Clinical practice guidelines: sexual dysfunction in gynecological cancer patients.

Background: Sexual dysfunctions (SDs) due to gynecological cancer (GC) are common. Healthcare providers (HCPs) are often not prepared to address sexual health issues, missing the opportunity to provide comprehensive post-cancer survivorship care.

Aim: To review the available evidence about diagnosing and managing SD after GC and providing practical clinical suggestions on behalf of the European Society of Sexual Medicine.

The Comparison of Four Models of Community Psychiatry-A Systematic Review and Preliminary Meta-Analysis of the ACT Model.

Background: The aim of this systematic review and preliminary meta-analysis is to summarize the effectiveness of selected models of community psychiatry: community mental health center, flexible assertive community treatment, community mental health team and assertive community treatment.

Methods: In order to determine the results of therapeutic interventions, comparison of symptom severity, level of functioning, use of institutional care, quality of life/well-being/recovery and satisfaction at baseline and during follow-up was conducted. Thirty-seven quantitative studies were selected, grouped according to the study model and compared in terms of positive, neutral and negative impact on patients according to efficacy factors.

Comorbidity of binge eating disorder and other psychiatric disorders: a systematic review.

Objective: Binge eating disorder (BED), although relatively recently recognized as a distinct clinical syndrome, is the most common eating disorder. BED can occur as a separate phenomenon or in combination with other mental disorders, adding to the overall burden of the illness. Due to the relatively short history of recognizing BED as a distinct disorder, this review aimed to summarize the current knowledge on the co-occurrence of BED with other psychiatric disorders.

Comparison of risk of recidivism among sexual offenders with and without sexual preference disorders using the STATIC-99R instrument.

Purpose: The STATIC-99 instrument is one of the tools used for the assessment of the risk of recidivism, in line with the actuarial approach. One of the risk factors indicated by the scientific literature as having the greatest significance is sexual preference disorder. The aim of the study was to verify whether sexual offenders diagnosed with sexual preference disorders have a higher risk of recidivism.

Assessment and treatment of compulsive sexual behavior disorder: a sexual medicine perspective.

Introduction: The addition of compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) into the ICD-11 chapter on mental, behavioral, or neurodevelopmental disorders has greatly stimulated research and controversy around compulsive sexual behavior, or what has been termed "hypersexual disorder," "sexual addiction," "porn addiction," "sexual compulsivity," and "out-of-control sexual behavior."

Objectives: To identify where concerns exist from the perspective of sexual medicine and what can be done to resolve them.

Methods: A scientific review committee convened by the International Society for Sexual Medicine reviewed pertinent literature and discussed clinical research and experience related to CSBD diagnoses and misdiagnoses, pathologizing nonheteronormative sexual behavior, basic research on potential underlying causes of CSBD, its relationship to paraphilic disorder, and its potential sexual health consequences.

An analysis of placental chorionic villous and decidual basalis tissue immunoreactivity in patients after cesarean section due to a placenta accreta spectrum disorder and elective cesarean section followed by the depressed mood.

Unlabelled: An analysis of placental chorionic villous and decidual basalis tissue immunoreactivity in patients after cesarean section due to a placenta accreta spectrum disorder and elective cesarean section followed by a depressed mood.

Research Background: Over the past few years, interest in investigating immune dysfunction in patients with psychiatric disorders has increased. B7-H4 is a molecule with immunosuppressive properties that seems to play a key role in establishing maternal tolerance against fetal antigens.

FOXP3-positive cell infiltration in the chorionic villi is increased in the placenta accreta and decreased in the placental abruption.

Objectives: Growing data suggest a role of Treg cells in placentation. The aim of the study was to evaluate Treg cells (FOXP3-positive cells) placental bed infiltration in patients with placenta accrete syndrome (PAS) and patients who experienced placental abruption.

Material And Methods: The study group included 13 patients with PAS and the control group consisted of 66 women who had caesarean (CD) delivery of whom, 44 patients with elective caesarean (EC) delivery, and 22 patients with urgent caesarean (UC) delivery due to placental abruption.

Assessment of the effect of mindfulness monotherapy on sexual dysfunction symptoms and sex-related quality of life in women.

Background: Mindfulness-based therapies (MBTs) are frequently used in the treatment of sexual dysfunctions. So far, there has not been sufficient evidence for the effectiveness of interventions based on mindfulness monotherapy.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of mindfulness monotherapy on the reduction of sexual dysfunction symptoms and sex-related quality of life.

Dyadic relationships of people with schizophrenia.

Creating successful partnerships is important for the overall quality of life. People suffering from schizophrenia experience significant difficulties in entering and maintaining dyadic relationships due to psychotic symptoms, consequences of the disease and its treatment or social stigmatization. Difficulties in creating intimate relationships are noticed already during adolescence, constituting one of the elements of prepsychotic changes.

