Abstract

A case of pyocystis occurring in a woman after supravesical urinary diversion for complicated neuropathic bladder is reported. Treatment consisted of a vaginal vesicostomy. Indications for the precedure and the problems associated with it are discussed with special emphasis on sexual intercourse.

A brief male sexual function inventory for urology.

OBJECTIVES: To develop a brief questionnaire to measure male sexual function. METHODS: An initial set of questions was refined and reduced through cognitive testing and two serial validation studies. In each study, men were recruited from a sexual dysfunction clinic and a general medicine practice to complete the instrument. Test-retest reliabilities, internal consistencies, and construct validities were examined. RESULTS: The final instrument covers sexual drive (two items), erection (three items), ejaculation (two items), perceptions of problems in each area (three items), and overall satisfaction (one item). Psychometric performance was generally very satisfactory, although self-assessments of ejaculate volume are problematic. Translations have been developed and pilot tested in a number of languages. CONCLUSIONS: The Brief Sexual Function Inventory may be useful for measuring male sexual function in practice and research.

Identification of male epithelial cells in routine postcoital cervicovaginal smears using fluorescence in situ hybridization. Application in sexual assault and molestation.

In a prospective blinded controlled study, the efficacy of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect non-sperm male cells verifying sexual contact was examined. Cervicovaginal smears (CVS) from 40 women with reported post-coital intervals were examined for sperm by cytology and for sperm and non-sperm male cells by FISH using X and Y chromosome specific DNA probes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization identified sperm and/or non-sperm male cells in all specimens from women with positive coital histories, including when the partner had a vasectomy. Male cells were also detectable by FISH in CVS up to 3 weeks after coitus. In comparison, cytology identified sperm in 41% of the positive coital history cases, and none beyond 2 weeks. Fluorescence in situ hybridization is highly sensitive and specific in detecting male cells, and can be performed rapidly on routine CVS. Application of this technique can provide new and additional evidence of sexual contact when current tests are inconclusive.
