A new non-pharmacological vacuum therapy for female sexual dysfunction.

Although Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) affects 40% of American women, there is no FDA-approved pharmaceutical therapy. The EROS-CTD (Clitoral Therapy Device, UroMetrics, Inc., St. Paul, MN) treatment is the first FDA cleared-to-market therapy for FSD. Clitoral engorgement is believed to play an important role in female sexual arousal and overall sexual satisfaction. The EROS-CTD is a small, battery-powered device designed to enhance clitoral engorgement, increase blood flow to the clitoris, and ultimately improve arousal in women with FSD. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the EROS-CTD on sexual arousal (genital sensation, vaginal lubrication, ability to reach orgasm, and sexual satisfaction) in normal volunteers and women with FSD.

Voltaire's portrayal of old age.

A survey of Voltaire's fifty plays, written over a period of sixty-six years, was made to ascertain the traits and roles assigned to the elderly, the influence of genre and the author's age on the way they are portrayed, and the factors to which the traits associated with the elderly are attributed. The elderly have an important role in the plays, but they are portrayed more favorably in tragedy than in comedy. The period of life at which Voltaire wrote the plays did not appear to affect his treatment of old age. Psychological traits attributed to the elderly derive from character rather than age, though age is shown to tone down the emotions. The only trait consistently and specifically ascribed to old age is wisdom.
