(15) Provided that a cooperative sexual partner is available, it is then urged that invasive treatment methods be replaced by couple therapy, and that treatment of erectile dysfunction should not be considered merely a technical repair job.
(16) The overall results did not support the notion that sleep disorders are involved in the increased prevalence of erectile impotence in healthy older individuals.
(17) A two-month follow-up, at which time patients were off treatment, erectile capacity had returned to baseline in 10 patients, while five reported complete recovery of their sexual ability.

(19) Thiazide-type diuretics also produce erectile dysfunction in rats and interfere with normal copulation.
(20) We conclude that in this experimental model immediate nerve graft repair appears to be a successful method of salvaging erectile function when the cavernosal nerves have been divided.
Papaverine
Definition:
(n.) An alkaloid found in opium. It has a weaker therapeutic action than morphine.
Example Sentences:
(1) Isoproterenol [IC 50 approximately 1 X 10(-9) M], prostaglandins, dibutyryl cyclic AMP [IC 50 approximately 2 X 10(-5) M], papaverine, theophylline and 5' AMP were inhibitory in the assay, whereas dibutyryl cyclic GMP and the cholinergic stimulator carbamylcholine either stimulated or had no effect on mitosis.
(2) Our work demonstrates that the systemic availability or papaverine can be markedly affected by product formulation.
(3) The amplitude was 15-70% as large as the tonic component of the K-contracture induced by 40 mM K. Theophylline (10 mM), 0.1 mM papaverine and 1 microM isoprenaline nearly abolished, and 1 mM cAMP partly depressed the tonic contraction of K-contracture, whereas the tonic contraction induced by the test solution was unaffected.
(4) In these studies, it is shown that increasing concentrations of carbamylcholine (carbachol) result in a shift to the right of the dose-response curves to (-)-isoproterenol and (-)-soterenol and a reduction of the maximum degree of relaxation produced by these agonists relative to that produced by papaverine.
(5) Similar results were obtained with vincamine (Vi) but vincamine's bronchoconstriction was not completely inhibited by papaverine.
(6) Pressure above and below the stenosis was measured intra-arterially and flow related measurements were made at rest and during reactive hyperaemia in the dog, and following papaverine administration in patients.
(7) Total bacterial counts, nitrate-reducing bacteria and nitrite concentration were determined in fasting gastric juice before and after 4 weeks of treatment with a strong or with a mild antacid drug, a placebo preparation and the spasmolytic agent papaverine which is known to inhibit gastric evacuation.
(8) To assess the role of hydrostatic pressure in edema formation, we compared lung permeability-surface area products (PS) in papaverine-treated lungs given either protamine alone or PAF + protamine and tested the effect of mechanical elevation of Pmv on protamine-induced lung edema.
(9) 50 patients were treated eith carbocromen and 50 with papaverine as controls.
(10) Aminophylline and caffeine can mimic this effect; however, papaverine and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine, at concentrations inhibitory to phosphodiesterase, are without effect on glucocorticoid receptor binding to DNA.
(11) The effects on these kinetics of a joint administration of Papaverine are considered.
(12) The action of papaverine was nearly similar in control and irradiated groups.
(13) In both cell cultures, changes in cyclic nucleotide levels were first observed at 6 h after viral inoculation and were maximal at 12 h. In human fibroblasts, the addition of theophylline, dibutyryl cAMP, or papaverine (cAMP-enhancing compounds) decreased significantly the yield of HSV-1, whereas the addition of insulin or dibutyryl cGMP (cGMP-enhancing compounds) increased the viral yield.
(14) In the presence of 10(-3) M-papaverine higher doses of noradrenaline evoked the non-selective cation current in some portal vein cells.
(15) During constrictions caused by norepinephrine, methylene blue significantly inhibited the renal vasodilatations caused by tertatolol, acetylcholine, papaverine and nitroglycerin but not those caused by atrial natriuretic factor.
(16) The average rates of development of the contractile and relaxation phases and their relative dependence in the acetylcholine contractile effect, after treatment with papaverine, prostaglandines E1 and F2 alpha and BaCl2, are tested on longitudinal and circular smooth muscles of guinea-pig caecum.
(17) A mixture of Hexabrix and papaverine produced a white crystalline precipitate.
(18) Papaverine is useful in vein preparation; it protects the endothelium and smooth muscle cells in the intima and media and prevents leukocyte infiltration and medial fibrosis.
(19) Nifedipine and superoxide dismutase induced small but significant relaxations in phorbol ester-contracted vessels; however, blood vessels contracted with phenylephrine and phorbol ester relaxed completely with papaverine.
(20) Bencyclan (Fludilat), used therapeutically as a vasodilator drug, exerts a distinct negative inotropic and chronotropic action on myocardium, in contrast to papaverine.
