Iatrogenic priapism or drug-induced priapism is considered as a clinically relevant cause of veno-occlusive priapsim that is commonly caused by the administration of a certain drug or as an interaction with other drugs. Several causes have been attributed to cause such condition including the use of antipsychotic drugs as chlorpromazine. Chlorpromazine is a widely used inexpensive antipsychotic that is almost safe, but it has some encountered adverse effects including priapism. Only few cases have been reported in literature concerning priapism as an adverse effect of chlorpromazine; however, most of them were owing to overdose, prolonged administration or as an interaction with other drugs. Here, in this mini-review, we discuss the chlorpromazine-induced priapisms that have been reported in literature.Egyptian Society of AndrologyHuman Andrology2090-60488120180301Seroprevalence of HCV, HBV, HIV and syphilis among blood donors at Beni-Seuf University Hospital blood bank471124610.21608/ha.2017.1241.1009ENNashaat N.IsmailDepartment of Andrology and S.T.Ds, Faculty of Medicine, Beni-Seuf UniversityRashad MahmoudMostafaSUEZ CANAL UNIVERSITY - Faculty of Medicine, Suez-Canal University, Ismailia, EgyptMaha A.FouadDepartment of Andrology and S.T.Ds, Faculty of Medicine, Beni-Seuf UniversityJournal Article20180617Introduction: Hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis are the serious infections transmitted during blood transfusion especially with blood donation put millions of people at risk of transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs).<br />Purpose: To determine the seroprevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, anti-human immunodeficiency virus, and syphilis in blood donors in Beni-Seuf University hospital blood bank.<br />Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study. All blood donors’ records from November 2007 to April 2015 were included. We analyzed data from 30055 blood samples collected. ELISA technique to detect HCV Ab, HBsAg, HIV Ab and VDRL for syphilis was used.<br />Results: Seroprevalence of HCV, HBV, HIV, and syphilis among blood donors were (9.4, 1.6, 0.1 and 0.0002, respectively). The majority of donors, 28197 (93.3%) were males, while females were 1858 (6.7%). Prevalence of HBsAg and anti-HCV were significantly higher among males (1.5% , 8.8%, respectively) than females (0.1% and 0.6%, respectively) with (P ˂ 0.001). There was a decreasing prevalence of HCV among blood donors as the annual Anti-HCV prevalence dropped significantly from 3.29 in 2007 to 0.4 % in 2015 with (P ˂ 0.01), whereas there was a mild variation in the prevalence of HBsAg, throughout the study period, that was not statistically significant (P = 0.6).<br />Conclusion: It is important to continue screening donated blood with highly sensitive and specific tests to ensure the safety of blood for the recipient.Egyptian Society of AndrologyHuman Andrology2090-60488120180301Solo sex: Masturbation in a sample of Egyptian women11181125510.21608/ha.2018.1894.1017ENIhabYounisDermatology&andrology, faculty of medicine, Banha University, EgyptSherine H.Abdel-RahmanDepartment of Dermatology and Andrology, Banha University, Qalyoubia, EgyptFatma M.El-EsawiDepartment of Dermatology and Andrology, Faculty of Medicine, Banha University, Qalyoubia, EgyptMona A.Al-AwadyCommunity Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Banha University, Qalyoubia, EgyptJournal Article20171023Backgroud: Masturbation has been stigmatized over the years. Research work in many countries indicates that men significantly more likely than women to report having ever masturbated and associations between masturbation and various sociodemographic factors were identified.<br />Objective: This study was carried out intending to provide information about the frequency of masturbation in a sample of Egyptian women and the views of women about it.<br />Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 286 women who filled a self-report questionnaire covering four domains: epidemiology, sexual activity, assessment of masturbation practice, and probing of the religious attitudes of the participants towards masturbation.<br />Results: Among our participants, 53.5% admitted practicing masturbation. The most common frequency of masturbation was once per week (44.2%). Masturbation was considered a substitute for absence of husband or his unwillingness to have sex by 44.2% of participants. Masturbation was considered ‘haram’ (prohibited) by 39.2% of participants and 77.5% said it caused them to feel guilty. The commonest age group practicing masturbation was 20–29 years and the most common educational level for masturbators was women with a university degree (24.5%). Married women admitted to having masturbated more than virgins (32.9 vs. 10.1%).<br />Conclusion: Masturbation is a relatively common practice among this sample of Egyptian women. Most women considered masturbation ‘haram’ and felt guilty about it. The most common age for practicing masturbation was between 20 and 29 years and the most common educational level for masturbators was a university degree and married women were the most common group to admit masturbation.Egyptian Society of AndrologyHuman Andrology2090-60488120180301The use of modified Field’s stain in diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis19291125610.21608/ha.2018.1368.1011ENHamed AbdahhahHamedDepartment of Andrology & S.T.Ds, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, EgyptNashaat NabilEsmailDepartment of Andrology & S.T.Ds, Faculty of Medicine, Beni-Seuf, EgyptMarwa AhmedAldardiryDepartment of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, Fayoum University, EgyptRashad MahmoudMostafaAndrology Unit, Department of Dermatology, Venereology & Andrology, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, EgyptJournal Article20170723
