Previous studies have indicated that low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy (Li-ESWT) may improve male erectile dysfunction (ED) of vascular aetiology.

To investigate penile rehabilitation of Li-ESWT in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial in men with ED following robotic nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Included were men with ED following nerve-sparing RP with a score <22 in the 5-item International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire. Participants were divided into an active A (n=20) and a placebo/sham B group (n=18). They were randomized consecutively upon study entry. Each study arm had one treatment a week for 5 weeks.

Sexual outcomes were assessed by international validated questionnaires, Erection Hardness Score (EHS) and IIEF-5 at baseline and at 4 and 12 weeks after treatment.

A total of 38 (n=38) participants were enrolled; there were no dropouts. A significant increase was observed in IIEF-5 and EHS in group A at both 4 and 12 weeks. At 12 weeks, the ty Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (LI-ESWT) in Men With Erectile Dysfunction Following Radical Prostatectomy.

There has already been recognition that leading a healthy lifestyle, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, may have a substantial protective effect in those who become infected with the virus. Now more than ever, HL behaviors and HLM are essential and must be promoted with a renewed vigor across the globe. In response to the rapidly evolving world since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the clear need to change lifestyle behaviors to promote human resilience and quality of life, the HL for Pandemic Event Protection (HL-PIVOT) network was established. The 4 major areas of focus for the network are (1) knowledge discovery and dissemination; (2) education; (3) policy; (4) implementation. This HL-PIVOT network position statement provides a current synopsis of the major focus areas of the network, including leading research in the field of HL behaviors and HLM, examples of best practices in education, policy, and implementation, and recommendations for the future.Altering the quality of episodic meal memories has been shown to affect subsequent food intake. Acute alcohol consumption disrupts memory formation and produces short-term overeating. In two studies, we investigated whether alcohol consumption can affect meal-related memories and later food intake. Study 1 (N = 60, 50% male) investigated how consumption of an alcoholic drink (0.5 g/kg) prior to consumption of a lunch meal affected meal memory of that lunch, and later food intake, compared with a placebo-alcohol. Findings revealed that alcohol consumption did not impair meal memory, and did not affect subsequent food intake. Study 2 (N = 72, 50% male) investigated whether, due to alcohol's retrograde facilitation effect (the enhancement of recall due to reduced interference at the point of exposure) consuming alcohol after consumption of a lunch meal could enhance meal memory, compared with when consumed before a lunch meal (both a dosage of 0.6 g/kg), and compared with consumption of a soft drink. Contrary to prediction, alcohol consumed after a lunch meal did not significantly increase meal memory. But, certain types of meal memory were impaired when alcohol was consumed before the meal, compared with consumption of a soft drink. Subsequent food intake did not differ between conditions. Taken together, findings suggest that alcohol intoxication can impair some forms of meal memory recall, likely due to disruption of memory formation during the encoding phase. However, there was no evidence that this impairment contributes towards alcohol-induced overeating.Chile recently implemented a food labeling law that requires packaged foods with sugar, saturated fats, sodium, and/or calorie content that exceeds government-defined thresholds to carry a front-of-package warning for each excessive nutrient. This law does not prohibit the use of nutrient content (NC) marketing claims on packages, as long as the claims do not directly contradict the warnings. Yet, having NC claims alongside nutrient warnings might send mixed messages confusing consumers about the overall healthiness of a product. The present study tests the co-occurrence of warning labels and NC claims in breakfast cereal packages on product perceptions and behavioral intentions of Chilean adults in a 3 (warnings none, high calorie, high calorie/high sugar) × 3 (NC claims none, fiber/wholegrain, low fat/cholesterol-free) mixed-measures experiment. Fiber-related claims had a main effect leading to more positive ratings of the product, compared to having no NC claims or fat-related claims. These positive ratings extended beyond perceptions of the fiber content to perceptions of overall healthiness, naturalness, quality, vitamin content, and intentions to purchase and recommend the product-a health halo effect. No significant interaction between warnings and NC claims was found. However, warnings had a main effect on perceptions irrespective of the presence of NC claims, with one warning significantly reducing ratings, dampening any halo effects, and two warnings further dampening any effects. These findings indicate that warning labels can mitigate, but not eliminate the influences of NC claims on consumer perceptions of product healthiness.This study tested whether exposure to food-related (vs. non-food related) TV content would increase unhealthy food choices in unsuccessful restrained eaters (i.e., chronic dieters with low perceived self-regulatory success; PSRS), decrease unhealthy food choices in successful restrained eaters (i.e., chronic dieters with high PSRS), and would not affect food choices in unrestrained eaters (i.e., non-dieters). As such, we attempted to (1) explain previous mixed findings on behavioral effects of exposure to food-related TV content, and (2) generalize previous findings on successful and unsuccessful restrained and unrestrained eaters' differential reactivity to isolated food cues (e.g., food words) to food cues embedded in TV content. In a one-factorial between-subjects experiment, participants viewed a cooking segment in which high-calorie cakes were prepared (n = 50) or a non-food segment (n = 62) of a TV show. The percentage of unhealthy (vs. healthy) food choices in a computerized choice task served as dependent variable.
