Vardenafil was well tolerated and highly efficacious in men with erectile dysfunction and untreated mild major depression. Significant improvements in erectile function and depression were observed in patients treated with vardenafil versus placebo. Erectile dysfunction treatment should be considered a component of therapy for men with depression and erectile dysfunction.
The clinical efficacy of routine admission urinalyses was evaluated in 515 patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Two staff psychiatrists reviewed the patients' charts to determine which test resulted in diagnostic or therapeutic management changes. Abnormalities were found in 40 (7.8%) of the cases, but only four (0.8%) of the routine urinalyses affected patient therapy. It is concluded that routine admission urinalysis has very little impact on the care of psychiatric patients and that there is little justification for ordering this test on all patients admitted to psychiatric hospitals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
