BACKGROUND Traumatic amputation of the penis is a rare surgical emergency. Although repair techniques have been well described in literature, failure of replantation and its causes are poorly understood and reported. Herein, we report the case of a 9 year old boy who underwent replantation of his amputated penis with delayed failure of the surgery, along with a discussion of recent advances in ...

In an attempt to evaluate penile corporal venous outflow, a method that utilizes intracorporal injection of Tc-RBC was developed and used in 20 patients with erectile dysfunction. Seven patients showed venous leak and 13 had normal venous outflow. Technetium-labeled RBC corporal clearance in the flaccid state and after intracorporal injection of papaverine (30 mg) and regitine (1 mg) were asses...

PURPOSE We aimed (a) to analyze the effects of iloprost as a vasodilator on the human internal thoracic artery (ITA) and (b) to compare these effects with the effects of other vasodilators now being used in the clinic. METHODS Following transfer into only Krebs solution or into Krebs solution containing papaverine or iloprost, human ITA strips were then incubated only in Krebs or in Krebs wit...

We present the 4.8-Mb draft genome of a soil bacterium identified as Arthrobacter sp. This Gram-positive soil bacterium is able to use the aromatic compound papaverine as sole carbon source and will be examined for novel oxygenases.

Doppler-sonographic examination Intracavernous papaverine injection Abstract A second Doppler examination after intracavernous injection of papaverine provides more objective data in cases with questionable penile Doppler results and vascular impotence. Dr. med. W.H. Weiske, Urologe, König-Karl-Strasse 38, D-7000 Stuttgart 50 (FRG) Doppler-sonographic examination in diagnosis of erectile dysfun...

Dear Editor, A 55-year-old female presented in 2010 with a World Federation of Neurosurgeons (WFNS) grade 3 subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). She had aneurysms of the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) (Fig.1A) and anterior choroidal arteries, plus a left pericallosal and anterior cerebral aneurysm (ACA). Clipping was delayed by emergent Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Coiling of the ACA aneurysm was u...

The effect of bassianolide (BASS), a cyclodepsipeptide, was investigated on mechanical response, membrane potential, intracellular Na and K contents and 45Ca uptake in response to acetylcholine (ACh) in guinea-pig taenia coli. BASS (10(-5) M) as well as verapamil (5 X 10(-7) M) and papaverine (3 X 10(-5) M) selectively inhibited the tonic component of the contraction induced by ACh (10(-5) M), ...

Lead and mercury have been reported to alter selectively the rod component of the electroretinogram, and to inhibit the phosphodiesterase in rod outer segments which may be responsible for generating the rods' light response. The authors have investigated the effect of lead and mercury on the voltage response to light of rods, and compared these effects with those of the phosphodiesterase inhib...

LIGATION of the anterior descending artery of the dog's heart by a standard technic produces ectopic ventricular tachycardia after a delay of four and onie-half to eight hours. Untreated, the tachycardia continues two to four days and there may be some ectopic beats on the fifth day. This persistent ectopic ventricular tachycardia that develops with myocardial infarction is difficult to suppres...
