They are calling for a nearly complete overhaul of the sleep disorders category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (“DSM”). According to a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association in May, Charles Reynolds, MD, suggested that the reworking of this category will make sleep problems easier for professionals to diagnose and discriminate between different sleep disorders. He stated that the current DSM-IV puts too much emphasis on presumed causes of symptoms, something that the rest of the DSM-IV does not do. Bringing the sleep disorder section more in line with the other sections in the DSM should make it less confusing. Primary and commonly diagnosed sleep diso...

Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed a foam with nanoparticles encapsulating nitric oxide for the topical treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). Why is topical better? Because ED medications such as sildenafil , vardenafil, and tadalafil have limitations -- they can cause systemic side effects such as headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, upset stomach, and ab...

And Paxil may help treat it (you can read Ed Silverman's post "Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder - A Pill, Please" to find out more about that).At first, when reading Ed's post, I thought this was about a condition affecting men. I've heard that men think of sex about once every 4 seconds. I'm sexually aroused right now just writing about this stuff. And no, I'm not talking about "priapism," which IS a real medical condition affecting men (who may be taking too much Viagra).Nope. It's not about male persistent sexual arousal, which is a normal state for ...

But what is PGAD? A constant engorgement of the genitals that is unprompted by erotic thoughts or feelings, accompanied by a series of medical and psychological traits, including depression and panic attacks, at least according to one of the co-authors of a recent article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. It was first named by sex therapist Sandra Leiblum in 2001 as persistent sexual arousal syndrome, but as Leiblum and others have begun studying patients, she decided that it was more a disorder than a syndrome, writes MSNBC. Nobody knows how many women might suffer from PGAD. And the feeling of genital arousal is not always unwelcome, MSNBC notes, adding that some women like it. But if it is not causing distress, it is not considered a d... Pharmalot blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1076923 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 14:26:48 +0100 1076923
