In addition to pharmacological treatment, what less frequent treatment is used for erectile dysfunction?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer & Explanation: Sexual dysfunction is simply the inability of a man to obtain or sustain an erection.

In addition, to pharmacological treatments which have proven quite effective, other treatment therapies have been in use or have been proposed and some of these therapies would be discussed below.

One of such therapies is sex therapy also known as psychosexual counselling. This is especially useful for men experiencing discord with their partners, and also because, sexual dysfunction is almost always followed by a psychogenic component. Counselling usually takes about five to twenty sessions with a counsellor.

Other proposed methods include gene therapy, which involves the insertion of genes into a patients' cells in order to replace defective ones thus improving erectile function. It however, would require regulatory approval and public acceptance.

Other therapies in consideration include the use of embryonic stem cells and low-intensity shock wave lithotripsy.

What client characteristic may contraindicate the use of tramadol for the treatment of a clientâs pain following traumatic injur
9966 [12]

Answer:

Tramadol should not be used in people who:

  • are hypersensitive to tramadol
  • have received or have been treated with MAO inhibitor drugs in the last 14 days
  • have uncontrolled epilepsy on treatment
  • are taking abstinence treatment narcotics or acute intoxication of alcohol, hypnotics, opioids and other psychotropics.
  • have respiratory issues

Explanation:

  Tramadol is an opioid painkiller that acts on the central nervous system and is indicated for the relief of pain of moderate to severe intensity.  It acts similarly to endorphins, which are natural neurotransmitters related to pain and well-being. Endorphins act by binding to brain opioid receptors by decreasing pain messages that reach the central nervous system.  Like other opioids, tramadol also exerts its analgesic effect by binding these opioid μ receptors, acting as if they were endorphins and blocking the transmission of electrical impulses of pain by the nervous system. When μ opioid receptors are activated, the brain is less able to recognize pain signals sent by the body.

   The prescription of tramadol is contraindicated in the following situations:

  • History of severe allergic reaction to tramadol  
  • Patients with acute alcohol intoxication, hypnotics, narcotics, centrally acting analgesics, opioids or psychotropes
  • Patients receiving MAO inhibitors or who have taken any MAO drugs within the past 14 days
  • Children under 12 years.
  • History of severe asthma or during acute asthma attack.
  • Severe respiratory disease.
  • Severe liver dysfunction.

How was the mind-body connection best describe
Evgesh-ka [11]
When speaking about the mind-body connection we must realize that in fact the mind is the same as the body. This 'connection' was rather artificially created. Usually we can describe it like this; when you're feeling sad or depressed (if you understand this as a mental state/state of mind) your body is also affected - you sleep more as you're more tired, you feel without energy, etc. 

Another common way is to mention pain - when you cut your finger for example (a part of your body) you can experience intense pain (a mental state). 

However, it is important to understand that every mental state corrresponds to some changes that have happened in the brain which make us perceive in the world in such a way (pain and depression are both understood as consequences of different neutrotransmitter levels and functioning for example).
