Ninety-seven per cent of married women in the GCC feel there is a dire need to have a stronger information campaign to raise awareness about erectile dysfunction (ED) among their men folk. Ten per cent of males in the region are affected by the problem.

The survey was conducted as part of a study to evaluate women’s perception on the sexual aspect of a relationship and their knowledge about possible sex-related obstacles and challenges in the future.
The sampling included married women of different origins and ages living in the GCC region.

Women’s knowledge about the problem is largely due to the effects they feel because of ED among men. The survey, carried out by a pharmaceutical major, noted that women were more willing to talk about ED as an issue while the men were reluctant or embarrassed to broach the topic with their partners or even their doctors.

Dr Debashish Sengupta, a urologist from the region, said: “A whopping 75 per cent showed that women are more receptive towards treatment believing that medication can restore the sexual ability in case the partner suffers from impotence.”

Although 62 per cent of the women interviewed think that sexual power deteriorates with age, a surprising 46 per cent of the same respondents feel they are no longer attractive enough when their partners start losing interest in sexual activity.

Dr. Mike Stevens doesn’t have many medicines specifically designed to treat his young cancer patients. The U.K.-based professor of pediatric oncology relies on adult drugs, many of which are decades old.

The practice carries some risk. Incorrect dosing is the most commonly reported error in pediatric health care. More than half of medicines administered to children, including diluted Viagra used to treat infants with lung defects, haven’t been approved for young people, according to European Union statistics.

EU lawmakers, following the U.S.’s lead, are trying to change that. They passed rules in June that require companies seeking approval for new medicines to include pediatric data when a treatment may benefit young patients. Legislators increased their scrutiny of the issue after a 2004 study showed adult anti- depressants doubled the risk of suicidal thoughts in kids.

“Children deserve the same right to innovative therapies as adults,'’ said Stevens, who works at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. He often has to tell parents how to split tablets for their children to get the right dose. “We use a whole range of drugs that aren’t actually licensed for them.'’

Viagra – the little blue pill that has become a symbol for men around the world for improving their sex lives might actually be a life saver as well. According to new research conducted at Johns Hopkins University Viagra can actually help the heart.

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore conducted a study to determine the effects of Viagra on the heart. Conducted by Dr. David Kass and his team the study observed how Viagra affected the heart of 35 participants who had no past or present signs of heart disease.

For the study, the participants were injected twice with dobutamine (a drug that increases heart rate and the power with which the heart pumps blood) over a three hour period. The patients were randomly given a dose of Viagra or a placebo after the first injection.

It was observed the heart rate increased by dobutamine dropped by nearly 50% for patients who were given Viagra. Researchers determined this action was on account of Viagra’s ability to block the enzyme PDE-5. The blocking of this enzyme actually helps reduce the effects of stress on the heart and thereby make it healthier.

Talking about their discovery, Dr. Kass, who is the Abraham and Virginia Weiss Professor of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins said, “What we have recently discovered is the enzyme Viagra and drugs like Viagra block acts kind of like a brake for the heart.” Describing the condition further, he said, “the brake does come into action in normal conditions, but if applied when there is stress, you can really blunt stress response in the heart.”
