or buprenorphine maintenance treatment (MMT, BMT). 103 men (mean age 37.6 +/- 7.9) on MMT (n = 84) or BMT (n = 19) were evaluated using hormone assays, body mass index (BMI),

OBJECTIVE There is a substantial lack of data about men`s health in adult allogeneic stem cell transplantation. METHODS We conducted prospective unicentric non-interventional clinical study on men's health with a follow-up time of 1 year. RESULTS Between 11/2013 and 12/2015, we were able to include

The prevalence of hypogonadism has been found to be increased in certain chronic illnesses, especially diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Recently, the prevalence of hypogonadism in primary care practices mirrored that in our population of men with erectile dysfunction (ED). In this study, the

Progressive deterioration of male reproductive function is occurring in Western countries. Environmental factors and unhealthy lifestyles have been implicated in the decline of testosterone levels and sperm production observed in the last fifty years. Among unhealthy lifestyles, substance and drug

It is universally accepted that lifestyle interventions are the first step towards a good overall, reproductive and sexual health. Cessation of unhealthy habits, such as tobacco, alcohol and drug use, poor nutrition and sedentary behavior, is suggested in order to preserve/improve fertility in

BACKGROUND There are limited data in the literature that describe the management of Peyronie's disease (PD) with severe compound curvature, which often requires additional straightening procedures after plaque excision and grafting (PEG) to achieve functional penile straightening (<20

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and risk factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) and the prevalence of hypogonadism symptoms in Buluba, a rural population in Uganda. METHODS Prospective, consecutive, cross-sectional study was conducted between September and December 2010. 902 men attending the

BACKGROUND A potential association between schizophrenia and osteoporosis or osteopenia has recently been reported. Various factors affect bone mineral density (BMD) such as polydipsia, nicotine, alcohol abuse, lack of physical activity, an unbalanced diet, a lack of ultraviolet exposure and/or

Male osteoporosis is increasingly recognized as an important public health issue. Possible factors include alcohol and tobacco consume and longer life expectancy. The main causes of male osteoporosis are secondary, as hypogonadism, use of glucorticoids and other drugs. The age-related decline in

Osteoporotic fractures in men are a neglected public health problem. The pathogenesis of bone loss is incompletely understood but is probably due to reduced bone formation rather than increased bone resorption. Primary or secondary hypogonadism is a common and treatable cause of osteoporosis and

Important underlying causes of osteoporotic fracture in men include glucocorticoid therapy, low body weight, and reduced physical activity. Tobacco and alcohol use have been consistently identified as risk factors for vertebral fracture but there is less evidence that they contribute to hip

Careful examination as well as biochemical and hormonal investigations should be performed in men suffering from vertebral crush fractures, in order to detect a destructive skeletal process (multiple myeloma, bone metastatic lesions, lympho and myeloproliferative disorders), a mineralization defect

The aging process in men is accompanied by a progressive decline in serum testosterone levels. In addition to chronological aging, the various illnesses occurring in mid- to late-adult life and the medications used to treat them further contribute to lowering circulating testosterone levels. Any

BACKGROUND Osteoporosis in men is an important public health problem. Because of the tendency of the numbers of the elderly population to increase, and age-specific incidence of fractures, it is inevitable that the health burden due to fractures will increase. Chronic alcoholism is associated with

OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of and risk factors for late sequelae of treatment in patients who survived for more than 10 years after the diagnosis of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS Of 77 survivors (median follow-up duration, 16. 7 years), 44 (group A) had received