Assessing compulsive sexual behavior disorder: The development and international validation of the compulsive sexual behavior disorder-diagnostic inventory (CSBD-DI).

Background And Aims: The World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) includes Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD), a new diagnosis that is both controversial and groundbreaking, as it is the first diagnosis to codify a disorder related to excessive, compulsive, and out-of-control sexual behavior. The inclusion of this novel diagnosis demonstrates a clear need for valid assessments of this disorder that may be quickly administered in both clinical and research settings.

Design: The present work details the development of the Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder Diagnostic Inventory (CSBD-DI) across seven samples, four languages, and five countries.

Characteristics of attachment styles in adults diagnosed with psychotic disorders - a research review.

Attachment theory offers a coherent conceptualisation of emotional bond formation, social functioning and affect regulation, which can be helpful in explaining the onset and course of mental disorders, as well as optimising the healing process. Despite the growing interest in the importance of attachment in psychopathology, this issue has not been explored in the population of patients suffering from psychotic disorders (PD) in Poland. The aim of this study is a comprehensive approach to attachment in adults in the context of PD, i.

News and future perspectives of non-surgical treatments for erectile dysfunction.

The significant discontinuation rate of available therapies and the paucity of curative options promoted the research on potential novel treatments suitable for erectile dysfunction patients. The aim of this study was to provide a summary of available evidence regarding the news and future perspectives related to the non-surgical treatment of erectile dysfunction. A narrative review of the literature was performed.

Mental and sexual health perspectives of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder •

After introduction of compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) in the ICD-11, many questions regarding etiology, classification and diagnostic criteria remain unanswered, providing rationale for further research. In this commentary, we critically review the ongoing discussion reflected in some relevant articles, and try to point out the risks of oversimplification of the broad clinical phenomenon, as well as attract attention to the neglected aspects, such as psychosexual development, intimacy disorder and the role of sexological expertise in the assessment and treatment of individuals presenting with out-of-control sexual behaviors. We also advocate for multimodal, transtheoretical approach and suggest that CSBD may be reconsidered as a condition related to sexual health.

Predictors of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Among Treatment-Seeking Women.

Background: Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder is currently included in the forthcoming eleventh revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11); however, prior studies have been conducted mostly on heterosexual, White/European male samples.

Aim: To examine the correlates of compulsive sexual behaviors (CSB) with sociodemographic and sexual history characteristics, as well as predictors of CSB in a sample of treatment-seeking Polish women.

Methods: Six hundred seventy-four (674) Polish women aged 18-66 completed an online-based survey.

Polish adaptation of emotional Stroop test in assessment of pedophilia - a pilot study.

Objectives: A pilot study was conducted in order to construct a Polish adaptation of emotional Stroop test in assessment of pedophilia.

Methods: The study consisted of two stages. The first stage involved creating test material by ranking words in adequate lists by competent experts.

Sexual Inhibition and Sexual Excitation Scales in Men: Psychometric Properties of a Polish Adaptation.

The present study aimed to develop a Polish version of the Sexual Inhibition/Sexual Excitation Scale (SIS/SES-PL) and explore its psychometric validity in a sample of 498 men aged between 18 and 55 years. We used exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to obtain the best model fit. Out of the 45 items in the original scale, 32 items with eight subscales and three higher-order factors: (sexual excitation [SES], sexual inhibition due to performance failure [SIS1], and sexual inhibition due to performance consequences [SIS2]) were included in the SIS/SES-PL.

Spotlight on Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder: A Systematic Review of Research on Women.

Purpose Of Review: World Health Organization recently included compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD) to the upcoming 11th edition of International Classification of Diseases (6C72). Despite the potential benefits of this decision (eg, the acceleration of research in the field will allow the development of effective treatments), previous research focused mainly on men, and as a result, we do not have an accurate clinical picture of compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) among women. Therefore, in this systematic review, we aim to present available knowledge on this topical subject.

Gray Matter Volume Differences in Impulse Control and Addictive Disorders-An Evidence From a Sample of Heterosexual Males.

Backgrounds: The classification of addictions and impulse control disorders is changing as reflected in the 11th version of International Classification of Disorders (WHO, 2018). However, studies focusing on direct comparison of structural brain differences in behavioral and substance addictions are limited.

Aim: Here, we contrast gray matter volumes (GMVs) across groups of individuals with compulsive sexual behavior disorder (CSBD), gambling disorder (GD), and alcohol use disorder (AUD) with those with none of these disorders (healthy controls participants; HCs).

Cost of Relapse Management in Patients with Schizophrenia in Italy and Spain: Comparison Between Lurasidone and Quetiapine XR.

Background And Objective: Schizophrenia is a low-prevalence mental disorder with a global age-standardized prevalence of 21 million people (2016). Second-generation antipsychotics (lurasidone and quetiapine XR) are recommended as the first-line treatment for schizophrenia. It is interesting to investigate how the results of clinical studies translate into direct medical costs.
